A day in the life with multiple sclerosis.
Forks over Knives Lentil Minestrone Soup

Forks over Knives Lentil Minestrone Soup

I said I’d post a recipe this week. It’s winter good time for soup. This was an easy super tasty soup. I even used my Doterra Oils in place of the dried spices which gave even extra flavor. I missed my soups. I hope you like it. Packed with vegetables. Lentil Minestrone Ingredients • 1 small onion • ¾ cup dried brown lentils • 1 carrot • 1 stalk celery • 3 cloves garlic • 4 cups vegetable stock •…

Back to Forks over Knives, plant based eating

Back to Forks over Knives, plant based eating

I tried Keto for a few months and it did work for me at first. I did take off weight but eating like that wasn’t something I could do on a long term basis. As I got sick of the food, I started eating bad. I just don’t like cheese and butter all that much after not eating it for over a year. At first it was good like a new treat but that wore off quickly. I did like…

My chunky French bulldog

My chunky French bulldog

We went for her annual yesterday and my girl gained 11 pounds this year. However last year she was very thin but still. My vet said it wasn’t terrible but we have to cut down her food and replace some with green beans so she doesn’t starve. My vet loves her. We have been at my veterinarian for my dogs since my Boomer was 1. She loved him too. On a side note She was amazed by how good his…

Multiple Sclerosis and migraines

Multiple Sclerosis and migraines

I’ve suffered from migraines for over 15 of my 21 years of having MS. I remember when I got the first one. I was driving home from a meeting that was close to one of the NY airports and I was in major traffic. Probably a little stressed because I had to pick up my daughter at school. It started as an Aura, one that I’d get to know very well over the years, but this was the first time….

Every Breaking Wave-U2 Acoustic Version

Every Breaking Wave-U2 Acoustic Version

I’ve shared this song before to be honest. This whole album from U2 disappeared off of my iPod sometime back. It is off their Songs of Innocence album. When you’ve been a fan of U2 since you were 10 and it’s 37 years later for a song to be your favorite U2 song, that’s saying something. This version just moves me. I finally just put it back on my iPod yesterday and listened to it today. It is just so…

Spiritual session Saturday-Prosperity Mantra

Spiritual session Saturday-Prosperity Mantra

I have to be honest, I’m on a fixed income and my finances aren’t completely in order. It’s hard to pull yourself out of debt, even though you’ve made strides, when your income just has a limit. My everyday bills aren’t changing and my disposable income just isn’t enough. I’d have these plans to pay off my debt that would work at first until something else comes up that needs to be paid. The next thing I know the debt…

Brrrr it’s cold in here

Brrrr it’s cold in here

Well actually it’s cold out of here and by that I mean the pool. I go down and it’s all warm. I get into the pool and it’s nice and warm and I get out and I’m frozen. I think it is once again a big thanks to my MS that once that chill sets in I can’t get warm until I hit a hot shower. That leads to overheating and acting up my other MS issues. Not the most…

Still intermittent fasting 7 months later

Still intermittent fasting 7 months later

I am still doing this all these months later. I now eat between the hours of 11-7. I also don’t usually drink my coffee until 11 as well. The truth is I haven’t lost weight from this but I haven’t gained weight either. I have to agree with the doctors that losing weight when you lose mobility is very difficult. I sit most of the time so I don’t burn as many calories as the average person. I do try…
