I got my happy light in yesterday, wow talk about bright! It lit up the room so much that I can see all of the cobwebs and dust balls that were hidden in the corners of the ceiling......gonna have to get rid of those. Sitting by it right now, it's amazing how crisp and clear it makes my book I am reading. Maybe this is the cure for my chronic squinting when trying to read with a 60 watt soft white bulb. Could not afford the 10,000 lux light so had to go for the 5,000 lux which means having to leave it on for two hours for minimal assistance. I will probably keep it on the entire time I am at my computer, it actually makes the screen less stressful on my eyes also. As far as eating, I am doing well....I had run out of heavy cream and whey protein on Tuesday, so since I was way down on my calories for the day, last night for dinner I had made mac & cheese for hubby and I added two tablespoons to my plate. This was the first pasta to pass my lips since I began. It did not taste good at all. Very heavy, doughy and tasted like flour. I thought I had made it badly since I did not sample it while cooking, hubby said, no...it's perfect, the way you always make it, tastes delicious....hmmmmm. Two months without ANY and when I try it again, it tastes like crap. I wonder if all of the things we think we love taste good just because our palettes are jaded? The broiled pork chops were yummy, the salad was crisp and tasty, just the mac and cheese was blah and heavy on the flour taste. Interesting....
