Way back when, in January of this year, I went out to dinner with my husband for my last big meal. I had onion rings and dark beer and pasta? and chocolate cake with raspberry sauce. It was gluttony at its best.The next day, I woke up and entered my self-created prison of eating restrictions and mandatory 20 minute exercise routines. It was hell and I did it all in private. I'm not quite sure how I didn't eat in front of my husband, but I think I even kept it from him. Read more >

I started the chemo and radiation 13 days ago and today the Caveman noticed a bald spot on the back of my head.My tumor was on the right side of my head - just behind my ear and behind the area previously covered by my Bluetooth headset.My biggest side effect of this cancer treatment has been my anger and frustration at not operating at a level I expect from myself.My cognition and memory could have been affected but, nothing so far.Each day I get stronger, better and clearer.I KNOW that god had prepared me for this journey.

There are simple and direct methods I use to detox my body.Some of the things I eat every day include; green tea, turmeric tea, sprouted almonds, flaxseed oil, and a plant based diet and I thought that was enough to keep me healthy.When I was in the hospital I remember not wanting any of the processed and packaged crap that they wanted to feed me.Once I got home I ate mostly watermelon for about the first month. Today, I still crave watermelon and have watermelon, chopped into bite size pieces, in the fridge. Read more >

A couple days of no exercise. Yesterday was an official today off and today turned into a day off and a wonderful day out and about with the family. It was a day of munching and snacking, but also being outside. The munching and snacking wasn't processed food or junk food, though it certainly wasn't lentils and spinach. Read more >

Looking to change up my exercise routine, I ran a race Sunday that honored those in the military. The real honor came at the end when I cheered for Yuyri Zmysly, a man who doctors said could forever be in a vegetative state. Read more >

Here is who falls down flights of stairs:ClownsJason BourneMe(Just so we're clear, I use "falls" in a general way to cover, "intentionally falling down a short flight of circus stairs in order to get laughs from children," "being thrown down dark stairways by assassins," and, "slipping on too-long pajama bottoms with a.) no premeditated intent to fall, or b.) anyone threatening pursuing you from the bedroom behind you...and why would there be because it's 11AM on a Tuesday?")
