Fried egg, fried sweet potatoes, kale and tea
Fried eggs, and a ham, avo. mayo, Kerrygold cheese and green leaf lettuce roll-up.
More eggs, ham spinach, and GF pancakes with honey
Lovely meal outside in the sunshine 🌞 Soft fried eggs, baby potatoes and greens. And of course, a jar of tea. This one is a peach ginger tea from Pinkstork.com. it's meant as a morning sickness cure, but in general its just really good for digestion, and it's yummy.
My low carb version of Pad Thai, made with cauliflower rice instead of rice noodles.
Breakfast on a Saturday when some of my younger siblings were visiting: omelette with cheese and greens, avocado, GF toast with cinnamon and coconut oil, leftover GF cornbread and a fruit platter.
I got this jar of lemon curd from my SIL for my birthday and I threw it in the freezer since I had alot of cake to eat 😆 now it's thawed and waiting in the fridge for me anytime I want a little bite of something sweet.
Ok, so this is not food, but I wanted to document that I have started my vitamin B shots again. My recent blood work showed that I was correct in thinking my thyroid symptoms were flaring, and between my Naturopathic Dr. and NAET/NET practitioner, we have figured out a new supplement list, which includes at least three different B vitamins. Stress is a big trigger for my flare ups, and also likely the original cause, and B vitamins are essential to your body's  ability to deal with stress. Also, a large percentage of the population needs a special form of B vitamins in order for your body to use it, due to a genetic variation. Look into the difference between folic acid and folate if you're interested in doing a little research.

Dinner picnic by the bay- pulled pork (in green enchilada sauce) tacos, berries and "peeled Cheetos" as my kids call them. (Really they're the new "natural" version of white cheddar Cheetos) We don't eat them often, but they're fun for a special treat.
Paleo Crispy Waffles, used to make an amazing egg sandwich with Kerrygold cheese, soft fried eggs and a tiny drizzle of honey. So good 😋

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...
