| About me: |
I am 51 yrs old. Married & have three kids (19, 21 & 34). And my beautiful grandbaby. I started my first diet in 5th grade and other than a few years, I have been overweight to one degree or another and have tried too many diets to count ruining my thyroid in the process but was always very physical & active till a move 10 yrs ago. I am concentrating on healthy foods and cutting out processed as much as is realistic for my life. Trying for 80% or more raw foods
I want to do the things I used to do... be active ... ride & train my pasture ornaments, hike & find a workout buddy again some day
I Live on mini farm. I do not generally believe in western medicine practices that only treat but do not cure.

|
| Diets I like: |
mostly raw, no starches, with some animal proteins seems to be best for my blood sugars and my weight.
|
|
| Workout of choice: |
anything I can get myself to do ( zumba, turbo jam, hip hop abs, belly dancing, yoga DVDs) ... ride my recumbent bike as my fail safe.
|
|
| My plan: |
Eat at least 80% raw. juicing, green smoothies, salads, fruits & veggies. Try to greatly reduce grains even more than I already have ... yes, even whole grains.
My blood sugars are greatly effected by grains & beans/legumes.
|
|
| I need the most help with: |
working out on weekends too, choosing well when eating "out"
|
|
| Additional Info: |
I want to feel better, look better & have more energy and control diabetes or cure it would be even better.
