fasting...exercise....ice cream...

Amber -

I don't " fast " when I'm nursing . . . . one reason I haven't done the flush

was BECAUSE of the " fasting " - you know drinking only apple juice or

whatever for 24 or 48 hours, and then laying on my side for awhile, being

out of commission, I can't remember exactly now.

Also - I agree with the exercising . . . . my favorite and most successful

(for a short time) was yoga. I'm trying to get motivated to get into a

routine in my home - if you saw my home you would understand the dilemma.

Last year I got a bicycle - I think that will be the answer for me

ultimately as I can escape kiddos - or bring some along - every day a little

at a time. Most of the time, aside from it being winter, I am SOOO energy

drained that it is so hard. And now I am so sick - I just got up from a nap,

I can't seem to shake some stupid chest infection of some sort.

About ice-cream, whoever it was who brought that up (sorry I'm a bit

feverish): I used to be a binger. Sometimes it was Ben & Jerry's and

sometimes it was Pepperidge Farm Double Chocolate Milanos and once in awhile

some other treat. I absolutely do not do any of that anymore. However, I

will enjoy some when I like - which is rarely now. In fact, it was after a

lengthy Milanos binge that I had my first gallbladder attacks - I didn't

know what was going on at the time, but, in my case I really think there is

some connection with the pancreas and something with enzymes . . . . . . too

much sugar . .. . . . . anyway I feel ok now to cheat once in awhile - and

have not had any problems afterward.

Yoga is excellent and can be both enjoyable and relaxing. Nothing wrong with

" cheating " once in awhile. Life is to be enjoyed.
