okay, enough celebrating...i'm so blessed by jesus that i was able to post a POSITIVE ticker change!
see, i've been trying to follow the Marilu Henner 30 Day to Better Health plan... it's tough! i have two of her books, but i had gotten the 30 Day one out of the library. I figured if i had the plan for 30 days, how hard would it be? UGH!!!!!!
so, the gist of this plan?
NO MEAT NO SUGAR
alright...the meat i can deal with...except maybe for bacon every now and again...i've been a vegetarian wannabe for far too long in my adult life and this is the time to go for it. I can eat all the fish i want, and i'm still out there on the dairy issue. The sugar thing i know i need to do because of family diabetic history. Caffiene i've been off of totally for many years, because ever since my almost 18 yr old was born, i can't tolerate the stuff other than chocolate...it's this DAIRY thing that i'm having issues with. I will NOT completely go all soy for protien. There's just too much conflicting reports. I don't mind the soy margarine, that's passable and small amouts. I'll even try some tofu for stuffed shells or something (all my Italian anscestors just died again) but i'm not making it a staple of my diet. Which leads to the second "pillar" of her program, which is food combining.
okay...here's where i'm having a tough time. It's relearning all the right things about food and abandoning all the wrong things. what when eaten with what makes a complete protien...what eaten with oranges isn't allowed. what can't i put cheese on (ANYTHING!!!!) rice milk and soy milk is alright...i even have an online friend who is cheering me on in all this...but DARN!!! i want my cheese!
i really can feel it today...even yesterday, after i had my ricotta.butter/pasta-fest, my tongue felt...slimy!
but still...after ALL this complaining, fussing and completely rebelling...Jesus STILL saw fit to give me a gift. A small gift in the whole huge scheme of things, but a gift none the less. He gave a gift to a misreable wretch like me. I think i'll go cry a bit and PRAISE Him for all the gifts He has given me...
-SALVATION -my husband -my healthy children -way too much to even list
three pounds can really change your whole attitude!
be blessed this Easter! |
this is NOT for the faint at heart! But even with my small cheats (a few chocolate chips, one chocolate cupcake and a heavy dairy and pasta day yesterday) the Lord STILL graciously allowed a loss! 
so i have positive proof from my own body that dairy (at least in the massive quantities that i obviously partake) is NOT a great thing (i forgot about the huge dollop of REAL mayo that i put on my tuna too) Comments
