Step 1

There are a few things I hinted at that will be changing for me as I continue my staying cancer free journey. My cancer was not genetic, so there are a few things I am going to change in order to give myself every fighting chance to not get cancer again. My cancer has a high probability of reoccurring, but I'm not giving it that chance. With these changes, it will happen.

So....step one

Change what I am putting IN my body. I LOVE junk food, and sugar, and especially white breads and pasta....no more.
For the last two weeks, Mark and I have been cutting out all bleached flour sources. We actually have had no pasta( loving zoodles!) and only whole grain bread(but VERY limited). Also, we have had no sugar unless it comes from a natural source like fruit.
It has been hard, and I have slipped once or twice, but instead of giving up, I forgave myself and moved on.
Actually, I craved ice cream the other night. I did have some, and it didn't taste very good to me.
I have also lost 8 pounds!
So....what do we eat?
Well, for instance, last night we had Italian sausage on the grill. It is locally made, so I know what is in it. Normally we would have these sausages on a roll with chips and dip. Tonight, we had the sausage without the rolls, peppers and onions sauteed in a little bit of olive oil and beautiful large portabella mushrooms grilled. It was so good.

This is the first change we are making, once we get this down, on to the next change.
