Day 9

I believe I'm through the worst of it. Quitting sugar, salt, grains, cereals, dairy, and beer cold turkey is tough to do, but totally doable and worth doing. On Saturday, I felt the worst I've felt in a long time, but Sunday was a good day, though.

Luckily, my wife's parents, Don and Jean, are in town for a few months. Jean is a master chef. She loves to cook and she's amazing in the kitchen. My plan is become her apprentice. It gets me out of washing the dishes, too, which was my primary role in the kitchen, prior. The other night, we (she) made a fish stew.
