New Changes

New changes are underway. When you tell your church friends your struggles not in a complaining way, you can find help asap!

This fall I wasn't in the mood to go to a hay ride. The IBS issues were a hassle and then so was the constant yeat infection. Newly found that being a diabetic and socializing was not going to be a diet for me. You know the normal picnics with baked beans, buns, chips sweets, crackers, bbq meats. I opened up with the hostess and that was it.

While there after the hayride I had a woman come and sit next to me who didn't know me. We have had new people coming to our church and many I didn't know. (I am home doing daycare and I am busy sometimes 7 days a week day and night. So I am home all the time.) I told her a few things and she told me her husband has been a diabetic for 43 years! He is on insulin. Wow! God intervention or what? Lucine has been a help in this battle. She gave me a book to read, her personal bible so to say.
"The Maker's Diet" by Dr. Jordan S. Rubin.

I thought I had problems for 30+ years living with IBS and here Jordan was 19 when his issues started (I was 18) and he almost died from his condition! He was ready to have surgery and get a bag because parts of his intestines were in very rough shape. His family brought him to Dr.'s around the world for help. Here to make a LONG story short, he PRAYED asking God to heal him. He was a skelleton and had lost so much weight and hair. Within 3 months of living the Maker's Diet he was at a healthy weight! Talk about CHANGES!

In a nut shell: Gave up Wheat, dairy and ate Kosher meats! No refined or processed foods! Eating wild meats and meats that God allowed back in the Bible. I am not going to give it away, you have to read this book!

Making these new changes being allergic to Wheat, Gluten, Dairy and Eggs has been difficult and I have been a whinner! OMG forgive me! My body is going through withdrawls over cheese, and wheat. Wheat of course turns into sugar. Sugar is our biggest addiction! I can have rice, I can have potatoes but in moderation because they turn to sugar fast. I can have POPCORN! That is my crunch factor and pig out if you need one.

I have done so many veggies that you would not believe it! I am now going to plan out my garden. There are going to be so many kinds of veggies that I would not have tried before!

I have been wheat and dairy free since Jan 2. I will share recipes later as I go along. I did 1.75 miles on the treadmill on Tuesday and yesterday I did a workout with "Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred". Her workout is 20 minutes and dig this: EQUALS 1 HR IN THE GYM! Hello changes!
