The heat has sent everything haywire. By everything, I mean: the electronic thermometer* that's reading the the air temp instead of waiting until it's under the tongue to beep; the meals themselves which have been altered because it's too damn hot to eat let alone cook (mmm mmm smoothies); the pulse checking* (because we're grazing instead of eating full meals); the computers laboring under the effort to keep recording our efforts (please please please don't crash).
*One purpose of the elimination diet is to determine what foods e and i may have sensitivities to. Temperature and pulse rate are two indicators.
The elimination diet guidelines are hardcore -- pulse rate, for instance, should be taken prior to and 30 minutes after eating each meal, and temperature is supposed to be taken at least 3x per week, 3x each day. [Now ask me if we're doing that.]
