Gluten Free Me!

       Lately I have been trying a new diet.  A diet that has really helped me in the last few months.  It is really popular so I decided to give the gluten free diet a try.  At first there was no concern for me being allergic to gluten, but I thought that it was not a bad choice to include a more healthy diet. For me there is no substitute for home made bread, well any kind of bread is so delicious so it was difficult for me to give up, but it is definitely worth the effort. I have been getting compliments on how clear my face has been, my fatigue has lessened and I feel so much better during the day.
      I do not write this article because it is popular topic, I write this post because cutting down on my gluten has really been a help to me and I want to encourage others to try the diet as well.  My syndrome effects my learning process and I believe that the diet has helped clear my brain fog a little. Now it is no miracle diet by any means, but my overall health has improved and am very thankful for that.  It disturbs me however, that, no one ever linked my food habits to my learning or my acne.  I am thankful for the medication that I received but knowing about this diet earlier could have cut down on alot of the redness on my face. At least I know now how to keep my face clear and will try to be doing that in the future.
       Gluten effects people in different ways.  There are some people who can not even eat gluten free products that were cooked in the same pot as regular wheat.  Then there are some people who can tolerate a certain amount of bread without suffering painful consequences.  I am allergic to bread but am able to eat it without going to the hospital.  Only some stomach pains and a few acne, to which I am thankful.  I hope I can encourage someone else to try and eat a healthier diet by writing this post. t
       Lots of people may not believe that I am intolerant to wheat because I have eaten it all my life, but we did not realize how gluten was effecting my health as a whole.  I love my bread and and feel very blessed that I can tolerate some because that food item has always been a part of my meal.  However with the positive results I am getting from not eating bread quite so often.  I am learning how to fry foods with gluten free flour and hope to continue cooking like that.
        Hope this blog post has helped you understand how I have dealt with changing my diet, it has been a difficult path to follow but am pleased with the results I am receiving.  Nothing will ever change the taste of regular bread or instant oatmeal.  Nothing will ever change the taste of a nice fast food hamburger.  I am still able to eat them, but am conscious about how many I eat.  I try to only eat those foods as a reward for eating healthy. Again, this diet has really helped me and feel blessed to be able to write this article.

Review Time!

I love getting products like these in exchange for an honest review!!! I just got a new iphone6s and these cords work perfectly.  As you see, I received three lightning cables in the mail to charge my iPhone 6s. I am going to leave one in my car and one near my wall charger. I am going to give the other cable to my mom as she has an iPhone 6 Plus.  These cables are great and worth the money because there are not just one but three cords included in the package. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U0Q0IP6

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!  

Terrific Tuesday

I try to do these blog posts in as much real time as possible. Sometimes it may not be possible. I am trying to figure out a good way to schedule my posts on a weekly basis because bloggers scheduled posts won't ccooperate. If you know of any good ones, let me know! Psalm 38King James Version (KJV) 38 O Lord, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. 4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. 6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
