I'm Free to Choose...

I was having an issue this morning about deleting a friend on Facebook. Can you believe that? For about five good minutes, I was worrying about whether or not to delete someone I didn't want appearing in MY Facebook stream.

I'm re-reading "You Can Heal Your Life" and I'm on Chapter 3 so this popped out at me immediately as an opportunity to do a mental clean-up of one of the rooms in my "house" called "seeking other people's approval."

At the end of the day, I affirmed "I love and approve of myself" about a zillion times and deleted that friend.

What's the lesson?

The power is always in the present moment. I choose... always...

Day 2 of Gluten, Wheat, Dairy & Sugar Free!

It's Day 2 of no gluten, wheat, dairy and sugar. Who knew salad dressing had high fructose corn syrup in it? Needless to say, I got a crash course yesterday in making homemade salad dressing.

Yesterday was full of sleep and headaches... and not in that order but today I woke up REALLY thirsty with a slight headache. I downed 26 oz of water (I'm on my second 26 oz of water) and had a great breakfast and I feel good.

I still have a slight headache but I'm getting used to this... Now let's see when the energy surge happens. Yes, it's only Day 2. Am I impatient? Just a little:)

I'm Doing a Little Experiment on Myself

I had a profound conversation on Friday that changed my entire perspective on sugar, wheat, gluten, and dairy. I followed that up with some internet research and it would seem that sugar is EVIL for your body.

So, I'm going to conduct a 3 week experiment on myself. I've never known myself to be allergic to wheat or gluten but what happens if I completely take it out of my diet for 3 weeks? Hmmm... Will I have more energy? Will getting fit present an easier fit? I'm going to find out.

What happens if I take out sugar 100% (other than what's in the fruits and veggies)? Hmm... I've done it before but let's see how I feel now (especially with the coffee gone- sob, sob!).

So it's Day 1 of NO wheat, gluten, dairy, sugar, and, oh yeah, coffee and I'm feeling kinda light headed, kinda wierd. I'm not sure if it's a good wierd or a bad wierd but I'm missing the coffee and I'm missing the sugar big time. The wheat and gluten, not so much. So... hmmm... let's see where my body takes this.
