| It has been a very long time since I have posted. I can't believe time has flown by this fast and it's 2012. So much has happened since I last posted. First, I am going back to work after 4 1/2 years of being a SAHM. I am sad but I am ready and excited. I will be working as a nurse at UCI and I couldn't be happier working for a great medical facility. Second, I ate like an animal and now I have been dealing with gallbladder attacks. OUCH. This has opened my eyes. I was in so much pain and I knew that I needed a detox. I dusted off the breville, my tea pot, restocked my fridge with lots of fruits and veggies and have been loving the changes I am feeling. My goal was to rest my digestive system. I wanted to consume pure and fresh food that was easily digestable. No meat, dairy,caffeine, sugar or processed stuff. It took 3 days for the pain to go away and I did it all through my diet. I love the lightness and the energy too. Have you considered changing or eliminating foods from your diet? How did it make you feel? I would love to hear. My menu for the last two days: Upon waking: room temp water with lemon breakfast: fruit or juice(beets, carrots, celery, apples, lemon) snack: hot tea lunch: green salad with lemon juice and salt snack: hot tea or juice (carrot, apple, pear, ginger, parsley) dinner: miso soup snack hot tea I know to some you may think this sounds like nothing but I must stress I was in pain and fearful of eating because I knew it may cause pain to flare up. This worked for me and I have learned so much of what I need to avoid to prevent this from happening.  |
| A salad beast. This was actually served in a medium sized mixing bowl. I ate it all. |
 |
| Berry tea for the girls and camomile for me. The muffins were for the girls too and I refrained. |
 |
| The first juice in a long time. Carrot, apples, celery. It's all I had in the fridge before I did my shopping |
 |
| My tea pot that I've had for 6 years. Great for loose leaf teas. |
 |
| Breville juicer has been dusted and being used three times per day. |
