Day 2 - Not Quite There Yet

So far on my to-do list I have:

Purchased the book
Read 2/3's of it
Purchased Dermrash cream - TOTAL RIPOFF - gave me maybe 2 oz for $28!! Haven't used it yet but MAN it's frustrating!
Identified a couple of sources for bones (Real Foods in Orem/SLC, free range farm in SLC, marrow bones in freezer from 1/2 grass fed cow we purchased)
Joined FB support group for Weston A. Price
Put a raw egg yolk on Kai's legs tonight for the allergy test

I'm SO overwhelmed. This is do-able...ish. Basically, it's a full on lifestyle change. And it's important for the whole family to do it. Highly unlikely that my husband will agree to it. Unbelievably unimaginable that I can get through it, too.

Worst part? You should do the whole thing for 2 years and then wait 6 months to come off it before trying to conceive a kid. I don't have that kind of time. I'm not convinced this is something I should do but it sure sounds like I need it.

My little bro who has done many of the individual parts of this protocol is going to come help me for hopefully a week. But what I need is so beyond only a weeks' worth of help. Looks like I should hold off on the fermenting until I've reached stage 2 of the intro diet. So that wipes out my to-do list from before.

Now I need to talk to the hubs and find out if he's even willing to consider/if he is supportive. We need to pray about it. Then I need to try the different recipes starting from the beginning of the diet and moving forward. I want to have experience with most of these things prior to beginning full-term. Halfway through december is a flat out terrible time to try to start something like this. BLA!

Moving forward with faith...
