2 weeks into changing our eating habits...

Hey Everyone! I hope all is well with everyone! So its been 2 weeks into our drastic changing of eating habits, and I can report that it is going very well! My symptoms are pretty much gone! Yeah!!! My energy levels are almost back and I am losing weight quickly...(Thank God!) It has been a really good change and I have to say that it was fairly easy. I say that because I have done this particular diet change before; i just didnt have the allergy....or I didnt know I did at the time. I allow Charlie to eat whatever he wants and I am not opposed to making 2 different meals if he doesn't care for what I am making, but for the most part he has been so very supportive! I am very grateful for this.Having the support one needs to eat better in order to have better health is important. Our new adventure is making homemade toothpaste which I will be doing this weekened. Yes you read right I said "toothpaste"....Charlie and I are both fed up with the politcs of dentists and the terrible reports that come with them. We both take good care of our teeth and to go in and be told that you need another root canal or you have a bunch of cavities is so discouraging. It didnt make sense to me that we allow our bodies to heal from all kinds of cuts,bruises,sickness...but we can't heal cavities?! So I did some research and low and behold you can! Having sensitive teeth,cavities, and bleeding gums are a sign of our teeth having the mineral striped away. What we eat and drink are all part of the health of our teeth. It is true so if you dont eat alot of "good food" and you eat alot of proceesed food it destroys our enaml on our teeth. From my research by implanting mineral back into our good diet our teeth should become stronger and heal the cavities....I'll keep you informed of our process, but we both are excited to be able to strengthen our teeth and remineralize them as well. : ) Well, that is what we are up too...not much as usual just work and play. We are ounting down the days till our Honeymoon, but thats still 6 weeks away...hahaha

New Challenges that are turned Resolutions...

Greetings Everyone, As some of you may know I have been struggling with an annoying health issue. I went to a MD and they were confused by my sysmptoms, so they sent me to get a CT scan. My CT scan showed my insides were noraml; I decided instead of being sent for all kinds of blood test; to go to my nutritionist I went to back in 2008. Low and behold I have a severe allergy to gluten. I had a suspicion that it may be that but no real evidence. Well, after my appointment my suspicion has been made real. I am not scared but realived that thats all that my problem is. Starting tomorrow I am on a strict diet/cleanse to get my bad back to working health. I am blessed to have alot of friends who are in the same boat I am and so we can encourage,support, and share our ideas and problems. I am excited to receive my energy and body back. I had been wanting to go gluten free but hadn't because I didnt see the importance of it...till now...1st resolution going 100% gluten free. Our second resolution is making all of my own lotion,shampoos,laundry soup, toothpaste...etc....Charlie and I both struggle with the idea of putting chemicals into our bodies. We both are sensitive to different chemicals and so by going all organic with the lotions and stuff we will see itching,rashes,dry skin disappear. I have been doing alot of research and am excited to get started. My mom and I are huge coconut oil/butter fans. It is wonderful for you...eating wise and topically. The Bulk Herb Store has been a huge help in getting recipes and such together so we can start a cleaner living experince. I think these two resolutions are huge and I am excited to start this cleaner form of living. Not only will it help Charlie and I get healthier but by gaining these healthy habits we can help others and some day establish good cleaning living on to our children. If you need ideas,help, or support in starting in this way of living by all means get a hold of me.

Annoying blogger....

Its been awhile since I have posted...its not my fault! The blogger is giving me issues.I can't post pictures right now either, so Ill write you a lovely post so that you have an idea of what is going on in our lives. 2 weeks ago I made my way to the wonderful city of Los Angeles to see my sweet friend Katie. It was wonderful to be some place sunny and warm! We got to sit on the beach and watch the waves roll in, and its February!! Katie and Angela took me to see alot of the cool sights in L.A. I also got to see my cousin Vinny breifly. I wish I could have spent more time with him but my trip did get cut a day and a half short due to a winter storm...grr...Tis the season. hahaha Charlie is leaving next week to spend some time in Canada on a business trip. He is going farther north..hahaha...so no plae warm for him. We both are counting down the days till our honeymoon! April 14th cant get here fast enought. In the meantime, I start a new job on Monday! Yeah!! Ill be doing secertarial work in a Onocology office. I am looking forward to this. It is only part time and that works great for our schedules. Other than that we are waiting for Spring to arrive, and we know it is. The sun is rising earlier and the nights are getting longer...oh and I have a daffidol coming up!! Thats a huge sign of Spring! yeah!! Well, thats it for now..I will continue to try and figure the posting issues so you can see pictures...I promise.

My biggest annoyance...

If you ask anyone of my family members or closest friends they will tell you that dentists are the biggest thorn in my side. I take care of my teeth for the most part...I brush everyday...I floss a couple times a week...and i have a waterpic...so why is it every time And I do mean every time I go to the dentist its a huge list of bad news....you have cavities, you need your wisdom teeth pulled, you have gum dieses You need a root canal.....the list goes on and on! When you finish my appointment with "but you have a great smile"....that my friend doesnt create WARM FUZZIES!! All good feelings left at hello...sorry... So where am I going with this...im a huge advocate for your body can heal itself. It was created to fight off dieses, and yes why not tooth decay? Its a dieses And therefore should be able to be healed. I dont like to have oral surgery its not fun...and shouldnt be my only option! Today I want on a search for why our bodies cant heal our teeth...and guess what? They can! Gasp!! Tooth decay like any other dieses is caused by ?...wait for it.....poor nutrition!! Or not getting the proper nutrition for our teeth. Makes sense.., put good in.,.then your body is happy. :-) I just ordered a book called "Cure Tooth Decay:Heal and Prevent cavities with Nutrition." I am going to see if I can get a better report from the dentist...my next appointment Isnt until August so stay tuned...if it works you will know! Im excited and I cant wait to see my results.
