But today is, or was, the day I was going to start my candida (no gluten, no dairy, no sugar) diet. I say was because I have decided over some research and advice from a few people to not go hardcore into this diet right away. It can be a shock to the system so to speak and since I am not 100% sure what all is going on with my body, I don't want to accidentally release other toxins by trying to get rid of these certain ones. However it still is the day I make a change.
This is a quote the yoga studio I occasionally go to, Studio 8, had on their facebook page a couple days ago and it very much resonated with me! Check out Studio 8 here! I do plan on going more...at least a couple times a week starting this coming week! In my last blog, "Past, Present, Future", found here, stated that July 5th is a very important day for me. My friend Jordin definitely lived by this motto "Wherever you are, be all there". I could say lots about this quote, but for a minute let it just speak to you...
So over the past week I have been in touch with someone who interestingly enough know both someone who has had major issues with candida AND someone who has had dermatographism! I have never been able to talk to someone who has experienced the same "weird" issues I have, an I will be meeting with her on Tuesday to discuss how to let the body heal itself naturally. I have also gotten into learning a lot about essential oils and their great benefits on our health...look for a blog post later on essential oils when I learn more about them :)
I have been gone all week at Model Schools Conference in DC, and it was so much fun! I learned all sorts of ideas to put into practice in my own classroom to get students more engaged and ready for the real world. With being so busy on this trip I learned how important good foods, vegetables and fruits, are to your diet. My meals contained very few fruits and veggies and my body could tell! So let me spend the last of this blog sharing the items that I will be eating today to reverse...items from my OWN garden! :)
Look at all those tomatoes growing!
Lettuce, carrots, broccoli, and green beans! What a lovely assortment!
I have learned a lot from gardening this year, what to grow more of, what to try differently, what to not grow next year...
All you gardeners or garden lovers, what are your suggestion of things to grow, or tips to growing delicious foods? Comment below :)
