so I'm considering starting a personal blog to track a huge life change I'm making. I'm seriously changing the way I eat.
I'm eating out less, eating less meat (a LOT less) cooking at home more,and using organic products. I'm tired of feeling sick and having stomach aches all the time and I really think 90% of it is due to how I eat.
So I'm gonna track everything too, to include fast food and restaurant trips. I've downloaded several apps to help me steer clear of high fat foods. Lets see how this works.
Oh and tonight?
It was grilled cheese sandwiches with organic tomato soup and baked french fries. mmmmmmmm! the tomato soup is one I found at Sprouts. it is amazing! it comes in a box that looks like a juice box. i can't think of the brand right now...
so, dairy is staying, but actual milk is out unless needed for a cooking recipe. no more milk in my cereal. it makes my belly hurt too much in large amounts like that. I won't be giving up eggs but, in all fairness, I dont' like eggs unless they are scrambled anyway so I rarely eat them. I am, however, going to try using egg substitutes in cooking and see how that works out.
Luckily, the bf has agreed to do this with me. (but, i told him if i made something that tasted horrible, he didnt' have to suffer with me and actually eat it. He laughed.)
I've enlisted the help of one of my best homegirls, Taye to help get me on the right track. she's gonna hook me up with some recipes, suggestions and ideas.
Sorry guys, not going vegan or vegetarian, as I love steak and Chick fil A waaay too much. Just cutting down on the meat intake....a lot!!!
Actually, I haven't had any meat today at all and i'm quite proud of myself. I have a horrible migraine, but I think that's due to lack of caffeine and diet change. It too, shall pass, right??
this should be interesting...

Yep. We have to read Tom Sawyer and Little Women for this week. You know, because I don't have a bunch of other shit that has to get done.

Good luck with everything. It sounds like you have a positive attitude and that is half the battle. I hate to hear this happening to you. I had a friend that got cancer at about your same age and it was a battle but he got through it and survived. Keep us up to date, if you can.
