And tonight we say goodbye to July 2011! Tomorrow is August… sheesh!!!

Church was nice this morning !!! After the first hour, Brad sat in my class with me since my usual teaching partner was out of town. Guess what else! Brad talked to someone at church who had been given a microwave from someone who moved and didn’t want it – he asked in Brad’s class today if anyone needed one — WE DO! Yay!!! We got a nice, “new to us” microwave! We came home, Katie played and I started to prepare my LUNCH! …Except I was cooking my brown rice with too high of a temp and It didn’t cook right so I had to cook it even longer than I started with.

While waiting, I munched on a little bit of this:

My awesomesauce Kashi crackers and my new artichoke/spinach hummus! Once I had finally got the brown rice correctly cooked… I sauteed some veggies together! Combined it alll in a bowl…
Artichoke pieces, beets, onion and GREEN PEAS! I haven’t eaten peas in foreverrrrrrrr. OH and all of it was flavored with TUMERIC spice since I heard it’s good for the liver and that’s my MAIN focus! Gotta heallllllll that liver.

Katie was OVER TIRED and being super annoying… thankfully soon after that she went down for her NAP. Brad and I hung out then I did a warm water colon cleanout (yes, TMI) then went and laid in bed since I was getting sleepy. OH WOW, the nap felt SUPER awesome. I’m sooooooo thankful to be starting to take naps that “feel” good since last year, I didn’t have hardly any “refreshing” sleep thanks to all my health combo problems.

After everyone was up again, I ate some fruit then had to get started on dinner. In short, I had an idea to take a sweet potato and boil it then mix it with TRUvia, cinnamon and put it on a flatOUT wrap. IT WAS AWESOME. I tried to broil my first wrap that I had used but it got too stiff… so I took part of my sauteed veggies and put it on the fail wrap lol then just took another wrap to use for the sweet potato mix. Verdict? AWESOME. The veggie mix was asparagus, yellow squash, onion, cabbage and okra! Sweet potato and the wraps were my fav part, of course.

Brad just put Katie to bed and I’m contemplating whether I want a “dessert” or not, especially since I have some serious bloating going on right now thanks to some extra gas build up.. yes, TMI again hahaha.

I am trying to focus all my focus to healing this liver of mine. What caused such a mess up with my liver? Good question. Maybe my diet in 2009 that I had for a majority of the year that was WAY TOO HIGH in protein, way TOO LOW in carbs and could of had a little more fat to it. I’ve read that too much protein can overwork the liver and kidneys resulting in bad stuff so yeah, maybe that? Then there was the fact that I had my gallbladder taken out late that year WHILE still on that particular macro eating lifestyle… leaving me without the sac that stores the bile so a lot of people without their gallbladders have slow bile flow into the intestines. They say that If you focus your thoughts on something that can help so HEAL LIVER, HEAL !!!!!!!! I want to feel awesome again!

Anywayyyyy, Brad and I are going to watch PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2 together soon and I cannot wait. I wish I had some KASHI cereal.. I would deffo have that for dessert with almond milk. Also, I don’t want summer to come to an end…. boo!!! I do look forward to fall because it’s cooler, pretty trees… but NOT WINTER. NOT NOT NOT NOT. I do not like the cold one bit.

That’s all folks!
