Greetings!!! Oh how time flies, I feel like I should have more free time now that the kids are back in school however that is not the case.
Okay so I have been playing around with my PH level and seeing how by keeping it fairly level affects my overall well being. Having a chronic pain disease that shows itself like arthritis can be tricky to manage. HOWEVER, I think I have done it. Oh yes! Okay well I have only been playing around with it for about 3 weeks but the pain is honest to goodness minimal, my energy level increased, my willingness to try new things above and beyond what the doctors recommend has sky rocketed! How you ask? [or maybe you did not ask :)] I mentioned in my last post how the smoothie trend is a big thing but everyday ingredients can actually be pretty acidic to your body. So check out the last entry of my blog to get a fantastically Delicious evenly balanced smoothie.
Today we talk lunch! MMMmmmm...I just ate mine. I have really become a huge fan of locally grown or store bought organic spinach and actually crave it once I realized how amazing I felt after I ate it! But spinach alone won't fill you up so what else did I eat?? Here is my recipe for a fantabulous lunch salad..
Raw spinach
grilled boneless skinless chicken [see below for note about this]
dried cranberries
sliced almonds or pecans
dressing of choice preferable low fat
The chicken I use is actually from market day which is a school fundraising program that happens monthly at a local private school. The chicken is called chicken steaks and they are individually wrapped 4 oz chicken pieces that I thaw and grill at the beginning of the week and then use throughout the week. Makes a fantastic wrap too! You can search for your local market day at www.marketday.com also I have bought from Schwans home delivery service. The chicken is comparable but it does cost a little more. You can see if Schwans delivers in your area at www.schwans.com they offer great rewards for online purchases and they deliver to your doorstep every two weeks. Cannot beat that!
Well this is all for today, I am working on some other things for my CMT support group..OHHHH that reminds me!! Duh! September is CMT Awareness month and I encourage you to check out this site www.wearethecmta.com and check out what CMT is all about and how you can help! Even thought it is a type of Muscular Dystrophy, we don't really receive much help from the MDA. The MDA is an amazing foundation and I support it but check out the site above because that is for the specific type of MD that I have.
Have a glorious day!!
