If you have ever read my blog or not, my biggest personal growth this year was reading A Course in Miracles. It’s a book compromised of a reading section, a workbook section and a teachers manuel. I am on the workbook section now which is a lesson a day for 365 days. I start everyday reading the workbook. I’m currently on lesson 181. Like any spiritual path, A Course of Miracles is not a religion, it is a way of…
First I’m happy to report I lost a pound. Second I still have no craving for meat. I’ve also been doing pretty good with my coffee. I haven’t really been missing my half and half with my coconut milk/almond milk blend. I use a brown sugar/truvia sugar blend in my coffee for a sweetener and it all flows nicely. I even throw in a cap of mirolax sometimes. I learned that Veestro who has those prepared plant based diet foods http://Www.veestro.com does…
Starting Saturday I will be following a plant based diet. Why Saturday? One of my birthday gifts from my sister and brother-in-law was a gift certificate to Terra Kitchen. They are a home delivery food company that sends the ingredients and you put the meal together. The difference is they cut the ingredients for you which for me is tremendous because I can’t do that anymore. My first delivery is Saturday. I also ordered from Veestro the 21 day kick…
Well good morning self sabotage, how you doing today? Yeah I know it’s all me. Making bad choices and then throwing my hands up. I’ve been writing this blog for three months you think that finally something with sink in, NAH. I have finally excepted that the chance of me losing the last 20 pounds is pretty slim. Would it be better for me with MS? Of course but I think there comes a point where your body just…
I am my own worst enemy. It really is a joke. I keep the scale away to prevent my own sabotage but all that really happens is the sabotage is put off. I knew I was down weight so I stepped upon the evil scale. Again I wasn’t technically down weight just back to my normal weight I usually am. Still not taking off an ounce of the 20lb I still want to loose BUT did take off the few…
For the longest time I used to juice for a day of the week. My thought process on this is save the energy of digestion and let my body have energy for something else like healing. I use to stick with healthy juices. I always had tomato juice in there from trader joes or whole foods that had nothing artificial in it. Tomato juice even though acidic was a filling juice. I’d always have a couple carrot juice never a…
Normally this is supposed to be Monday’s post. For some reason I was feeling good today so I took out the mean, horrible, evil scale. I’m sure you can tell by my tone how this went. I have to say except for an isolated chocolate chip cookie from Panera Bread (really good I might add) I’ve been really healthy. I use to eat pizza once a week I’ve had it one time in the last four weeks. I haven’t gone…
Results of the Diet & Multiple Sclerosis Study Doing something different today.The link above has valuable and interesting information about diet and MS. Specifically Dr. Roy Swank’s diet. Years ago my first step mother gave me Dr. Swank’s book, The multiple sclerosis diet. You can find it on amazon. It is a low fat diet concentrated on the omega fats, fruits and vegetables. Not ground breaking stuff but there was a small case study on it and the data shows…
