~I am trying to get my body back to waking up early, not sleeping in etc...So Jason got the trio ready and took all of them to daycare but brought Scarlett home as it was her daddy/daughter day. We all headed to the gym as I was given the green light for light walking and light weights. It felt AMAZING to be doing something again other than sitting on my butt trying to choke down these medications. I walked for 35 minutes at a moderate pace, heart rate stayed up for most of it, and I walked a distance of 1.75 miles. Then did some arms, back, triceps and the ole' butt workouts on the machines. Worked out lightly and felt great coming home, we had dinner planned. Lentils, with a little onion and garlic simmered away for hours and they were so good! I ate mine with some gluten free corn tortillas and I must say I love this new diet/life. I really need to think of it as a new LIFE or LIFESTYLE and NOT DIET. To me diet means short lived or something along those lines, this means my life, my health and my existance because I never want to be sick like that again. NEVER! So I have been cautious, do not eat out, and am keeping it simple...I have been reading tons of Gluten blogs and getting informed via those, via other people locally, and books, books, books! There really is so much information out there, it is quite amazing. We got home from our gym time, Scarlett went down for a nap, and Jason and I did some relaxing as well. This is where the day went down hill...Scarlett was playing with Jason and scratched his eye on accident, so the poor guy is currently at Urgent care because it is so swollen and in awful pain. It looks like she bopped him a good one and you can see the scratch straight across the white part of his eye all the way to near the iris. I pray it is something that will not take much to heal, but we will see what the Dr says. :-(
Finally tomorrow we will make some major decisions on the yard, etc..Cannot wait! We got our tax return and are ready to make the moves forward. Jason leaves a week from today, seems surreal really...The kids have become so attached to him, they want him more than me which is ok and I expect and want...I just wish our little family of 5 could stay together because I am far from healed sadly but we are working toward the goal of getting him home sooner and staying in Colorado Springs so we do not have to move anytime soon! Fingers and toes crossed everyone, I need no more stress in my life! Otherwise today was a good day, more Dr appointments tomorrow to see how the ole' gut is healing...It still hurts alot and feels not so great but I figure I did alot of damage to it for years and years eating Gluten and now that I know I have Celiac disease I can make the proper moves and steps to a better lifestyle. I tend to hate waiting on anything, when I buy something online I pay extra for shipping, if I am wanting a certain food let's say I go and get it! So for me to "wait" this out is hard but getting better with each breath.
~Love and blessings~
