I have been purging the house slowly - the weather has made trash and organization more difficult - my schedule is completely shot. Hopefully I can finish the closet tonight. As long as the house is done by Jan 30 I am okay with it.
As for our diet we have been doing very well. Yesterday Ken cheated a bit with Chinese - but he got chicken w/ vegetables and went light on the rice (really he shouldn't have had white rice - we are trying to stick to whole grains like brown rice or wild rice). Today we had lunch at the Indian Oven on East Main. Best tomato soup ever - it was absolutely delicious. We shared a lunch portion of chicken tika masala so our rice portion was minimal and it was a whole grain rice. We did cheat a little and each had a piece of naan. My second portion of refined carbohydrates for 2010 - not too bad! Tonight is fish again, salmon and asparagus.
As I tried to explain to Ken PCOS makes the carb cravings almost unbearable. I am doing everything you are told to - drinking lots of water, eating whole grain starches, filling up on fruits and vegetables. I am not going to allow myself white bread, rolls, or pasta no matter what! The one piece of naan today - even though it is not a heavy bread, did take the edge off the carb craving.
Honestly I can't wait until February when I can reintroduce whole wheat pasta into my diet. It is all about portion control and trying to retrain my body to not be dependent on refined carbs.
