Today is my 3rd day symptom free I am going to stick to Heather's diet to a tee and make sure I exercise and take measures to reduce stress, and hopefully I can keep this up. I am so glad to hear you are having so much success on Heather's Diet, and that you are symptom free. Congrats, you should feel really proud of yourself!

Foodies:
*bowl of porridge with banana & soymilk (30g oats)
*soy milkshake with chocolate, peanut butter & passion fruit (deliberately trying to up calories a bit after my rice days!)
*giant pitta with soy cream cheese
*caramel shortbread (I feel awful for cheating, because it might make me ill again, but I couldn't find anything safer to eat than this). My stomach is actually starting to hurt, but I'm not sure if it's real or psychological. Don't beat yourself up, everybody cheats from now and then and if you're lucky, your tummy will let you get away with it this time (but don't get overconfident like I have in the past and make yourself sick! ) If it was a case of you being out and that was the safest thing you could buy to eat, I've been there! I try to carry around safe snacks with me if I know I'll be getting hungry and might not have anything safe around me to eat. If you get stuck for ideas, there is a list on the Diet board with lots of good suggestions.

supper shall be: mashed potato & carrot cakes with roasted flat-cap mushrooms. Yummmm, that sounds really good. I was going to have some caramel soy icecream and tinned pears for dessert, but I think I have already eaten too much for that (my excuse for being too lazy to go to the shop and buy them!)

Exercise: walked round a wildfowl centre (4 miles?), did loads of walking round town shopping, and hefted 234kg (500 pounds?) of BMW motorcycle around (I weigh about 53kg(118 pounds) right now)!

I also did half an hour of New York City Ballet and yoga stretches this morning, and heading out to run 5 miles now.. Wow, it sounds like you get plenty of exercise in, that's awesome.

Good luck to everyone else- I hope you are all having symptom-free days as well!

so far...

cereal for breakfast..
luna bar for snack
ate leftover pulled chicken on pita and a banana for lunch
walked a few laps o fthe interior of the building at lunch

planning on another luna bar later this afternoon, and then a bike ride after work (I felt better for the ride yesterday) and then home for dinner and I'll probably eat that in 2 parts, not sure what it will be yet- DH gets to cook on Sat's- he's off all day and I work, we may wind up eating out!

Water- on my 3rd big mug of tea, and drank part of a bottle of water already... I don't normally post this because I have no issues keeping enough in me- I normally drink at least 32 oz of water and 3-4 big mugs of tea at work, and then more at home.. and a 32 oz bottle while I bike (here on the stationaries, on the road I only have storage for smaller bottles with me, but I normally take at least 2!) I'll probably get more int he habit o drinking a lot when I stop..

well I just ate a salmon burger on bread with homemade bbq... I'll probably get something else when Bill gets home- he went to run an errand and hasn't returned.. was gone when I got home but said he'd be back shortly.

I biked 4 miles today! if I can keep that up I'll be doing really well! of course with the trainer at home, I'll be doing time for awhile and doing it here I think! at least most days, I still may ride at work on occasion.
