1st of all I want to start by saying that I am
sorry that I have missed the last two weeks of menu planning. With Princess off for the summer I have been
trying to rearrange my schedule. I am
working on trying to find a happy medium, so that I can do everything I need to
do. So far our summer has just been mad
chaos, which has caused me to not have enough time to work on my blog. Hopefully in the next few weeks here I will have
ironed out all the kinks and be able to get back to posting regularly.
Now on
to my diet update. So far on TheVirgin
diet, which for those of you who do not know what this is, it is an elimination
diet. Anyway back to my point, so far I have lost
15 lbs in 3 weeks. I have been learning
a lot from this diet. For example before
this diet I did not realize how much stuff corn and soy hide in. I now know they are in a lot of what I was
eating and I also know that I am almost positive that I have intolerances to
both.
This
diet is not easy by any means. Especially
when you have to have food you cannot eat in the house for the rest of your
family. It takes a lot of will
power. You have to really want to
improve your health to do this diet. For
me, my health was the whole reason for doing this. I had been suffering from stomach issues
since I was a teenager. Maybe even
before that. Through the years I have
had pretty much every test possible run on my digestive tract. I have been diagnosed with countless
things. But shortly after every diagnosis
the symptoms have always come back, sometimes with extra symptoms with
them. I had come to a point where I had
just accepted this as just part of my life.
Just something I had to deal with.
Then one day I was researching the internet and came across information
about food intolerances. I started
talking to my mom about it and she found JJ Virgins page here. She got the book and started talking about
it. I knew it sounded like something I
needed to try, but was not sure I wanted to spend the money. In the meantime my mom started the diet. Once I saw the changes that were taking place
with here I knew for sure that I was going to give it a try. So I bought JJ Virgin’s book, read it and
went and bought the supplies for the diet.
I have to say it really has been amazing I have had more energy than I
have had in years. (And I do not even
get to sleep through the night thanks to little man.) My skin is clearer. And the best part I have not had any stomach
problems in 3 weeks. This was something
I had been dealing with prior to the diet on a daily basis.
Now I have had to restart the diet twice, and am going to have to
restart it for the 3rd time on Monday. But I know with a little perseverance I will
figure out what all had been causing my problems. And for me that is an amazing thing. To be able to know that I may not have to
deal with my issues that I thought were just a part of my life. If any of this sounds like something you have
experienced or if you just want to know more please feel free to check out JJ
Virgin’s page here.
