So I started my healthy journey first of I went to a naturopath and we came up with a health plan to get me back to feeling good. It is totally doable she also added some natural supplements to help me through it all. I am eating lots of steamed veggies but I'm limited like no greens or and lots of grains like quinoa, barley, millet (I thought it was bird food), brown rice etc. and oats. All of it sounds a lot healthier than what I've been doing though so I'm giving it my best. I am also drinking about a gallon of water a day with a fresh squeezed lemon yum and have cut back on coffee from 8 cups to 4!! That's big for me!! 😳😳. My energy level is still about the same maybe it's the thyroid or Lyme disease that usually keeps me down though but I do get bursts of energy lately and that is good my friends!
My kids are being so helpful and making sure I stay on track too!! They remind me to drink water actually we all are drinking more water and to not eat their snacks that they've left over lol. I hate wasting food but I hate being unhealthy more.
I want to say it's been a big struggle but it hasn't been too bad. Now it has been a BIG adjustment but change is good especially if we are headed to a better place! I also have an awesome friend who is very crunchy she has been super amazing (thanks Elizabeth you are the bomb 💣) at helping me out and answering so many of my questions. I mean I didn't even know what some of those grains were and she has explained and even told me how easy some are to cook!
Totally getting crazy on this journey but I'm praying for just a bit more energy so I can work it out at the gym or at least take long walks... walking is good right?... I do love walking it gives me time to talk and work things out with God and that is always good!!
