waiting...


while i wait to feel better,
i'll keep doing my very best.


i'm really proud of how i'm taking special care...
i also see the smart choices my girls are making.
it helps the mama to have their co-operation. 


they understand what's going on
and they are
my greatest motivation to get back on track.


oliver has been by my side every minute.
he watches me wash and chop and peel...
wishing for a bit of apple or carrot or pepper or onion.
he likes it all...whatever flies off the cutting board.
***
he's my walking (learning to run) buddy too.
i let him on the treadmill first.
he goes for a little run
and then he lays on his pillow and waits for me to finish...
and of course he cuddles when i am not feeling my best.


by the end of this week i should have some answers
and i hope to be feeling much, much better soon.

still focusing...


this little chart explains it all.
i have ALWAYS known...
that all i have to do is THINK of certain foods
and i gain a pound
and being insulin resistant only makes it worse.
***
 so the good news is that
i've been making really good choices...
spinach, kale, tomatoes, red peppers,
avocado, lentil, quinoa, whole grain breads, oatmeal,
water, water, water... green tea, green tea, green tea,
cinnamon, apples, nuts, berries.....
you get it right?

the bad news is
i have had terrible sinus/neck/throat pain
for the last week...
just not feeling like myself,
haven't taken a single photo...
hopefully i'm on the mend
and back to normal...
or should i say, back to myself :)
