Paleo Challenge

I need to commit to a week of clean eating, and I'm needing some accountability...so I will post all the food I eat this week Monday through Saturday on here. I usually am not a fan of accountability groups and the like, since my perfectionistic tendencies can leave me with some major guilt if I do anything less than "perfect", but I think I've made progress in that area and also I've been having a hard time commiting to Paleo/clean eating, even though I can feel it's what my body wants. So, starting with breakfast this morning, here it goes:
(I'm just going to post all the food pics in here, updating this post daily)



Monday dinner- the pizza crust and the tortilla chips were not Paleo...am I sorry? No. Our family loves to go have a picnic by the ocean, and the traditional food I make is homemade GF pizza. So I indulged and enjoyed the pizza with my family, because sometimes healthy eating is about enjoying your food and also I want to be a good example to my daughter; I don't want to have her grow up with a mama who could never eat the same meal as everyone else because of a special diet or personal choice (there's been enough of that already). I want her to see it's ok to enjoy food with people you love, and not worry about every bite you put in your mouth. That being said, I am still doing my Paleo challenge week :)

(The pancake is Paleo :) )










This is lemon curd 🍋 made by my sister in law Jessica... I've mentioned it before on here. It's not Paleo due to the sugar, but it's sitting in my fridge right and now I had to have some, because 1. Otherwise Brian will eat it all, and 2. If it goes bad I will be very upset. Seriously this stuff is so good. Perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Every time I taste it I think about paying her to make me more. No joke.










I had a handful of popcorn that I didn't take a pic of. And a spoonful of cashew butter.

This Is Going Well // DNRS review

{This is going W E L L}  Brian gave me this mug for Christmas, and it's my favorite.❤  All the work I've been doing to retrain my brain and heal my body has been going very well, and I am so excited and optimistic about the future!  I mentioned previously that I would be starting the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, (DNRS), which works with neuroplasticity based techniques to heal an impaired limbic system, which is essentially a brain injury that results from trauma and causes your brain to process and store information as if you are in a constant state of "fight or flight", or emergency response.  Trauma is relative to every individual, and there are different types of trauma; obvious things like death, war, victim of a crime, major accidents, and those sort of things are Traumas with a capital 'T'. Things like illness, chronic stress, unstable family life, negative relationships, and many others, are  traumas with a little 't'; on ...

What IEat#9

Dinner- I love making breakfast for dinner when I don't feel like cooking or have to make dinner fast. Scrambled eggs with spinach, kidney bean, bacon, and GF toast with cashew butter, honey and cinnamon. Dinner- steamed broccoli, Alexia's sweet potato fries (love that Costco has a big bag of them right now!), and beef burger patty with avocado and bacon. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner- This is what I ate during my last NAET treatment 25 hour avoidance phase. There is a different list of "safe foods" with every treatment, depending on what you're avoiding, and they recommend that you limit yourself to just two or three foods, as the more variety you consume, the more energy it takes for your body to digest and ideally you just want to let your body's energy be as unhindered as possible so you can achieve optimal results. So this time I ate sweet potato, beef roast, and white rice. Yes, I felt a little guilty for the high amount of starch, but its only ...

Fear Is A Liar

 Things have been a bit rough lately for me. You would think that at some point you would somehow get used to the rollercoaster ride of chronic illness, but it really doesn't get easier. Maybe you understand some things more, or learn to cope with symptoms, or give up on things ever going back to how they used to be, but the little comfort there is in the familiarity of "we've been here before" isn't enough to get you through it all.  I realized that maybe one reason it doesn't get easier to go through the ups and downs is because I have not lost hope. I have not stopped living the good days to their full potential. Maybe that makes the bad days hurt a little more, but if you can't embrace the good days, I think that's a sign of moving to the next level of despair.  Don't give up. As Spurgeon says, in one of my favorite devotionals, " Be full of hope! Hope forever! For God does not fail you." (July 21 evening -Morning and Evening-Sp...
