Thanks for giving it to us to gnaw on.<br /><br />As to that new eating plan. I wish you every success. I've never been on such a stringent eating plan but I have fasted for three days and that led to my potassium level falling and a blackout. All I'm saying is be sure and take care of yourself and please check your body's reactions to what's happening. The not drinking coffee after all these years would be such a strain on your body--I'd think. So I'm glad to learn that you are going to at least have a pot of it a day. I so hope your own hopes for this new eating plan give you much more comfort as you hold and play with your grandchild when McBaby is born.

Hoping the rest of her pregnancy goes well and healthy McBaby arrives right on time. I'm sure Gramma Rita can hardly wait. :)<br /><br />Good luck with the diet. I know I couldn't do it. I have some of the same issues as you, but those kinds of diets are too extreme for me. I wish you all the best, tho.AliceKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027650364526343030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-48666455024763254702014-04-07T17:47:06.539-05:002014-04-07T17:47:06.539-05:00Karma looks so pretty in her sunbeam.

I can use track changes for about an hour and then it stops and won't work again till the next day. It's irritating when I'm on an editing roll and have to stop. I also have trouble getting Florida Blue to take my health insurance payments. It's their fault, not mine, but they won't listen when I tell them that my bank says they are coding my payments incorrectly. I think they reject my payments so they can claim I don't make them. They are out to get Obamacare, which allows me to have insurance for the first time in years.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-60752401889108143292014-04-07T12:57:30.599-05:002014-04-07T12:57:30.599-05:00It feels like Leah has been pregnant forever!!

I think the computer people should focus on fixing problems and stop trying to make new "toys" so we can actually enjoy the technology items we have, and use them when we want to without having to call technical support first.<br /><br />Good luck with the new diet. I know I could never do a diet as restrictive as that; if I tried I'd want the not allowed foods even more than I want them now, because that's how I work. I hope it works for you though, so you can be well enough to get down on the floor and play with McBaby.Victoria Ziglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872256336482196922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-26599902229896441402014-04-06T22:08:09.019-05:002014-04-06T22:08:09.019-05:00Good luck with the new diet.

I've thought about trying it too but don't want to be buying and fixing two separate grocery list . My husband would never go on it with me and I don't really blame him as I"m not thrilled with the prospect myself :) My IBS got so bad this past summer that I had to give up coffee and it nearly killed me!!!!! Like you I drank it all day long . It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life! <br />Best of luck with your trial and I will be following your progress ♥Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192378197271824011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-57768617089474046382014-04-06T07:40:36.635-05:002014-04-06T07:40:36.635-05:00Keep us posted on your diet.

Like you, I'm a vegetarian, but will never be a vegan, because I like my dairy too much. I could NEVER give up coffee, either. That would be the killer for me. But I applaud you for your efforts.

Do wean off the caffeine. My daughter was told to eliminate coffee and she quit cold turkey. She had nearly debilitating headaches for several weeks. Hubby is also extremely sensitive to caffeine. If he doesn't get a strong ice tea or Diet Coke early in the morning, he, too, gets an awful headache. I wish you much luck!GrandmaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155312241647998530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-64268620375094881942014-04-05T15:01:49.264-05:002014-04-05T15:01:49.264-05:00That's an incredibly restrictive and difficult...That's an incredibly restrictive and difficult diet.
