Summer fun

Well we have had a nice summer. Caitlynn turned 5 and we had a party at a Bounce House and then went to Disney just the of us. We also spent a night over at the Gaylord Palms resort and relaxed by the pool.

Since we bought a new house our summer plans got "changed" up a wee bit. Gone was the big trip! To me a house was more important anyway. We still enjoyed ourselves. On August 23rd Caitlynn will start School. This should be interesting for all of us.

I am excited to say that with all this excitement my diet has been pretty good. I am still having fun trying recipes and learning how to cook for myself and the family while still having taste food. It isn't as hard as it would seem. But then I am pretty much a simple cook.

5 years and counting

We celebrated the anniversary of the birth of our Daughter this week. She is 5! Which means that for the past 4.5 years I have been steadily moving forward to become a stronger, healthier and more aware individual. Why 4.5 years well..it was shortly after my daughters birth that I finally got a doctor to take me seriously and to start the process that has put me on the healthy path.

I still have some issues! Don't get me wrong but they are very minor. Next fall will be my 1 year mark for being Gluten Free...before I was Oat free, Soy free, Onion free and taking allergy tablets everyday, breathing treatments and still in and out of the doctors office.

We are still searching for the final answer for a few "outstanding" issues but for the most part all my issues can be traced back to Gluten induced illness. I've cut back the head aches, the cramps, the bloating, the breathing issues and memory problems.

I hope that as this goes on and I continue to learn what to ask, when to ask it and how often and that I can share this information and knowledge with others.
