There is something I’m eating that is still giving me
difficulty. Staying off the wheat is
great and even seems to be improving my mood (perhaps my imagination?).
I thought I was doing really well and even made a
vegetable soup that I was eating for lunch this week, for days when I was at
home. And although my belly is getting
smaller (doesn’t stick out as much), I’m not losing much weight. So, I have much more effort to put in.
I actually started last week’s blog, but got distracted
by getting my taxes done. I am now
finished that (yay!) and submitted them online, so am even getting a refund
(double yay!).
I continued on the wheat belly diet, however, I did
indulge at my mother-in-law’s birthday dinner last evening. There was a delicious lasagne and cake, of course,
and I indulged in both. Suffice it to
say that I am feeling crappy today and have some damage control to do. Back on track and, apparently, need to cut
some more calories to not only feel better, but get some of the weight off.
I am working on strengthening my legs and upper
body. I know that my MS gets a bit worse
every year and yet after the diagnosis 21 years ago, the good Lord has still
blessed me with being able to be upright every day, at least so far. I know that won’t last forever, so I need to
strengthen my upper body to be able to get me in and out of a wheelchair, for
when that time comes. Getting the weight
off and keeping it off will also help immensely! I still work on strengthening my legs too,
because for as long as they still hold me up, I must be kind to them!
Work still frustrates me and exhausts me, however, since
God doesn’t seem to be sending me a lottery win, I guess the message is ‘hang
in there—you can do it!’ and so I soldier on................
Not to worry, as long as I get to work from home as much
as possible, I’ll manage. I do have to
admit that work has been very flexible about that. I am truly very blessed all around!
