I can eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and not complain too much, but the lovlies that I cook for won't let that fly. So a few days ago I saw a recipe on Good Things Utah and I thought I can change that up and add it to our gluten free, soy free, dairy free, sweetener free diet recipe box. Well Parker moaned that this is what was on the menu for the night, but then after trying it he not only had seconds, but thirds. <br />
Here is the real recipe for <a href="http://www.good4utah.com/good-things-utah/gtu-recipes/creamy-roasted-butternut-squash-soup">Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup</a><br />

So after I have eaten everything in the house I remember that this means that my body would like me to eat more healthy fats, and I have just the recipe for that, well I have adapted just the recipe.<br />
<br />
This started out as Chicken with Lemon Butter Sauce, and became<b> Chicken with Lemon Coconut Oil Sauce</b><br />
Ingredients:<br />
1/2 Cup White Wine (if you don't like wine you can use chicken stock)<br />
2 tsp Minced Garlic<br />
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil<br />
1/2 Cup Full Fat Coconut Milk<br />
1/4 tsp Salt<br />
1 Lemon<br />
<br />
Chicken<br />
2 Skinless Breast Filets, pounded to 1/ 4 inch and cut in half<br />
Salt and Pepper<br />
1/3 Cup Gluten Free Flour Mixture (the one I used today tasted like sand! Yum The search continues...)<br />
1/4 Cup Olive Oil<br />
1 Tbs Capers<br />
2 Tbs Sun Dried Tomatoes <br />
Parsley for Garnish<br />
T<br />
1. In a small saucepan, combine wine and garlic over medium heat. Bring wine to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer until wine is reduced in half, about 3 or 4 minutes. Pour through a strainer into a bowl to remove garlic.<br />
2. Rinse out saucepan, add butter and place over medium heat. When butter has melted return wine to pan along with Coconut Milk and Salt.<br />
3. Cut Lemon in half and squeeze half into the sauce, add Sun Dried Tomatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer 10 minutes, cover and remove from heat.<br />
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.<br />
5. Coat each piece of chicken in Flour with Salt & Pepper. Place in skillet and saute about 4 minutes on each side.<br />
6. Arrange chicken on platter. Sprinkle with capers and spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with Parsley and lemons.<br />
<br />
Menu:<br />
Breakfast: Beef Jerky and Cucumbers<br />
Snack: Pistachios<br />
Snack: Watermelon <br />
Lunch: Red Lentil Penne Pasta, Tomato, olive oil, maranaited artichoke hearts, salt & pepper.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JKPctrjRoIE/VcfOFzU8FUI/AAAAAAAAsj8/I73G7iSBa-o/s1600/index.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JKPctrjRoIE/VcfOFzU8FUI/AAAAAAAAsj8/I73G7iSBa-o/s1600/index.jpg" /></a></div>
I just didn't know I was being filmed.<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qDoFxtNOi0E" width="480"></iframe> <br />
Okay so not me, my hair never looks that good, but Jer has come home to find me cheating on my diet. <br />
When
you have hashimoto's you are suppose to keep your blood sugar level,
that's why I do all this eating when I am not even hungry, to the point
where it is a chore to eat. When my blood sugar
goes up I am more likely to have an attack. I am allowed one
sweetener, xylitol. But I don't like it, it doesn't bake well and well I
am just plain sick of ruining all our food, by trying to create some
sweet-free, gluten-free, dairy-free eatable substance. So one time I
ate some M&M's and when I say one time I mean the whole month of our our
vacation and the weeks following, but I am weaning myself off of them
now. Like I told Jer I can't be completely perfect! <br />
So yes I do cheat and yes I do weigh heavy some days,
have I died, No! Do I feel better when I don't cheat? YES! So when I
am going to go to a party or something here is what I do. I eat a lot
of good food, then I am not starving and I can think more rationally and
steer clear of the goody table. I also am very good at just having 1
bite of what Jer is having and he is usually nice enough to share. I
also drink lots and lots of water, I find that this leaves little time
to cheat as I am already busy using the restroom.<br />
<br />
Breakfast: Hard Boilded Egg & Cauliflower<br />
Snack: Almond<br />
Lunch: Leftover tinfoil dinner<br />
Snack: Watermelon<br />
Dinner: Salmon wild rice with veggies and chicken stock. <br />

I hate breakfast! I don't like eating early in the morning and I'm usually not hungry until 2pm. I don't really like breakfast foods unless you are talking Lucky Charms, I could totally spend the rest of my life eating lucky charms! I mean they are totally magically delicious, and include some of my favorite food groups like stars, hearts, horseshoes, moons, etc.. But I digress. My Doctor told me that I need to eat within 30 minutes of waking up, and I need a veggie and protein, so I eat a lot of meals when I am not hungry. I kind of equate this to doing chores I don't love, I mean I don't really love to mop the kitchen floor but I get the job done.<br />
So here is my typical breakfast, I don't love it I just eat it. <br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nFh9SnijULI/VcPFkX4s2bI/AAAAAAAAsiQ/cLQM3lN1xX4/s1600/New%2BBody.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nFh9SnijULI/VcPFkX4s2bI/AAAAAAAAsiQ/cLQM3lN1xX4/s320/New%2BBody.jpg" width="274" /></a></div>
With my lifestyle changes I have been able to get a whole new body. Well not really but it feels like it.<br />
Let me list some symptoms that I was having that are now either gone, or under control.<br />
<ul>
<li>I was taking<b> <span style="color: red;">high blood pressure</span></b> medicine, and they wanted to up my dose.</li>
<li>I was taking <span style="color: red;"><b>high cholesterol</b></span> medicine and it made my joints ache.</li>
<li>I had to pee at least 23 times a day, I am not kidding I was keeping track. Turns out I had a <span style="color: red;"><b>urinary track infection.</b></span></li>
<li>I had <span style="color: red;"><b>hot hands and feet</b></span>. Like burning scalding hot I would wake Jer up with them in the middle of the night and he would scream like a little girl!</li>
<li>I was <b><span style="color: red;">swollen</span></b>. Even though I was exercising every single day. My arms looked like sausages bursting out of their casing. My face was also very puffy. </li>
<li>My<span style="color: red;"><b> eyes hurt</b></span>, and it hurt to focus them, and I wanted to wear sunglasses all the time. </li>
<li>I was<span style="color: red;"><b> exhausted</b></span>, but could not sleep. I had a hard time waking up in the morning to get the kids to school, and then I would fall asleep every afternoon as soon as my kids got home from school and would sleep for a few hours get up cook dinner and then go back to bed. Then at 12 am I would lay wide awake. So frustrating especially because I couldn't take a sleeping pill due to Jer being gone. </li>
<li><span style="color: red;"><b>Fibroids</b></span> in my breast, uterus, and on my ovaries, resulting in a hysterectomy, sonogram, and mammogram. </li>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">Brain fog</span></b>, I couldn't remember anything, I would talk to people during the day, and not even remember. I couldn't help the kids with their school work because I couldn't grasp new concepts. </li>
<li>I had a <span style="color: red;"><b>headache</b></span>, yep not multiple headaches, just one that went on and on and on. Sometimes it would get worse and I would have to lay in a quiet, cold, dark room until I threw up and then I wold get back to my regular headache. This got slightly better after my hysterectomy, but came back after a few months. </li>
<li><span style="color: red;"><b>HOT FLASHES</b></span>, and intolerance to the cold, yep I had them both, talk about being a pain. </li>
</ul>
Working with Dr Jeremy Swindlehurst (yes that is a very unfortunate last name) at Red River Health and Wellness I was able to change my diet and add supplements that have helped me to feel so much better. I am still working on some things, like I make iron like a super hero, but I feel so much better. I am off of my high blood pressure and high cholesterol medicine and I have lost 24 lbs.<br />

If you have a hard time sleeping at night eat a snack before bed. With this diet you don't want to be hungry and you don't want your blood sugar to get too low or to spike.<br />

Oh you mean Hashimoto's, what's that?In December I found out that I have Hashimoto's, I have had Hypothyroidism since 1999, and so at some time my body decided that it should start attacking itself. So what now?<br />
<ul>
<li>Pay a chiropractor a large amount of money to diagnose me and read my labs, and put me on a rude diet that I hate!</li>
<li>Pay a prescribing doctor to fight with me about how to feel better.</li>
<li>Spend a lot of money on foods that I will find out I can't eat.</li>
<li>Find out that by changing my diet I all the sudden burn the hell out of everything I cook. </li>
<li>Give up my joys in life, PEPSI, WHEAT & DAIRY.</li>
<li>Then be super sad that I have a super great family, a fun place to live, and the greatest friends, but my greatest joys in life <strike>are</strike> were, PEPSI, WHEAT & DAIRY.</li>
</ul>
On the 28th of December 2014 I went on an anti-inflammatory diet. I cut out wheat, dairy, soy, artificial & natural sweeteners, and somewhere along the my happiness! So I am working on finding a new happiness. So while I work on a new happiness I will share my diet with everyone.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay now on to the diet, I eat at least 5 times a day, starting by eating 30 minutes after I wake up. Breakfast, lunch and dinner always include at least one veggie, and one protein.

First was beef, for the first day you eat it for one meal and then on day two you eat it for two meals, and then go two days without it to see how you are feeling. </div>

To her credit though, the last time we went in there was a little girl in the chair bawling her eyes out. So this time we had Grandma Stephanie in tow and Payton promised that she wouldn't wuss out. <br />

She didn't cry and Jer and I were more nervous than her!!!! She picked some nice white gold emeralds that is her birth stone. They look very classy on her, and she has been taking very good care of them.

The Big Squeeze!!! National Breast Cancer Awareness MonthDAD TMI mean Too Much Information! You may want to skip this one. Sorry there are no pictures, but that is probably a good thing. <br />
Pimples wrapped around my chest up over my shoulder and around to my back. I couldn't wear clothes. I was pretty sure that I had shingles, I had had had them once in high school, but not open weeping sores. So I make a make an appointment with my family doctor who really is the nicest lady and feel bad showing her my gross owies. She says yep looks like shingles, but what is that huge lump in your chest, walnut sized. What?? Oh no! Tears!!! Then they schedule me for a sonogram, yep there is a lump, more tears! Have you ever had shingles? They cause a lot of tears, and then finding out you have a lump more tears. So then they ask you a hundred times about your family history and that causes more tears! Lucky ladies doing the sonogram, did I mention that there was a student there to watch, yay more tears!!! Did I mention that I just had a hysterectomy? More tears!!!! So then the main doctor over the department comes in and tells me that I have to have a Mammogram. So they do the left side first great I can handle that, now they start on the right side where the shingles are. The chick doing the mammogram is trying to be so careful and nice, and I am crying and thinking just get this done. She keeps reminding me to breath and I keep holding my breath and gritting my teeth. We get the first picture done, and then she goes in for the second, and I am hanging on for dear life and my shingles are screaming in pain. And then I wake up on the floor. With the technician standing over me. She is crying and trying to get me off the floor. She just kept saying "You were just hanging there!, You were just hanging there!" <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">So here is my plug to get a Mammogram, just don't do it when you have </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">shingles.</span></strong> <br />
<br />
I have to add I am just fine now, as my super awesome lame ass yucky Dr Vasquez in Moab told me and I quote "you just have lumpy, bumpy boobs!" As you can see the bedside manner in Moab is overwhelming!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Okay if you made it this far, I am all for advice for our new house. What would you do about the open concept? Is it okay to have straight line transitions? What color would you paint the dining room? Have you ever painted over black crackle? How did that go? Have you ever painted over dark green? What color primer do you use?</span></div>

It is one of those things that I would change about myself in a heartbeat. Especially now that I have kids. I don't want to embarrass them, most of the time. I like my kids to do well, and thrive. Sometimes, okay most of the time I am frustrated because I am a type A personality, and my kids are cool to just slide by in life. Ahhhh, don't you want to get better??? I will practice with you, I will put time into it, I will drill you!!! Oh well I can't live their lives for them. Okay now on to the post. Parker decided to try wrestling again this year, he had wrestled previous years and then taken last year off. Part of me thinks that he just did it because Jer and I like wrestling so much, part of me thinks his friends from school talked him into it. Parker has Aspergers, so he doesn't like to be touched, he doesn't like bright lights, and he doesn't like to be yelled at, or loud noises. So what does Parker like about wrestling, you may ask. Well he loves the concession stand, his personal favorite is Nachos. Yes cause who doesn't love to sit in an over crowded stuffy gymnasium with you kid eating chips dripping with gooey artifically colored gloop! With no napkins. I am so proud of Parker for doing wrestling this year even though he doesn't love it. At the Blanding wrestling tournament I became that Mom!!! You know the one, the crazy one, I like to think that Jer has rubbed off on me a little bit, so it wasn't as bad as you are imaging. In the video you will see an awesome wrestler, his mat balance is amazing, what isn't amazing is that his coach was coaching him to rack up points on Parker. It is one thing to do this in practice, it is another thing to do it in a tournament. It made me so mad, does this other coach know how hard it is to get Parker to the tournaments, and how hard it is to keep him there once the tournament starts. So after Parkers' match I talked to the coach, pretty sure it was his Dad. I was super duper nice and I tried talking him ahout just going for points on a kid with Autism is pretty cruel. I tried to tell him that there is a place for practicing and that he could see that Parker was not on the same level as his kid. He was quite rude to me and told me that he can't help it that his kid is just good. Yep your kid is awesome sir, it's your coaching that is lacking. I was so hurt, everything is such a struggle at our house, from getting dressed in just the right clothing, that don't rub your body anywhere, to eating just the right the food, to never sleeping, hardly ever! Not to mention when Parker decides that he is going to go to a tournament, and then freaks out all week because he has to wrestle. Yep sir your kid is just good! (and my heart is broken.) So hear in the match with the really good kid. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So after I get after this Coach/Dad, he goes up and apologizes to Jer. Really cause Jer just totally put himself out there for our son. Oh well at least he apologized, and then at the Farmington Tournament Parker wrestled the kid again and it was a much better match. I am sorry that I had to get a little snarky, but if I made this coach think about the baggage that other kids are bring to the mat, then maybe it was worth it to be a Mama Bear. </div>

It is a wonderful spiritual time, where many times I have felt like the talks were prepared especially for me. This year I eagerly awaited that talk that was meant for me. Many times I felt little bits were for me, but I truly loved when the the Tabernacle Choir sang <em>Come, Come Ye Saints. </em>I found this on YouTube, it isn't the version that was sang during conference, but you get the point. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">ALL IS WELL</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was also very taken by the closing statement that President Thomas S. Monson shared. I loved that he challenged us to study the talks that have been shared in this conference. He asked us to be kind, loving, and tolerant to others that don't share our beliefs. He pronounced a blessing on our homes, and said "if we will put our trust in the Lord he will help us through our difficulties, what ever they may be." Psalm 30:5 <em>Weeping may endure through a night, but joy will come in the morning.</em> What comfort this brings and I am so glad that we have a living prophet to remind me of this. </div>

Miss Payton has been working on memorizing the Articles of Faith, they are a list of 13of our churchs' core beliefs. She is goes once a week to achievement day, and works with Sister Blankangle, and the other girls. Here they recited them all as group. I am so proud of Miss Payton, she worked on these so hard. I am so proud of her. Every spare second she had she was studying. If you would like to learn more about our core beliefs it is right here: </div>

I got all dressed up in my spiffy jogging outfit, and Hank scratched on the door and wanted to come in. I opened the back door and he saw me and ran and crashed straight into the front door because he was so excited to go jogging. I thought you might enjoy what a spaz my dog is when he thinks you are going to go running with him. (Disclaimer: We live on 40 acres and Hank could go for a run any old time he felt like it.)<br />

I love this hardworkig man, isn't he cute when he is sleeping!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay here are all the cute pictures from our trip to Cedar City. "Why were you in Cedar City?" you ask. Well it is a funny story, or not so funny if you are me! For Christmas my Dad gave me one of the best presents I have ever recieved a Bosh mixer with a blender attachment. I was so excited I knew that's what I was getting so I had a whole list of things that I was going to make with it. On Christmas night after all the festivities we headed to Grand Junction to Jeremy's parents house. I begged him to bring my mixer but he said their wasn't any room -He always says that. And because I had just had surgery I couldn't lift my mixer, so I went and said good-bye to it. We spent time in Grand Jct, and then time back at home. Due to my surgery I was moving extra slow, and had to take down all the Christmas decor before Jer went back to work. So after it was all down we headed to Moab to pick up my mixer. We got to my Dad's and I went to get it and it was GONE. I had a momentary freak out! Asked my Dad three times if he had really gotten me one, and he said he had so I called Megan. Now know as Rat Sister. Rat Sister did not answer her phone, so I called other sister who I am still thinking up a not nice name. Not nice Sister answered her phone and said she that Rat Sister had taken her mixer home for her, and then her husband informed her that he had packed her mixer in their little tiny car. (Imagine that they had room in their little tiny car for big large mixer, and baby and baby supplies. Hum I am going to have to talk to Jer about this!) Any way Rat Sister had packed her Bosch and my Bosch thinking it was not nice sisters' Bosch. I was recovering from Surgery and couldn't drive to Cedar to pick it up, So I had to wait the 21+ days until Jer got back to take me! <br />
Moral of the story: If your Dad gets you a really cool gift take it home right that minute, even if he got your not so nice Sisters the same exact present.</div>

I made him let me take a video, and then my kids wanted to join in the fun. <br />

We had some friends over to celebrate the end of the world! Thanks Lee, Melissa & Gus!!!! I made the food and Lee brought the things to blow up. I love how it turned into a science lesson, and the kids kept yelling try this, try that. By the end of the night we were all seeing spots and our ears were ringing, I guess that means we had a good time!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10152038013199406647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364387210840462330.post-59612296217981612832013-01-02T20:16:00.001-07:002013-01-02T20:20:33.582-07:00Cute clip of Jer and our Niece Kynlee<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: black;">In San Juan School District they put on this wonderful program called the long walk. The <b>Long Walk of the Navajo</b>, also called the <b>Long Walk to Bosque Redondo</b> (</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_language" title="Navajo language"><span style="color: black;">Navajo</span></a><span style="color: black;">: <span lang="nv" xml:lang="nv"><span style="font-family: Aboriginal Sans, DejaVu Sans, Calibri, Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif;"><span lang="nv" xml:lang="nv"><b>Hwéeldi</b></span></span></span>), refers to the 1864 deportation and attempted ethnic cleansing of the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_people" title="Navajo people"><span style="color: black;">Navajo people</span></a><span style="color: black;"> by the U.S. government. Navajos were forced to walk at gunpoint from their reservation in </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_Territory" title="New Mexico Territory"><span style="color: black;">what is now Arizona</span></a><span style="color: black;"> to eastern </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico" title="New Mexico"><span style="color: black;">New Mexico</span></a><span style="color: black;">. Some 53 different forced marches occurred between August 1864 and the end of 1866. </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Walk_of_the_Navajo"><span style="color: black;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Walk_of_the_Navajo</span></a><span style="color: black;">. All of the 5th Grade classes from all over San Juan county come together to learn about the Indians in their area and how they were treated, how they survived and sustained themselves. It was so well put together, I was very impressed with the work that the Blanding teacher Mr. Turk? put into it. He was dressed to the nines in his full Confederate solider uniform. So we didn't really walk all that far, but when we did we were in two lines with a two inch diameter rope in between us. We were given our daily rations which was a small square of hardtack, I saw some hardtack along the trail and I am pretty sure the Navajos didn't drop their hardtack. The 5th graders were told to hang on to the rope and not let go. We were asked to walk in reverence with no talking. We were also asked to go slow, and to swing wide. There was also a guard on horse back with a bull whip reminding us to keep moving, no talking, and keep our hands on the rope. At the beginning we did so well, but after we had stopped at the College and took part in a few stations, we were feeling our oats and we forgot to swing wide, and wiped quite a few 5th graders out. I shouldn't make fun, but it was so funny to watch the kids get taken out. The rope would be smashed against a tree, and kid after kid would smash into the tree and fall to the ground, but they had been told not to let go of the rope, so by golly they were going to hold on to that rope even if it meant getting a mouthful of Juniper bush. (Just so you know what a bad person I am I am laughing so hard that I am crying just writing this.) As we are on our hike we are stopped a few times to talk about what the Indians went through and what they daily diet was. We learn about kindness, and ethics, and about being prepared. When we reached the end of our walk we were greeted by warm fires, chili and fry bread. Mr Turk had Native Americans there to serve the children. I was so pleased and felt like I had learned a lot that day, and was I was hoping that the 5th graders in Parkers' class had done the same. So as I was walking back to my truck (I truly am a snob I only drive myself on field trips!) I overheard the kids asking their teacher when they were going to get to eat their sack lunches! Really truly I think it might take todays' kids a few long walks before they lose their sense of entitlement. </span><br />

I hate that my Insurance doesn't want to pay for it because I am too young?<br />
I hate that I have small rolling veins that are so hard to get an IV in.<br />
I hate that I have to have a catheter and when I ask to have it removed the nurses all say no.<br />
But the think I hated the very most was that my recovery in the MATERNITY WARD. Really was that called for? As if I am not an emotional wreck after having all of my girl parts taken out, knowing that I will NEVER have another baby. <br />
Anyway on to my Happy List.<br />
I was happy that I have a sweet husband to take care of my.<br />
I am happy that my kids can stop stressing about Mommy.<br />
I am happy that I have great friends that text me and facebook me to see how I am doing<br />
I am happy that all of nurses were very great. and when I freaked out that my arm was swelling she pulled the IV out right then. <br />
I am happy that I only had to stay one night in the hospital. <br />
I am happy that I precooked all of the meals so I don't have to stress about cooking.<br />
I am happy that in 6 weeks I will be able to start exercising again. <br />
<br />
Maybe when I am off my meds I will write more.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10152038013199406647noreply@blogger.com2
