Eating Meats 2008-03-15 17:20:00 I haven't had red meat in weeks except for the time I took a BITE of my husband's burger lol. I wanted to clear something up, in case someone got confused and jumped to conclusions about my reason for not eating red meat.
It is NOT because animal products are bad for you.......God gave us them for food! He evens warns us in the New Testament of those that try to tell us to "abstain from meats
Boot Camp; Week 2 Weigh-In 2008-03-17 16:52:00 This week I maintained. I didn't expect much being on the couch most of the week with no exercise lol. However, I slept for 20 hours (yep you read that right lol)....20 hours on Sunday! I guess my body really needed some sleep ha. I feel better and planning a workout today.

How I'm Doing..... 2008-03-19 22:57:00 A few have asked how I'm doing the past week, so I figured I would just post about it. My sleep is WAY off now and that will hopefully be fixed after my sleep study is done and they figure out why I have the different sleep problems, such as:
Having trouble falling asleepOnce asleep, waking about 10 times a night
My numerous night awakenings involve a seizure like shaking of my body and then I

Starting Over Again! 2008-03-22 16:24:00 I did great my first week of my "Boot Camp" but then my medical problems caused some pain and thus I was on the couch for about a week and now I just want a fresh start again this coming week, so I'm re-starting my Boot Camp! I will change the dates to reflect this next week as my 1st week and then will change the date at the end of 12 weeks from this next week.

This is GREAT!!!!!! 2008-03-29 16:14:00 My appetite is so low from the new drug! I can barely eat and this really is a good thing for me lol. ;) It was supposed to increase your appetite and cause weight gain in most that took the drug but I prayed for the opposite effect to help me in losing weight and well God has answered prayers lately to help me!
The only bad side effect with the drug is constant all day neuropathy in my left
I Can Eat Red Meat AGAIN!!!!!!! 2008-03-29 00:46:00 I had prayed and asked God to heal whatever it was in my body that was not allowing me to digest the red meat and causing all the gastrointestinal distress I received eating it over the years. Well......I ate a Cheeseburger on Tuesday and had no ill effects! It felt wonderful and tasted so good too!! ; ) PRAISALUJAH!
