How I Stay Fit

I don't drink coffee, eat fattening things like cheesecake/creme brulee, fast food, or much red meat. But I DO claim sugar as my vice. After 10 years of teaching, I'm the same size, and colleagues often ask me how I do it. Here are some ideas as well as Things I do to trim down for bikini season (my summer clothes are a size smaller than my winter ones- it's a midwestern thing, we're very season-oriented):   Make sure you're only eating until you're NOT HUNGRY anymore, then GET UP (I feel

I started this blog for something to do. Basically to keep my mind from sitting around drooling. I work for a large technology company, I'd mention the company name, but that would violate the agreement I clicked on when I started this blog. Besides I can't really defame them if I don't name them.   Did I mention I hate this company that I've worked at for 28 years. That might sound odd, but it is true. It's a scumbag company that would suck the life out of you and throw your empty h

Surgery Update

So I am going for a CT SCAN on Sunday.....Sunday? of a long weekend... Well I never It apparently is better than the ultrasound I was supposed to be setup for. Never had one before so it should be interesting.   I have another issue going on in my life, a pretty big one - which may take time to work through! There was an incident where my father is buried and it's pretty creepy and extremely upsetting, needless to say I'm not having much luck being "good" with my diet. I'm trying, but t

Sea Fare

Hola! Back from Mexico! 10 teachers + 1 ship + tequila - kids = GOOD TIMES! Twas a nice first 4 days of the 2 week spring break! Carnival had a MANAGER come to my table the first night and explain what I could eat for the first two dinners. She said they'd make me special desserts... but much to my disappointment they didn't the first night...miscommunication between the waiters and the kitchen??? who knows. YES it was PAINFUL watching all 9 of my shipmates relish their chocolate souffle

Gotta Have More Surgery... :(

So I went to the doctors/surgeon's office today...and I have to have surgery to repair an insitional hernia I got when I had the last surgery to remove part of my bowel. which came about in the first place when they discovered I had celiac disease... the irony of it all... Now keep in mind, I have been sick and undiagnosed for 20 years, so imagine...if they caught it earlier all this crap now would have been avoided....OMG I'm furious!!!!!   And since my last surgery I haven't really hea

March 27, 2007 Feeling Good!

Even though the weather is changing with a rain storm coming in, I'm feeling really good! My joints don't hurt at all and I feel energetic, and this is a day after my mtx!! I would like to get all the pasta out of the house but hubby likes it. It's not really fair to deny him just because I can't have it. I feel like I'm losing a little weight but my scale is unavailable at the moment. The one thing i hate though is i have prednisone waist. I always had a smaller waist but it's really u

March 25, 2007 The Full Monty Is Over :(

I am soooo tired. It's been 2 solid months of driving 160 miles every day. The play was great but everyone involved is exhausted. Now we have to get thru Much Ado About Nothing and THEN we rest!   Tomorrow I don't have to go anywhere!!!   The last few days I've had some problems with breathing. I felt like I do when I am around peanut dust or other peanut products. I then realized my wheat problem is the cause. I'd had two bites of pizza at a cast part Friday night and I could have swo

It's Been 4 Days And I Haven't Cheated!

I am very pleased with myself, it's been 4 days and I haven't cheated! Don't get me wrong, I haven't learned to cook or anything simple like that! But I've been working and I never really had the chance to cheat, BUT I didn't cheat cause I managed to eat only 1 meal a day! It was always dinner and even though it was pretty much the same thing twice chicken and potatoes and veggies for 2 dinners and fish potatoes and veggies for the other 2.... But at least it's a start on not cheatin

Undiagnosed,help

I am 39 years old and until about 5 years ago enjoyed perfect health. In the last 5 years I have been diagnosed with gastro issues galore, chronic psoriasis (never goes away although treated with steroids and creams and antibiotics) and worst of all, hearing loss. The hearing loss is profound in both ears, and I am scheduled for cochlear implantation next month. Although these are only a few of my issues, not including the fatigue all my doctors agree it suggests auto immune issues. My husba

A Never Ending Saga!

Everyday it's the same battle - "what do I or don't I" eat? I don't want to sound like a wimp or anything but this sucks! 3 years and I can't figure it out! I have alot more information available to me now but it's got to be simple I can't say that enough! I don't want to make 3 course meals with fancy schmancey food and sauces. I want a fast great tasting meal at least 4 times a week, rest of the time I don't care - there is always fish - or eggs...but summer is coming and time for the

Let Us Watch Well Our Beginnings, And Results Will Manage Themselves.

Salutations,   By way of introduction I am a late (ever later) 20 something, gothique - like, over opinionated, liberal voting, chthonic, libertine female from the west middle lands of Englandshire.   In my old age, I am beginning to fit far too well the terribly Victorian image of the domesticated aging spinster that I have mocked will be my future.   I was given a Celiac diagnosis about 6 years ago, but promptly ignored it. I was young, I was at university, I was having lots of other

Too Much Info!

After re-reading my posts I can see I definetly need help...so I went on a little search - that turned into a big search and confused the hell out of me! I thought I knew nothing before - I am now convinced of it! There are words I have never even heard of, words I cannot pronounce..... :eek: I had a guest come into the motel where I work and she told me she has a daughter that is Celiac. She had some great cookie recipes - but again - I can't cook! So she made them for me and left them at th

Wanna Have Your Baby

A man shouted, "Andy, I wanna have your baby!" at the Indian Wells quarterfinal where I was watching (with my tongue hanging out, lustingly) Andy Roddick beat Ljubicic in two sets with two tiebreaks in 80 degree evening weather with a nice breeze. Loved. It. Afterwards, in the perfect finale to this starry evening, I retracted the top in the Benz (MB is the tournament sponsor that gave me the ticket discount) and smelled my FAVORITE scent ever on the way home-- ORANGE BLOSSOMS!!

I Can't Stop!

I would rather starve for 2 days than eat some of the stuff I can cook I am sooooo sick of rice - I haven't made it right yet! I can go for a couple of days when my willpower is in gear, I won't cheat, I'll just wait till I'm finally hungry enough and I'll make fish and veggies and of course RICE!   But when I have brain fog and I just don't care, I'll break down and eat a burger or something...I figure I'll pay for it later - I do ... but at the time it seems worth it! and then of cou

Am I The Only One?

How come everyone seems to know so much about this disease? Is it cause you have the handbooks? Go to the meetings? Know how to cook? Are the handbooks that big of a deal? Sheesh for the life of me I can't figure this stuff out...it seems unless it's in simple step by step instructions - I can't seem to comprehend it I don't mean things like you can use this product or that product - what I need is ready to prepare meals - kinda like the way I have them on my website (www.theceliac.com) under

The Proof Is In The Stuffing

This is harder than I thought it would be....and I don't mean going Gluten Free, either! I just spent the last 40 minutes trying to figure out the settings for this website! Sad, but true.   Anyway, I've always got something to say. As I sit here, with my gut on fire 'cause I used some idiot-premade-sauce for my rice crust pizza. It didn't say gluten free, but I didn't see any warning ingredients, so I went for it. {{sigh}} Another lesson learned, I suppose.   I have known I couldn't

It's Amazing!

Isin't it just amazing how people around you have absolutely no clue as to what it's like to be gluten-free! Everybody wants to go out and get "pizza" or "burgers", even after repeatedly telling them about being celiac. The worst....a family member....living with a person who watched what you went through for 20 years, and now on the road to recovery - a total 360 life change - and they still ask "WHAT DO YOU WANT ON YOUR PIZZA"? OMG - come on! This is hard enough...help me out!

Republican Dinners

My husband and I went to our first ever Republican Party dinner. It's not really my "thang", but we needed to go because my husband is considering running for Congress in 2008. We needed to do a "meet and greet".   Anyway, we had specified ahead of time that I needed a gluten-free meal. The person my husband talked to on the phone told us that one gluten-free meal had already been requested for someone else, so it would be no problem for me to have one, too. So when we found our table (the

Eggcellent! Egg Drop

Some of us have never gotten around to getting that book about gluten free restaurant eating, but I'm aware that Pad Thai is naturally Gluten-Free(people on this board rave about it). So, I finally tried it yesterday at this CHEAP restaurant (all lunch plates $4). It was spicy and delectable! The whole dining experience was nice--ordering without having to specify anything (except, I did make clear that I'm allergic to soy sauce). Funny, I noticed everyone oogling MY plate, for a change!

After being gone all weekend for work, a romantic interest of mine came over, showered me with affection, told me how much he missed me, sang love songs to me, and gave me a gift bag with a little shirt that recommends misbehavior, and two giant Godiva chocolate-covered strawberries, one dark and one milk chocolate since he forgot which kind I could have. Well, how do I tell him that if it's Godiva, I can't have it at all??!!! Eventually I alluded to that and told him to eat them, but he refuse

Should've Trusted My Gut

Enjoyed a cool techno teacher conference in Palm Springs this weekend. Yes, I was hungry and annoyed after eating a bunless burger and NONE of the divinely greasy and thick onion rings my compadres ordered at lunch. (red meat still isn't a treat for me, it's merely tolerable.) At night I Dined on the lovely, warm patio in a Tex-Mex restaurant. Palm Springs has a large gay community, so it was noticeable that all of the waiters we had all weekend seemed very effeminate (sp?). Well, when I asked

      Well how about that!

      John Scott pointed me to Wiki entry about the effect of diet on hookworm egg production: https://www.helminthictherapywiki.org/wiki/NA_incubation:_very_detailed_method_by_Alana#Promotion_of_egg_viability_by_dietary_manipulation

      Nothing presently in my diet was mentioned in the article, but it does bring up the obvious point that my diet would naturally affect the health and wellness of the hookworms that live in my gut. Something to think about.

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      Yes, there are several gluten-free certifications out there (one is the GFCO), and the usual standard they claim is 10ppm, however, recent findings indicate that even the GFCO's higher standards may not ensure that foods they certify are gluten-free:
