This week has been pretty much like every other week. We really didn’t eat much differently than the past few weeks.
I have been busy getting ready to have James here this week to have his wisdom teeth removed and decided to go through the clothes that we have had downstairs of the kids from birth. In 4 days time I rain up and down the split level house doing 45 loads of laundry. Why is this a big deal? Thanksgiving 2012, I had a tumor removed from my hip that at first we were scared that it might be cancerous. Which thankfully God answered prayer and it wasn’t. The recovery lasted over a year and even a week ago I basically didn’t go downstairs unless I just had to. BUT the past 4 days I was able to go up and down without pain tearing me apart. Did I run? No but I was able to do it and not have to depend on everyone else!
Yes, this is a miracle! My blood pressure, blood sugar and now being able to feel like doing things again, WOW, my first goal has been met and given an extra bonus.
This weekend we decided to go to a Farmer’s Market and a store that has all sorts of flowers, fruit and veggies. It was like being in a candy shop.
For lunch today I did branch out and make something new. I made Cloud Bread and Salisbury Steak with gravy. I am enjoying learning how to change recipes so I can make them for us to eat. Not only have I fixed meals for us, but the kids are starting to enjoy some of the food, too.
Yesterday Michael came out to show me that after 13 yrs, he could wear his suit coats again. Then he started trying on slacks that he had worn in yrs. I decided to do some digging and found a dress that I hadn’t worn in 6 yrs and YES it fit!
I can’t say thank you enough to our doctor for suggesting this awesome program over medication. We have a long ways to go but in 7 weeks we have seen so much change. It makes us excited to see what is in store as we continue.
For those of you asking about what program we are on, it is called SHAPE ReClaimed. It ISN’T a diet it is a change of life forever!
Taking it one step at a time.
