Nutrition

The hubster and I were at Barnes & Noble last night grabbing a book for his Oma {Grandma} to fill out about her life. Anyway, I happened to ask the clerk if she had any books on Endo and to my surprise she did. It wasn't to much of a surprise...that store has every book imaginable but I flipped through the book in a hurry and seen a chapter on diet. It rambled on about how your diet can be a huge part of your Endometriosis. Huh...who woulda thunk? So since the hubby has worked long hours this week he's fast asleep on the couch at 10:00 p.m. I remember when we were just getting to a movie at 10:00 p.m. not to long ago when we were dating. Now I'm upstairs blogging and scrapbooking and he's asleep. What exciting lives we live! I'm content and that's all that matters!

So diet it is. I failed to mention in the midst of the last couple months I've gained 5 pounds. Something I'm NOT very happy about. I hate gaining weight. It puts me in the worst funk ever and from what I've read, Endo can cause weight gain. GREAT! I'm almost positive the weight I have gained is from stress. I've been eating really healthy. Lots of fruit and small portions when I do eat but that 5 pounds seems to be lingering. Time to get my butt in gear. I started researching diet with Endometriosis and found that I should pretty much become a vegetarian. That's not going to happen....I'm not gonna lie, I love chicken. I could eat it everyday. I love bread and I love pasta and I love greasy hamburgers once every 6 months. So I'm on to search for a not so restricted diet. I'm sure just changing my eating habits will help. I need to cut out breads and probably that iced coffee I feel the need to buy at least twice or three times a week in the hot summer days.

Maybe this is my motivation for a healthier lifestyle and maybe, just maybe if I'm lucky my husband will play along.
