I eat pretty close to The Swank diet (no red meat, very low Saturated, no Trans Fat) and have faithfully since the summer/fall of 2008 (if memory serves me correctly, may be a bit off).

I agree Mariel. When I go on vacation, while I'm such an angel about my diet 355 days of the year, the other 10 I'm the devil. I'm like a child in a candy store about eating. I don't read labels! I don't count fat contents! The only rule I'm steadfast about is not consuming red meat.

My MS becomes the fist of justice soon after, everything flares up to some degree to remind me "It's no honeymoon princess, put away the horns and the tail!".

It's simply not worth it, and I know better every time. Last vacation I was a lot 'better' (behaved) and cooked a lot more for hubby and I. He's a type 1 diabetic so we both fared a lot better in the end ultimately.

(my cognitive work battle rages on, speaking of the first of justice. Tough week's done, work appeal for modified work duties/accommodation has been submitted for review via insurance/doctors, now the waiting game and follow up appointment next week)

Oh, I had a situation today where I completely fumbled over wishing a client (very nice lady) a Happy Mother's Day. I almost wished her a Happy Birthday (not EVEN kidding), thankfully I was able to giggle and she was able to giggle and I explained it had been a long day/week - hey, it's Friday. Considering that was the second call of my day (8 hour shift), yeah... I shouldn't be on the phone. What a mess. I'm glad we weren't busy.
