Chicama Run Family Farm

...we seem to re-evaluate what we are eating and how we are living our life.  At least that is the case for me.  Not a 1 or 2 day illness - that's nothing.  But for the last 3 weeks I have been sick.  That's right 3 LONG weeks.

The first 2 Joe had to take off work from his regular job so he could do the basic stuff around the house I really couldn't do.  Heck, getting out of bed wasn't happening at all!  By the end of week 2, they switched my antibiotic because the first one only got rid of 1 of the bacteria in my system.

So what have I been doing wrong?  It's actually quiet simple..... I was eating crap.  I was running off sugar and cheap carbohydrates that were slowly killing my wonderful immune system so when it was presented with an opportunity I got every bacteria around.  I was over-tired, eating garbage, and was at the ER because my daughter popped her knee out.

Now, where to go from here?  I read.... that's what I do.... it's amazing WHAT I read though sometimes.  I have migraine headaches so I started reading about magnesium and so much made sense and actually added up.  Most people are deficient in magnesium, plain and simple.  So, I have started supplementing magnesium.  I haven't been on it long enough to make any difference, so that will come in later.

I went back to making stuff that's good for us for dinner.  Even trying new things - and I was my own guinea pig and found out fried sweetbreads taste like fried oysters so this will become a favorite for me!

The cultures need to be going.... so I made some kefir today (along with some cheeses!! YUM).... yogurt needs to be more of a staple... and sadly - the hardest thing for me will be to stop drinking sodas, but I'll get there.

Even before the new year - reaffirm to yourself what you need to do to take care of your body.... why wait?
