My 2Cents On More Glutenfree Food And Dining
My new favorites: Glutino Gluten Free Organic Bars (chocolate & peanut)-smaller than a "traditional" granola bar, but taste fabulous and travel well. Progresso Canned soup (low sodium chicken and wild rice)- $1.25 a can at Target with pop-off lid I don't really like creamy soups, but they have many gluten free soups, and many are LABELED gluten free! Glutino breakfast bar (reformulated) CRANBERRY. Really good. New formula is less chalky. Good to keep in car or to travel with. Good EaMy First Run Outside In Weeks
So I've already told you about my Na imbalance. I've had serious anxiety about running by myself without a partner after a few scares but I needed to do a 10 miler today and could NOT face doing it on the treadmill. Haven't ran outside in weeks and have only run over 6 2x in the past few months. Haven't ran 10 miles since mid-summer. So I knew it would be a struggle. I got everything ready including water and Jelly Beans sports supplements, gluten free runners have to use supplements soonerMaking Up For Lost Time
So I've been MIA lately! Sorry!! Last week was a busy week of working for school, teaching, and doing per diem. Didn't even have enough time to workout. Then this weekend was Scotty and my "Stay-cation" here in Boston. We got a priceline hotel for Saturday night and made the rule of "no car for the weekend". Ate at a lot of great places and was amazingly surprised by Legal Sea Food's gluten free menu. Finally tried out Nebo which was FABULOUS and at the Chart House on Sunday night theyMy Story Till (Semi)Diagnosis
I thought it would be good to explain my story to figuring out why my body was attacking me. It was started when I was young(apparently. Neither me or my family noticed anything strange until I hit 8th grade. Though recently figured out that all of my favorite foods from when I was younger were gluten free, and explained why sometimes when I was sick crackers would only make matters worse. As well as why I was constantly in the nurses office with a stomach ache(they always thought I was faking i1St Entry Of 2010- Valentine Don'Ts
Thanks so much for over 20,000 blog hits! I'm so humbled that you love my musings...or love to laugh at them...or laugh AT ME...or love to HATE me, lol. As you know, I enjoy singlehood more than the average person, so here are some of the romantic DON'Ts I've had to endure over the years from well-intentioned men (I'm recognizing their effort,really) attempting to hone their inner Don Juans: (the intention here is to amuse, but also to prevent further embarrassment and awkward moments) SapDysfunctional Thanksgiving: Quick Hit Rehash
Totally Gluten-Free turkey day again, but this time at my newly purchased house with my Major's mother and my mom&stepdad all in from Florida We did lots of fix-it stuff on my new house (bank repo) Parents woke at 4am (FL time 7am) and went to 24 hr Wal-Mart to buy me "appropriate" dishes and silverware (they said mine isn't heavy enough) for my belated birthday and early xmas gifts. My stepdad forgot to take his blood pressure meds on Tuesday (day 3)and blew his top and went MIA in tTrouble Eating Out Gluten-Free...Good or Bad?!
Since my husband is forced to be on a gluten free diet eating out has been a major issue for him. My family does a fair amount of eating out since both my husband and I work full time. At the end of day cooking a meal is the last thing on my mind. The problem for my husband is that most of his favorite restaurants have good amount of gluten dishes that he absolutely loves. Because of this eating out problem, I force myself to cook at home more often than usual and I have to constantly remind mysDr. Goldman Creates Carb-One Low Carb Gluten Free Muffins And Breads
Open Original Shared Link was established by me to produce low starch, very low sugar products which can be substituted for starch products because of the difficulty of many patients with diabetes to stay on such a diet. These new products do not raise the blood sugar levels to any significant degree. They are safe for diabetic patients to eat. All of the ingredients have been approved by me as safe for diabetic patients. All Dr. Goldman's Carb-One products contain no sugar, grains,Diabetes Mellitus And Celiac Disease 101
Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which the body is unable to utilize glucose (a simple sugar). As a result, glucose levels in the blood increase. This exposes the blood vessels and surrounding tissues to elevated levels of sugar which have a "corrosive" effect on these structures. After many years of this excess exposure to sugar, the blood vessels and tissues become irreversibly damaged which leads to the long term complications of diabetes such as blindness, kidney failure and amputationSuper Bowl (Weekend Part 2)
Ok, That entry was getting a bit long so I thought I'd continue here. We got home and I had to finish grading lab reports from last week and made a few questions for the student's exam on Thursday. Then it was time for the Super Bowl! Ok, I'll be honest...I googled, furniture surfed, craigs listed, house searched for the future, and played around more on the internet only to watch intently and shhhh Scott during the commercials. Before the game even started I put the computer down fWeekend Wrap Up
So this weekend we went skiing at mount snow with a group of people from college. There was no internet, barely any phone service, and somewhat satellite TV...it was LOVELY. Well that is except for when people were lost trying to find this house in the abyss of the woods, then it got tricky. So we all graduated back in May and it has been incredibly difficult to get everyone together for dinner nevermind a weekend of skiing, boozing, and having fun. We found the house on homeaway.com forTeaching
So today was my first ever solo lecture for the undergraduate students! It was a lot more prep work and took forever to make the slideshow. I never appreciated the work our teachers put in before! I was so excited and I would say it went well. There were definitely times in the class when people looked bored/confused/or just upset they had to sit through class. I tried not to let it throw me off but it was difficult. It's hard to stare at 12 students who aren't really engaged. I felt aBeginning Of Feb
So it's Feb already! I can't believe how quickly the time flies. We are getting ready to go up to Mt. Snow for the weekend with a big group of friends. I would say I am definitely nervous. This will be my first group weekend in a long time. Normally I manage to avoid these situations or only room with those I am closest too. My plan is cook all of my food ahead of time for the weekend so nothing needs to be prepped in the house. There will be between 12-14 of us in a 4bdrm house so theSickly Waste Of Life Part 2....Sodium Deficiency
So I've been sick on a off for a few weeks. Thought I had gotten over it until a few days ago. The cough has subsided but now getting O2 into the system is impossible as the cold moves it's way out. We finally had a weekend of no visitors, no work, no nothing except relaxing and catching up on homework (and nursing myself back to health) It has been glorious. Accomplished just about NOTHING yesterday and slept about 10 hours each night. But today I went to get my run in. Needed to get 6 mGrocery Store
Grocery shopping has historically taken me, a sufferer from self-diagnosed ADD/ADHD an excruciatingly long time. However, then I became gluten-free and wouldn't you know....it takes even longer. I used to just walk aimlessly picking whatever was on sale, looked interesting, or I had always loved. Meandering each aisle, list in hand which I was completely ignoring. I'd end up at the check out bewildered by either the cost, amount in my cart or both. Well yes, I still ignore my list, I stiYum Yums For Tonight
So I believe I have just about mastered not having to cook a gluten free meal and then a regular meal separately. We cook separate pastas for me and Scott because, well, he eats like a horse and gluten free food costs approx $2.50 more per bag of pasta than his 89 cent boxes of stop and shop brand pasta. Speaking of our budget....we are watching HGTV house hunters international and these people have a 1.5million dollar budget for their vacation home in St. John...ahhh the good life. I'm juAnother Day In The Life
So a story I forgot to tell you all yesterday... I woke up at about 5:30 in the morning sick as a dog and made the mistake of rubbing my eyes. Well, I managed to get a piece of (what I discovered later to be) fuzz stuck in there and although I have been educated (my profession) on how to properly wash out an eye I feel that repetitive blinking, rubbing, and whining will do the trick. My boyfriend rolls over, is a little taken aback, and then says why don't you just wash it out. Of course thiFirst Day Of Blogging
So I've never been good at diaries, journals, blogs, etc. I'm going to do my best here to keep you posted on the daily FML moments of my life. If anyone actually reads this bad boy please do post a reply or let me know it's not out lost in cyber space somewhere. I'm getting ready for school and today I have a cold and a stomache ache again. Not a gluten one but a normal stomach ache from my medicine not working. Waiting for it to subside made me too late to have a workout at the gym. SoOn January 9Th, 2010...
...two things occurred. One was that I went to a concert and was away from home from noon until 0030 -or, as some people prefer to call it, midnight thirty. It was a Winter Jam, the second concert of the tour. Artists like Newsong, Newsboys, and Third Day (which in my opinion was the best of all), along with many others, were playing from 6 o'clock until past 10:20, when our group decided to skip the rush and leave early.

We expected a baby to arrive around New Year's. With eight girls already far outnumbering the two boys in the family (not including parents), we were thinking it was going to be a baby girl. Exactly a week ago, my little brother popped out. The delivery was quick and easy, which Mom (and everyone else) was very thankful for ...but the little boy, who is now in possession of several nicknames, such as 'Bongo' and 'Pooky', had to be transferred to another hospital because he was having a great deFrom Mom 1- Can It Be Gluten Intolerance?
Hello everyone, I'm a new member searching for answers, information.
