Home again, home again

 Got back from Manchester late last night feeling happy but exhausted. I had a fantastic four days, two of which were even more fantastic because I spent them at the She-Wolf conference. Yay! I'm so excited and full of ideas right now. This conference is really going to inform my writing, and not just the werewolf stuff, but the dark YA novel I'll be working on next. When I've eaten and recovered from this weird bout of hayfever I've just developed, I'll blog about it some more.

In the mean time, thanks to those who joined my cult! The Anti-Nano movement has begun ^_^ Again, I'll blog about this some more later, because I'm sure there must be more minions out there to join my cause.

In other news, I now must cleanse and dress and go food shopping because there is nothing here to eat. I've been off the Harcombe Diet this week, since I didn't want to be a diva and start demanding particular meals while I was with Kyle's folks, and now I'm back to being a bit blargh and umf body-wise. It was nice to have a few days of just eating without thinking too hard about it, but I actually did miss the Harcombe Diet. It's a way of eating that's really working for me, and for someone who's struggled with weight and body image for most of my life, that's refreshing. So I need to go stock up on bacon, eggs, fruit and cheese, and I might even go crazy and try to make some soup. Laters!

I think some of the science behind it is quite similar, but beyond that I'm not sure. Basically with this diet, the theory is weight gain is caused by either food intolerance, candida, or blood-sugar problems, so for the first five days you cut out everything except brown rice, fish, meat, veg, and some dairy to get rid of any of those conditions you might have.

After that, you can eat more or less as you like, as long as the food isn't processed (I've had to give up chocolate and ice cream!), and you don't mix carbs with fat/protein in the same meal. It sounds like it might be quite boring, but actually I've been having some amazing meals - loads of steaks, swordfish, big plates of pasta... Last week when I came off it, I really missed it!

I LOVE ice cream! It is a big weakness of mine. Along with potato chips but that's a different story. lol

Chocolate I really like but I can kind of go without it. Sometimes I do for days and don't even realize it. lol

I should just go ahead and order it.

Thanks, Naomi! :)
