So, as most of you are aware, I have been sick with some weird stomach thing that no one can seem to find. I went to a specialist today and am scheduled for more tests. I hate tests!! I think I hate medical tests more than Algebra tests! (I always thought nothing was worse than an Algebra test!)
I have also been very diligent about keeping my food log. That has also had an unexpected benefit. Whenever someone asks me what I have been eating, I just hand over the food log! I even marked what meals stayed down and which ones didn't!
Here is the upside. Last week I lost 10 pounds!!! Yea! Being so sick is not all bad! Although there are other ways that I would rather lose the weight.
While I have been laid up, I have been trying to be as productive as I can. I have been doing some more research on my favorite topic, diet and nutrition. I have found some really interesting documentaries. Two in particular stand out.
Forks over Knives really has me psyched. It is about the careers of the two men who did the China Study. That is the book that really got me excited about pursuing Diet and nutrition as a career! This video is just as fascinating as the the China Study!
Wonderful hubby watched it with me last night and for lunch today he had a salad!!! Yea hubby!!! Hehehe . . . another convert for me!!
The other video is about a gentleman from Australia who goes on a juice fast. It is called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead . This one is a little more controversial, but I think it is interesting. I am going to be doing some more research on this topic. I found this one totally enjoyable and quite funny! Mr. Cross has a way of getting a serious point across with wit and laughter. I like that!
As much as I am enjoying this research and what-not, I am TIRED OF FEELING HORRIBLE ALL THE TIME!!!! I just want them to fix me!!!
Check out the videos!!
