I had a quiet day. The weather was lovely and mild. I chatted with my neighbors several times, so that was healthy. My diet's fallen apart. Bruce Springsteen sings, "You got to learn to live with what you can't rise above." I guess i'll follow his advice. Except for limiting pop to a max of one a day. I succeeded in doing that today again, at least.

My doctor said to make just one or two small, manageable changes in my diet and only add more when i had consistent success. Maybe i just made too many changes at once. It started with limiting pop. Then restricting calories. Then boosting fiber. Then restricting sodium. It ended when i tried to restrict carbs and boost protein and fats. I was keeping a spreadsheet.

I guess it was too complex, too soon. My ex-husband used to say that i have two speeds: full-blast and off. I think he might have had something there!

Edit: I bought some faux saliva and it's so excellent! I got it because i used to reach for a pop to refresh my mouth. I want to limit fluids for healthier bathroom habits, so i don't want to drink water. Faux saliva is a good option.
