No hair, lots of vegetables and exercise!

Well I can't believe it's February already. It seems like the time goes so fast. Course when one sleeps until 11 most days I suppose the days would go fast. I can't wait for a day when I can get up early and stay up and not have to go back to bed! It's in my future soon I just know it! The increase in the oral chemo has started to leave some effects of fatigue and the mysterious missing pigment polka dots on my arms. It's crazy what the drug does taking the pigment out of my skin color and out of my hair, which by the way I finally shaved. Oh well, no tears this time, don't even miss it.

I'm really getting into this diet, loving the vegetables and fruit, especially the fresh juice! Right now I am reading a few books by Dr. Russell Blaylock, his website is http://www.russellblaylockmd.com/

he has done so much research on cancer and nutrition it's just amazing. I am learning so much more and applying it to my own eating and for Matt and the kids. I'm gonna kick this cancers butt no matter what!!!! One book that is extremely important I recommend is called Excitotoxins, which discusses how horrible MSG is in most processed foods even if the label says "Contains no MSG", it's scary what it's doing to us and our children. I recommend it for everyone to read. I will never buy a package of frozen chicken nuggets or anything of the sort again!!!!! Much less do I ever care if I have another diet pepsi. Now if you know me well that last statement is fairly shocking, but I mean it!

I've been trying to ease back into the exercising when I'm not too tired. Thanks to the nice days I have been able to get up to the track at the hs to walk/run some days. The other days I am loving the WII Fit. The boxing is of course my favorite. I am also back into the Turbo Jam again, but being careful on my port side, (I promise Dr. C). It just makes me feel so much better. Hopefully once I get my health and fatigue under control I can start taking pictures. I hope that's soon.

Here's a picture of my salad from tonight. I just snapped it with my little tiny Olympus camera, it was just so pretty full of colors. I know it's kind of strange taking pictures of my food but I miss doing it. Also, here's a picture of my Turbo Jam lady Chalene Johnson. I have her on my desktop right now to motivate me to try and workout when I feel good enough. Her picture is my goal of what I want to look like someday, she is in such great shape!!! However it will take like 16 years to grow my hair that long again since it's not even peach fuzz yet.

Hope you are all enjoying this weather! Heather.
