I'm Sick
I haven't been able to post or exercise or cook meals or...I'm sick. I have lupus and fibromyalgia and the fibromyalgia has flared up. I am in so much pain; it feels like every muscle in body is on fire. My sternum is so sore until it hurts to breathe. The thing is that I am supposed to move my body, but it hurts so bad. Not moving makes it hurt worse, but I'm exhausted. No one seems to understand, but I know I'm not the only one who suffers from these dreadful diseases.I want my mommy - lol!!!
I plan to post as much as I am able. I will still weigh in on Monday even though I feel like I weigh a ton.

Week 2 Grocery List
I am a vegetarian which usually surprises people, especially my family and friends, because I don't like veggies - can't eat most of them without gagging. But I can juice them and I do. I've been eating vegetarian for almost 2 years. When I started I lost 32 pounds in 6 weeks and I wasn't "dieting." I was eating vegan really. Then I re-introduced cheese, salt, and processed baked goods and the weight piled on.Now I am going back to eating vegan, but slowly and eating according to Dr. Furhman's "Eat To Live" plan. I also suffer with fibromyalgia (the reason I stopped eating meat was to help me deal with my chronic pain) and am insulin resistent.
My grocery list for the week:
red kidney beans
lentils
crushed tomatoes
tomato sauce
corn
mustard greens
collard greens
brown rice pasta
brown rice
tomato soup
mushroom soup
fruit (whatever is in season)
various veggies for juicing
Kashi GoLean cereal
water
green tea
I eat locally grown produce and organic. I also drink alkaline pH balanced water so I like Fiji and SpringMountain in glass bottles. I have a very difficult time digesting wheat so if I eat pasta (when I eating right for me) I eat brown rice pasta or quinoa pasta.
I'll post later with my menu plan for the week.
