1 month :) still going

So today is 1 month since I started my new eating style. Gotta say I'm proud of myself for coming this far. It's been hard and tough somedays I want to give up. I changed up my whole eating with the help of dear friend Sonja who is helping along the road. My meals consist of 5 small meals a day which is with NO SUGAR, carbs, dairy, salt, oil, all but green veggies, complex carbs, lean meat, NO NUTS, and a gallon of water per day for the next 4-6 weeks. Slowly will add in the other food.

I do cardio 4-5x a week and some weight training in running a longer and farther and if I don't exercise I feel guilty. MY CHEAT DAYS ARE SUNDAYS AND YEA I REWARD MYSELF and prep my meals that day also. My body feels good I feel good and most of my pants are starting to fall :)))) yayyyy. So today was my first way In and in proud to say I dropped 9ibs. :) and I am happy with it.

I still have a lot to go and a lot more to accomplish :) can't wait :)

more catching up

lets since early february well Valentines weekend manaia was in the hospital again for a bad eye infection that ended up having her get a TEMP ARTIFICIAL CORNEA TRANSPLANT FOR NOW.  This weekend was very overwhelming for ray and i took manaia in because her eye  was infected and hoping was nothing small. Manaia had an infection in her that formed and ulcer and the ulcer was sucking the Iris part of her and it was making her pupil shape like an oval instead of a circle. I gotta say this was the most me and ray felt overwhelmed with everything that has been happening with manaia not just over the years but last couple of months since its her second time being hospitalized within 3months apart. Manaia was the first case that dr.s at childrens and county have seen with a rare cornea condition so alot of dr.s would come in and ask if they can see her eye till now they are studying her case. She had an emergency surgery and felt like the LONGEST DAY EVER with so much in my mind as to why her?? i know that we shldn't question our heavenly father but just to have faith and know everything witll be ok. Her surgery was the longest 3hrs ever all i cld think of is when i get to see my baby in my arms again. i didnt want to leave to go home and shower as everyone tried to get me to do i cldn't becasue i wanted to be there where she was. We are so greatful and thankful for the love and support that we have from our Amazing family and friends who came to the hospital the same night they transfered manaia to county usc to be there for us but mainly manaia. even the ones who weren't far and wished they cld have been there with us was there in spirit.  So thankful for my Dad who has the power of the Priesthood in our family especially his unconditonal love for manaia and staying with us in the hospital till she came out of recovery along with my stepmom and sister in law brenda. Uncle tony and aunty irene who drove 6hrs from arizona to be there for us and helping me in the hospital. I am very thankful for my husband who together we worked well together as a team. Manaia needs to heal before her next surgery mean time she sees opthomalogists every 2-3 weeks :)
