Angel Food (lowfat)

Really, it probably won’t be too long until someone publishes a book called “The Salmonella Diet.” I’m finally recovering, after being on said “diet” for about a week and a half. I can absolutely, guarantee you that the salmonella diet will help you lose 6 lbs in 6 days - without exercise, and you won’t even feel hungry!!!!  

Seriously, food poisoning sucks. I’m finally through with all my antibiotics and am hoping that my GI system will be normal sometime soon. I’m finally eating again and will be thrilled to never again drink another electrolyte laced sports beverage, if I can help it.

I realize I’ve not given an update here on my headache/weird CT scan issues. Well, apparently my head isn’t perfectly normal, but there’s nothing for me to be worrying about, either. For now, my primary physician is going to keep treating me for migraines and tension headaches. I’m glad to report that I’ve not had a migraine for a few weeks, and yoga is helping me to manage my tension. Thanks to everyone for the good thoughts and prayers when I visited the neurosurgeon. He was kind and cute, but I’m happy not to ever have to see him again!

Now that all of my random health issues seem to be resolving themselves, I’m looking forward to getting healthy and stronger for my impending nuptials. My pilot-in-training fiance and I still haven’t been able to set a wedding date, but we’re getting close. Within a month, we should be setting the date. Today is the first time in a while that I’ve looked at my wedding planning materials, fave web sites, magazine clippings, etc. I’m actually so excited to be venturing forth toward the wedding, but I’m not yet close to my health goals.

My goal to be more active this year has gone no where. After a fabulous weekend with my pilot, I realize that I want us to be an active, healthy couple together. But, it will be hard for us to be an active couple if we’re not active individuals. An old friend I’ve recently reconnected with on facebook has inspired me to get back into my yoga practice. Yoga helps me to be stronger and better balanced, both physically and spiritually. Even after just two practices this past week, I feel better. I hope to find something cardio-wise that makes me feel as good as yoga does. Swimming, stadium steps, zumba? Oh, what will be the answer to my cardio questions? Stay tuned as I try to find out this summer!
