“Awaken your warrior spirit now and fight like hell for your health, your future, and your life.-Dr. Stefan Ripich ND CPN and Jim Healty THE 30 DAY DIABETIC  CURE

My friend is reading this book.  We are both overweight, her husband is diabetic, and we are in the health industry so we are taking heed to what this research is showing.

I have been dealing with a bronchial condition this winter and spring.  I usually have a very strong immune system but I have not been doing the dietary things that I know work.  As a result of this ‘friend’ coming to visit my breathing system again I have discontinued sugar and processed carbohydrates (breads pastas  white rice) for 3 weeks. According to this book sugar is more destructive than cocaine.  Another scientist says that if we knew the effect sugar has on our system we would never be tempted to eat it again.  I’ll check in at the end of the 3 weeks to let  you know how it goes.

I’ll be using Ocotea oil to take care of my blood sugar levels, Common Sense to help with the emotional balancing, and Slique oil because it tastes good and will help  release the cravings that tear me down.

We are in week 3 of month 8.  Swimming stopped at the beginning of the month so I have been walking 2-3 times a week.  I also lost a couple of clients which keeps me less active.

I am working on an eating/activity program I will stick with.  I haven’t gone back wards.  I am maintaining and that  is a great thing.  By the start of next month we’ll have a structure for greater health.

What I have learned:  I don’t enjoy saying no no no no no -Solution  say yes to this and that that I like.

It is a drudge  Solution  have a can do attitude.  I believe the main thing is to respect and like my physical self enough to treat it well.

Week 1 is going well.  Swimming is consistent, low sugar is consistent (one day to indulge) I need to get a better grip on the carbs.  Success for week 1  hurray  hurray

Week2  Not too shabby.  I have to focus on no night eating this week.  Be diligent about it.  I haven’t really over eaten I just haven’t been as smart in eating as I could be.

Week 3 We have continued with the swimming 5-7 days a week.  The eating is not being reigned in like I need to to lose the next dress size.  Had a cleanse day with 2 sugar free days.

Week4  Change in the wind so I have been stuffing.  Will watch it today.  No night eating yesterday. Oh my this has got to change and I am the only  one who can do it.  Month 8 starts tomorrow.  As I review this month I can see a lot I did well.  The swimming still continues.  I am now working on my winter exercise program.  Keep the vision to succeed.

Week 1 Travel day and day 2 was rest rest rest.  Swam both days.  Back into the routine.  Low carb, sugar free, and nothing after swimming except fruit or veges. Day 3-7 Average day. Day 4 & 5 No swimming so watch the intake closer. No late night eating both days with low sugar and carbs. Looking good.  Day6& 7 Still having a challenge with the night eating.  Today was on the mark.  Here we go on day 7.  No reason to be less than successful.

Week 2 No swimming days 1 & 2. Poor performance on day 1. Greatly improved on day 2. Day3 is great. I am doing 1-2 liquids meals (LMs) every day this week. Watching the carb/gluten intake and cutting off the after 7pm eating. Noshing on a lot of celery and it is OK. Days 4-7 Some good.  Some mediocre and one poor.

Week 3 The heat is making it easier to do the LMs.  It seems all I want is ice cream and I am not a big fan of ice cream.  Interesting.  Day 1-3  Swimming, no late eating, low gluten/carb.  The one thing I am doing well is the swimming or water walking.  I wish I cared about my physical self more.  Not stuffing as much as the old days but more than I want to.  I did mediocre Days 1-6.  Day 7 we’ll see.  I did have 2 sugar free days and am doing LMs 1x a day for 3 days so like I said not wonderful but not super bad.  Ho Hum. In the dool drums.  I am getting my self into a place of respect for my physical needs and preparing menus from that perspective.  Pouring on the oils to get out of this slump.  Swim today will help.

Week 4 Has gone by with not much input.  It was a lot like week 3.  Maybe what I need to do is pig out and then get serious.  I am afraid of pigging out.  I might get sick, I might not quit, I might disappear, I might get back on track. AHCJ AHCKAHCK  I have friends that can’t remember to eat.  OK I am making the list for tomorrow.   Good breakfast, good lunch, swim, liquid meal after 6 if I want to eat.  Low sugar/low carbs.  I can do this.  I did it.

Week1 Very good 1st day. Of course not feeling 100% helped. Day 2 My biggest challenge is not eating after 7pm. No sugar 2 days in a row. I’ll have a LM (liquid meal) for a late night snack. Day 3 success again  I am liking this  Day 4 3 days sugar free  Sugar today as I had a very busy evening.  Low gluten 2 days in a row  I am liking this.   Day 5 No sugar low gluten swim  swim  swim Day6-7 I am doing ok not great

Week 2 Day 1-3 Getting in the exercise.  Eating light meals but having sugar everyday.  I am eating after swimming.  Not good tonight.  Day 4-6 I am going to be careful but I have company so am not sure what the schedule will be.  I’ll do input so we will see what I commit to.  Day 7 I do well.  Swimming for 2-3 hours which helps a lot.  The extreme temps help keep the appetite down except for wanting ice cream.

Week 3 &4 No AC in the house so eating isn’t a real problem today.  Swim like a fist tonight. Day 2-7 AC is fixed.  Should be an easy day to stay on track. Out of town.  did OK.  Busy with walking but now swimming.

This journey to health started in earnest 3 months ago.  I’ll be posting by the month now. The  successes are very limited eating after 7p.m.  This has cut out approximately 2 to 300 calories.  More LMs (liquid meals), regular cleanse days, lower gluten and sugar.

My body is going through a lot of changes so I will continue this journey until …..

The things I am tracking:  Gluten   Sugar   LM (liquid meal-no it isn’t a milk shake!) Exercise Refined Carbs  Late Snack

Day 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 Sugar Free  LM

NOTE: Days 4-12 I am out of town.  I will be able to eat properly but I am choosing not to post on a daily basis if at all.

Day8-9-10-11-12-13-14 I am back.  My professional conference went well.  I ate consciously and had low sugar when I had sugar.    13-High sugar day.  I seldom do buffets and we did one today.  I only took 2 bites of the desserts I chose as they weren’t worth the calories.  I am staying away from the buffets.  I just don’t want to have that much control.  14-LM  Low sugar  Gluten free

Day 15-16-17-18-19-20-21 15-Show day Exercise day/Balanced 16-Exercise day/High Sugar 17-Exercise Day/Balanced/Low sugar/Long Long Day 18-Very active day/Low sugar/Balanced/ ?Balanced means low carbs,sugar and gluten. Life is busy but the eating is pretty much in balance. I am pleased and grateful. My biggest challenge is to continue this journal. I know I must continue because it is the journalling that keeps me aware so that I make better choices. My next step in this journey is to put to practice what we learned about weight and the role the adrenals play. 19 This will be a challenging day but I am up to it.  Kept on track. 20 Doing good.   Chugging right along.  21 What a day.  I went shopping and….I am now a size smaller!!!!  The dresses I bought look sooooo smart and now I need new shoes of course.  The food wasn’t my best day but I was very active all day with the shopping and swimming.

Comments onkeeping a journal:  I have been told for years to journal my food intake.  When you journal about a behavior your conscious brain is awake and talking to you about that behavior.  In this case it talks to me about my food choices.

I now realize that I started this public journal about me and food because I was really committed to changing my behavior. I have at least 2 dress sizes to lose and then we will see what needs to be done.  Looking and feeling good is so much better than eating something that tastes good.  I of course can always have ‘that something’ tomorrow.

Week4+2 days  Days 22-30 22 What a potluck/block party.  Had my major meal before I went so only nibbled on the yummies and danced it off. 23 We are going out for dinner so I have to decide right now what I am going to have.t 24 25 26 These were some mediocre days.  I have to rein in the night time eating again.  Do I get lax with the journal because I want to eat or do I eat because I am lax with the journal??    The answer is BOTH. 27I will have low sugar, low carbs, no eating after 7 pm.  OK That shoud set the tone for the day. What a long day.  Did mediocre.  28 No committment here.  Lots of swimming so that took care of somel of the extra.  29We won’t discuss the downside here.  I did have a LM and very little eating after swimming.  30 I will have my morning LM, no sugar, low gluten and good to g0. success.

Day1  I am on the road eating balanced.  There will be cake today.  Celebrating a 90th birthday.  Walking today

Day2 On the road eating balanced.  Swimming and walking  Sugar Free My cousin shared her experience with gluten free, dairy free, meat free eating.  She looks great.  She is feeling 10 yrs. younger and dropped 15#!  The book that helped was China Syndrome.  Worth checking out.

I found a site humoretc.com that has interesting facts on it.  They have a fact sheet on Coke. To quote them; The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.

I am so glad that I am not a soda drinker.  What makes Coke a double whammy is the sugar.  A research scientist I respect told me that if we understood what white sugar does to our systems we would have no problem giving it up.  I have cut way back on my sugar intake and maybe one day I will be completely sugar free.  Miracles can happen.
