Week 4 Challenge and Rev/ Dex/ Krypolis

Well I've completed my 21 day fitness challenge- didn't have much time to give a day by day plan with the exception on IG posts -Yoliecooks.
It's been some interesting few weeks, but happy to say I safely lost 5 lbs, and 4 more to go. This challenge has taught me that I don't have to just go with the flow, but I can move towards a healthier eating regimen as well as workout. This challenge was more rewarding than when I normally workout at the gym... with that I'm proud of the results.

-Losing some of waist and stomach- states happiness on my part.

Healthy mindset is a must for those going through chronic conditions. The way to move ahead in making changes is towards your diet and getting some form of physical activity*.

*Always speak with your doctor when you want to go that route of physical activities in what should and should not be done, based on your individual situation.

Diet
My diet consisted of mindfulness- period!

It was refreshing to eat minimal and really pay attention on what I placed on the plate.
My regimen went a little like this:
Breakfast- (1 or another)
Smoothies (yogurt, fruits, and flaxseed)
Oatmeal and blueberries

Snacks- (1 or another)
Blueberry (under a cup)
Low fat Popcorn (under a cup)
Trisket crackers (4-5 crackers)

Dinner- (1 or another)
Less white rice and more brown rice- 1 small serving
Fresh vegetables
Salads
Fish or Chicken

It was fun to play around with the meals and record my eating schedule on the fridge.
Part of this challenge was a huge intake of water- which definitely did my body good.

More developments on the way :)

Plugging Multiple Myeloma

I had a wonderful conversation with a new friend on the trials of myeloma, and it was interesting that we’ve both experienced to some degree the nonchalant reactions when faced with our disease. The saying to walk a mile in one's own moccasins could never be far from the truth, sometimes you get the feeling that no one cares or your cause and or experience is not of interest...., or better yet taken seriously.... I'm reviewing various sources to promote Another Face of Multiple Myeloma , and after extensive research I found there a not many books on patient related experiences, which I find odd, with the exception of popular myeloma blogger Pat Killingsley, I found just two other personal stories from author's penned memoirs on myeloma, and one unfortunately passed away and the other I'm desperately trying to gather contact information. I was in the process of working with a top myeloma foundation to present my book to readers that could possbly relate to my experi...

Out of Commision

Hello Fellow Readers, Excuse the short absence. I was ill with some kind of strange viral infection- that no one knows for sure what it was..... This was one time I knew for sure MM was about to be the death of me! What started off as a quick turn sore throat to losing my voice in 1 day, to an ear infection the next day, to horrendous back spasms- i cannot tell you how much pain i was in. Now this may not have had anything to do with MM, but the back spasm and me crawling and dropping to the floor due to the pain.... I cannot tell you how crazy the experience has been. My concern was even more intense with the back spasms, as it was at my lower spine, where I already have small indications of lesions, so you can imagine how scary this was. I recovered from this, but hope there was no damage done, but my practioner assured me if there was fractions, I would not be about to bend and do some of the tests he had me do. I'll need to share this experience with my oncologist in th...

Healthy Snacks-2014... Crunch Appeal

Okay, so you all know I'm trying to limit my sugar and chicken intake. I'm very mindful of sugar and when enough is enough, so I still have a way to go. I came upon a recipe some years ago when diagnosed with myeloma and reading on the benefits of adding flax seed to diet. Flax seed is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, which helps in reducing bone lost, stabilizing blood sugar, promoting weight loss, as well as increasing your immune system. I have to admit I'm a snacker and it's something about getting the munchies just when it's time to call it a night that the snack attack occurs. I like snacks that crunch... I don't know maybe it's a mental thing or something. Today, we're snowed in and I need a break from my business at Spitfir, so I've played around for tonight's snack when "The Walking Dead" series comes on:) Shall we begin?? Let's rock..... ...
