Fun in the mud:)
Hey everyone:) So I found out that when you have hyperacidity you have to follow a specific diet. Well trust me that it's going to help with my weight loss. This is what I have to follow in order to be healthy.
-no coffee/alcohol -no high fat foods -eat smaller meals more often -avoid eating 2h before bed -no pop(any kind) -no chocolate or peppermint -no spicy foods(i don't like this one) -no acidic foods orange or tomato(ok if it's fresh) -no gassy foods like onions, cabbage, cauliflower, brocoli, spinach, brussel sprouts -I have to be carefull with milk because of the latic acid - no fried foods -no pickels -avoid unripe fruits -I have to eat more slowly -lots of water -I have to eat regular meals and on time
So I'm sure this is going to help with the weight loss cause I have to be carefull what I eat or I'll get sick. Oh and the nexium that the doctor gave me is working out really well. The naucea is gone and the pain isn't as bad. I still have to go for the camera down the throat thing. Just in case I have an ulcer. Since I've been having these symptoms off and on for 11 years the acid may have done some damage so I might have to have sergery(sp??) after all. But in the mean time I'm feeling a ton better. And it's so weird..I got a call the other day from the assistant director of the daycare I was working at when I got sick. They want me to come back in october for a few months to cover a leave-of absence....that may turn into a permenant position. This is awesome cause I wanted to go back when I felt better and my unemployment runs out at the end of september...what a weird coincidence!! I have to let them know by sept. 5th but I'm pretty sure I'm going to say yes. I just want to wait and see how the new diet changes affect me. I had my last taste of fast food last night and ya I dont' feel all that great today...but I think that once I stick to the "bland diet for hyperacidity" I'll start to feel loads better.
So yesterday my step-sisters, my boyfriend, and I decided to go to a place just outside of the city called cranberry flats. We parked and then we had a nice long walk down to the river. It's not too wide at that point and you're not supposed to actually swim cause of the strong undertow in the middle. So we just went out till the water was just above my knees. Boy is the current strong. We would float down the river for a little ways...just untill the water got shallow..then we would walk against the current and do it again. Boy what a work out!! Then when we were about to go...see the bank of the river is basicly mud....dry mud and really wet, slimy mud. So I looked at my one step-sister and said "we should have a mud fight!" and she agreed...but my other step-sister and my boyfriend weren't so happy about it. So her and I grabbed a handfull of mud, looked at each other, and threw it at the same time. So for about 10min we all had a huge mud fight!! It was so fun! We were covered in mud. We took pictures...I'll post them on my blog as soon as my sister gets them on facebook. Then there was the walk..which was uphill this this time. Another good workout. So today my calfs hurt soooo bad! Anyhoo it was so fun playing in the mud:) I deffinatly have to do that again!
So talk to you all later:)
