I realized that if I eat very little food - I do not get tired and can function. Something in my food is making me sick. So I decided that starting Monday I am going on a detox diet - I will try to limit all artificial foods and flavoring, milk and cheese (except yogurt), and eat a lot of fresh and cooked veggies, fruits, nuts, and minimally processed proteins (meats and fish) and unflavored or naturally flavored whey proteins. Until monday - I will try to (gently) start getting off this stuff.

I will try to do that for 2-3 weeks and see how I feel.  I hope that it will help some of my issues. 

Also - I am giving up the alcohol for the time being.  No more wine - and the only alcohol that is allowed is in some of the herbal extracts that I take.  

So my renew commitment for the remaining time of the lent:

1. meatless Fridays
2. meatless Wednesday night (if possible)
3. no alcohol (medicinal purpose excluded)
4.No whip cream (cat already finished one can - so I can start her on the other)
5. mnimaly processed food - home cooked meats, fish etc.  No takeouts
6. No milk, cheese
7. No (or very limited) artificial sweetners, or colors
8. No soy or beans
9. No SA

A lot of fresh or frozen, cooked or not, vegetables and fruits - organic if possible
As natural as possible whey proteins powders.
Green drinks, vitamins, minerals
Home prepared foods - good quality foods.
Natural meats, fish, nuts, etc.
If possible - organic foods and drinks.
Probiotics, yogurt
Exercises, yoga, baths, and other cleansing methds to try to get rid of the toxins.
Meditation, A lot of walking

Great idea- with only 13 days of Lent left- it's a great idea to look at what we are doing- then adjust our eating a little! 
Detoxing is something we all should consider.
