So, last Thursday I made a decision, a long long long time in coming, to go on an elimination diet because my eczema (that I've had for my whole life) was really really bothering me. I can put up with so much, but then I decided NOW was the time to cut foods out and bite the bullet to feeling better.
So this week has been great, actually. I feel so much better. No more rash behind my knees, and my feet (which were covered) are much better. Still red and scaley, but flexible and not open sores. Hallelujah! Its beyond annoying to not even be able to wear shoes because they hurt your feet so bad. Yeah..... And I've been dealing with this for over a year now.
Basically, I'm cutting wheat, sugar, dairy, and anything that's not fresh. I'm loading up on apples, pears, chicken, brown rice, and fresh greens. Of course, that's also helped with losing more pounds too, which has been really really nice to jump start it.
Life has been busy and sick. First my hubby had some cruddy sinus stuff going on, then both my little boys have had been a little sick with runny noses, and now I don't feel the best either. My voice is almost gone right now.
So that's what's been going on! I've been super faithful with tracking all my foods and eating. I'm pretty proud of myself and feel like keeping keeping on. :)
Also, I've been able to be very faithful in reading my Bible every morning ever since my hubby got me an android phone. That little Bible app is worth way more than "free" to me. I can read while the light is off in bed, while nursing, or wherever I might be at the time. Its awesome.
