The Woman’s Belly Book

If you’ve been reading my blog for very long, you’ll already know that I’m overweight and have been trying to lose weight and feel good about myself.  Most of the time I feel badly about my body and that’s not healthy.  But there’s another part of me that KNOWS that my bad feelings are from the inside, and about emotional issues that I haven’t quite worked out yet, not about what shape my body is in.

Protect Baby- Protect Mom & Get a FREE Baby Jogger City Mini stroller

When I was pregnant with my sons I had heard about blood cord banking, but I didn’t know how to find out about it.  It was relatively new back in the early 90′s and all I had really heard about it was from various science shows on Discovery channel.  The internet was still new, so I didn’t even have that to really research it either.  If I had known about it I would have wanted to take advantage of this amazing scientific plan for your baby’s future and possibly even your other children’s future.  If I get pregnant again, I’ll for sure be wanting to do this!

I’m NOT Turning 40 Next Year!!!

At least that’s what I thought.  LOL!  Steve and I were having a cigarette in the garage and talking about Jr. High School memories.  I don’t remember exactly how we got onto THAT conversation.  But then Steve said this truly horrible thing:

Are YOU 1 in 3 Like Me?

This is not an easy post for me to write.  I feel strongly that I need to post this though, so despite the excruciating embarrasment that I’m feeling, I will continue to write about this.  It’s something that affects One in Three women in the US.  I am that one.  Are you?

I Hate Being Sick

Not just because it’s not fun, but because I can’t do anything while I’m sick… well sick like this at least.  I’ve been coughing up my lungs for the last week.  It’s been fun, NOT!  I’ve been taking cough meds and trying to get rid of whatever this is, but to no avail.  I’ve been getting a little better daily, but it’s taken a lot out of me for sure.

Allergies

I was born with allergies, severe almost deadly allergies.  I was allergic to sugar & protein.  Needless to say, I was breastfed until I was almost 2 years old because of that.  I couldn’t eat anything else!  As I got older my allergies changed and some went away all together.  They keep changing as I get older still.  Some have gone away and new ones have popped up.  It’s a never ending battle to figure out what I’m allergic to now and what I have to stay away from.

My Gallstone Diet

Those things are nasty looking, aren’t they?  Those are gallstones… not MY gallstones, but someones.  These nasty little things have been acting up on me this week.  I’ve been in pain because I cheated on my diet a teensy weensy HUGE bit.  So I’m in pain and back on my “Jack Sprat Diet”.  I thought I’d share some of the things I’ve been eating to get myself back on track.Breakfasts – Some of the things I’ve been eating for breakfast aren’t very different than my normal breakfasts.  Sourdough bread only has .5 grams of fat per slice!  It’s my favorite type of bread too, so I toast up a couple of slices, use fat free butter spread, and have a banana pus a cup of coffee with fat free non-dairy creamer.  Total Fat – 1 gram Continue reading

Updates

My Health:

So, After I was diagnosed with gallstones I stopped eating so much fat.  I ended up losing 15 lbs in almost as many days.  Then over the holidays, I didn’t stick to my diet and I gained 5 lbs back.  Well since New years, I’ve stuck to my diet much better and have lost 7 lbs so far.  I”m feeling really good, even cute!  So this whole “eating right” thing is working pretty nicely for me.

Challenges, Illness & Bills, Oh MY!

Ok, so I’ve had some manifestations come, and they came just in the nick of time. As I’ve seen many times before, with following a new spiritual path, when you’re on the right path, the obstacles come out in force.… Continue reading
