Sam wanted to go try a workout class so we went to Orange Theory together. I have always heard about it from friends and had no idea of what it entailed but was up for the challenge. I was pleasantly surprised that it seemed to incorporate most of what I am currently doing in my […]

I spent the first day of the year with my family celebrating Christmas late due to a Covid outbreak the week before. I spent the second day of the year at St. Joseph’s Hospital – Center for Breast Imaging getting a biopsy of a 1.5cm growth that had slightly changed from two years before. The […]

Over the years many people talked about the wonders of weight lifting. I complained about it. Said no way. I didn’t have anything against weight training, per say, it just seemed like a waste of time and just really hard to do. I didn’t know how to properly lift weights. I wasn’t sure how many […]

Three and a half years and I finally got a positive! On my Covid test, that is. The day our house got tented for termites. And we had moved into my Mother-in-law’s two-bedroom condo for two nights (while they were out of town luckily!) And it was our 19th wedding anniversary. I had a lovely […]

I made it to the store, searched and searched for the spice aisle, and spent forever hunting down Turmeric. Even more importantly, I hunted down the safe spice Turmeric that isn’t paired with starch or other additives. (I went with Simply Organic.) I struggled home in 75 degree weather. Let the spice sit in my […]

I follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which is a diet that was built to help people with Crohn’s and Colitis Disease. We have to use fantastical adherence in following this diet to make our stomach’s happy. The goal, of course, is to stay off the harmful medication that are used to treat those diseases, and live a […]

I wanted to give an update on my progress from my adipose stem cell replacement for Crohn’s Disease and Interstitial Cystitis. I’m going to be talking about poop, so if you don’t want to read on, please feel free to skip this! I feel better. I do. It seems incredible that I would just feel […]

Getting a stem cell procedure is so new and exciting that everyone wants to know how I’m feeling! Well, a few exciting things have happened… – I’m gaining the ability to read minds – My invisibility skills are improving – I’m working on my flying ability but I think I might need a broom… Ha […]

Well, my stem cell procedure happened and I’m still alive. Good news, right? Hee. I spent the night at my Mom’s and woke up, took a shower, and made some eggs. Usually I don’t eat until later but they wanted me to have a full stomach. I took an Ativan at 7:30 and hoped it […]

Guys, I’m a little nervous! I’m getting a stem cell treatment tomorrow. It’s the new family business so I’m taking advantage of the family discount and going for it. It’s been known to help auto-immune disease like the ones I have. While I don’t have horrible awful symptoms, they are still there and if anything […]

The drawbacks of having a chronic auto-immune disease is frequently being asked to get blood drawn. I hate it. It’s awful. I know, I know that EVERYONE hates it, no one likes needles, and its sucks for everyone. BUT. But… I haaaaate it more! It’s very odd but I have tiny parts like fingernails, teeth, […]

“Can I try those? Oh wow! I LOVE Brussels Sprouts!” said my child. Blessed with a girl that loves greens. She is still on Miralax daily though and I swear, one day, we will try grain free and see if that helps her. Don’t be jealous. I still have to hold the younger ones nose […]

I love keeping up in Feedly and seeing some of my favorite bloggers post every day. I’ve been trying to write more (which is why I’ve been posting lately) and hopefully I will keep up my posting to get me in a good place for writing more frequently. Today I saw a few posts on […]

Have you read Wheat Belly yet? It was popular a few years ago. I follow a different diet but the concept of no gluten is the same. My Mom had it and lent it to me. Actually, I’m not sure if she meant to but the book was in her car when the hubby was […]
