More Progress...

I weighed in yesterday and have lost a total of 17.6 lbs! I am only 2 1/2 pounds away from my first goal! I did finally decide what I will reward myself with when I reach my first 20 lb goal. A massage! Doesn't that sound nice! I am so excited.

My diet has changed some. I am still doing Weight Watchers and trying to keep track of points, but now with my MS diagnosis I have learned that not eating several foods will really help to reduce attacks, or relapses or episodes, whatever you want to call them.

No gluten, no legumes (including peanuts, green beans and peas), no dairy and no sugar. Yes that doesn't leave much: Lean meats, fruits, veggies (except for tomatoes, potatoes, and corn) and nuts and seeds. I will also be doing a Standard Process Cleanse soon and I am looking at Candida over growth solutions too. Lots to learn!

I have exercised everyday so far this week! I know it is only Wednesday, but that is good for me. I am told if you don't use it you loose it, so I am gonna use it! I also need 30 minutes of sunshine a day: Morning walk here I come!
