Hi all, I just wanted to check in a bit about my progress through this depression after a couple of good weeks of compliance on the BTD. The good news, as I knew it would be, is that I’m doing much better. I wouldn’t say that I’m my bright cheery self just yet, but I think that I’ve passed through the thickest, darkest part of the forest. I’ve stayed strictly compliant with the animal protein by eating only a little turkey, and trying to emphasize highly bennie fishes like tuna. I’ve not had too much fruit, but have been loading up on the veggies. I’ve also “splurged” on fresh tofu, and have benefited from it. I shall try to cut down on coffee, and drink green tea instead…but if you’ve read my blog for any time, you know that coffee is a nectar for my soul…so it’s a “try” without too much pressure!!

The best news is that I’m headed back to Cali to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday, so I’ll be able to see my best friends. I know few others who can love me for me than the ones that I’ve left behind on the left coast. It will be nice to escape there for a few days.

Here’s hoping that you all have safe and happy holidays…be well…

ps-MANY congrats to blogger Melissa for bringing a new life into her family and this world!
