Thoughts, Feelings, Rants~~
11:20pm~
Good day. A lazy day. I did do laundry though and make the kids lunches. I had left overs for lunch that I ate like a few bites of and then gave to the dog! hehe OH! I did have 2/3 of a hotdog on a bun. So I guess that was my high carb item for the day. I did enjoy having another wonderful serving of the yummy lasanga I made last week! I froze the left overs (over half a pan left! hehe) and my husband pestered me ALL week until I FINALLY gave in and reheated it and served it with a salad. For some reason, I ALWAYS think of italian food with a salad. hehe

Making good eating choices. Didn't exercise today and not so much yesterday either. I just like being alone and having that time to NOT worry about being inturrupted. Though I DID spin the dog around OFF the ground and we swung the boys in the air playing with them. So I did get SOME exercise and movement today. hehe

Tomorrow I'm making sausage soup and BLTs for lunch. Plus I'm making pork tamalies for dinner. I'm sooo hoping they turn out good! hehe Wish me luck! It's a new recipe I dreamt up from ideas I saw online. I so think I should have been a cook...well I AM a cook, but a professional one. hehe Don't know if anyone would have ate it, but I've feed numurous friends, family, and two husands thus far with it and always getting rave reviews.

I'm currently out of my nexium meds! UGH! I can totally tell. I'm using the papya extract that Linda so kindly told me about and it has REALLY helped! It's been a life saver. I'm hoping I can get in to speak with the on call doctor on Tuesday (since Monday is a fed holiday and they are closed) and get the script refilled. The one they refilled was not the strength my doctor perscribed for me (he's now deployed to the middle east) so I had to double up and of course ran out before the three month script tht they gave to me. I'm hoping I can go in no Tuesday and discuss it and explain and able to get them on board and get me squared away. This is the first time I've hd something like this. It totally has to do with my doc leaving and having to deal with other docs that only knw my history from a case file. I'll through ut abd I inow they are there to help. Just remain calm and explain the situation. It'll all be taken in hand and we'll be good to go.

I hve now concluded that type and trying to make sense after taking my sleeping pill is far more of a challenge then I would have thought. It.....is a bit of a sureal feeling. It's just Ambien for sleep and Pristiq for moods. Then a water pill for my slightly high BP and zocor for cholestrol. Plus my vitamin suppliments, calcium, evening primrose (to help with said moods), Beta caretin for my eyes, fish oil of course, B12 to help with immunity and energy lvls (which I've been on them for YEARS, and stll not seeing any benefit to taking them). I only take Pristiq, Zocor, water pills as being perscribed by doctors. The other suppliments I have heard help and found that the ALIVE vitamins break down so quickly and are able to be absorbed and really used by the body. So I am willing to pay the higher price for them Evening Prim Rose is another one that when I found that St. John's wart ws literally turning me into a psychotic I had to stop and never use it again. Thankfully a friend listened to me as I was telling her the anger and unhappyness I was feeling, with my life, myself, my choices, my husband, children. She suggested evening prim-rose as well as B12. I'm soo glad I listened! These herbs and ancient cures are indeed worth exploring. They have value other then just folklore. They truly can help. I'd much rather use a natural herb to help me then  chemically made one. Ya know?

Also. The foods you eat as well reflects your mental well being. The more healthy and fresh produce and meats you eat, the better your body and mind. The easier your body can break down foods and process them to get the best benefits from what you are consuming. Balance as well in meals goes a long way. Having that good healthy carbs to make the body work to break them down and extract the goodness within them, rather then the over processed white powder of flour and sugars that are passed off as food (don't get me wrong! I had a slice of faux wheat bread with my hotdog today. So I'm not  purest here to preach. Merely stating a of better help!). Those white carbs do nothing but create a vicious cycle in which they make me want more and more until it's an addiction. I swear there needs to be studies done on this crap! They are researching drug, look at the hold that white processed flour and sugar have over us! We know they are bad, yet, it's a compulsion to reach for those junk foods. It is an American (sadly becoming a world) compulsion to reach more and more for these food that offer nothing to help improve our bodie, minds, or help us to get healthy. Yet, as a society we are ALL reaching for them, and calling those foods 'norm' and acceptable. NO MORE! I am creating a "No white processed flour & sugar zone allowed in my house". I can not band them from my house totally, because there are others here that have the freedom to choose and have the right to foods that they wish to eat. Even my children. They must learn to make those healthy choices because they realize that healthy means active, happy, and long life. I can only be an example of it. To ensure my diet and foods are as healthy and completely white sugar & white flour free. That's processed white sugar & flour. This shall indeed be interesting. hehe Let the healthy eating begin!! I am also including white rice in this "Black listed foods" hehe

We start tomorrow! WOOT! We shall over come. WOOT! We shall show healthy eating is  GOOD thing and great thing. That caring for your body is beyond just sticking to 2-3 protein shakes a day and skating on by on 500 calories. It's about having food that is actually HEALTHY and good and changing those taste buds. Go me!! Bring it on I shall prevail!

Feed Your Body the Foods that Will Keep it Working for YOU!
