Today I'm starting my second Reboot. After returning from my trip I felt like I needed to reset again to get myself back on the veggie bandwagon. I got back into the meat eating mode while I was gone and it continued when I returned to the point where I was finding myself eating less and less … [Read more...]
Diet and Nutrition for Fibromyalgia
Diet and nutrition have become primary ways that I've improved fibromyalgia symptoms. I've learned that controlling what I eat and put in my body has a direct effect on how I feel. Cutting out gluten and grains, and juicing on a daily basis has greatly improved the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
Juicing Versus Blending
Last week, I was at CostCo picking up some produce I saw that they were having a special event showcasing the Vita-Mix blender. I was curious so I stopped to check it out. Initially, I wasn't very convinced as the guy came off full of sales-pitch, telling me things that my juicer won't do...when I … [Read more...]

Food Sensitivity Testing
I got the results back from the food allergy/sensitivity test that I had done a few weeks ago and ...go figure... very little showed up. The sensitivity scale goes up 6 notches and I barely fall into the first level for dairy, whey, whole wheat & eggs. I think whey was probably the highest of … [Read more...]

Juicing Day 5 (No Problem!)
On the 5th Day of Juicing.... I woke up super early, thanks to some mice that have taken up residence right above my bedroom ceiling. I didn't actually get out of bed though until close to my usual time, when I fixed up another "green smoothie". I didn't follow a recipe really and just threw some … [Read more...]
Juicing Day 4 (It’s Getting Easier)
I think I made it through the hardest part and even that wasn't bad. I'm still feeling really good and at this point it seems almost easy. Making it two more days shouldn't be any big deal. I had to go and look up What to Expect When You Juice Fast. Even though I'd read it before I just wanted to … [Read more...]

However, Day 3 I began my second glass of juice within two hours of my first. I also woke up with a headache. I … [Read more...]
