30 day Challenge update (day 18)

Well it has been  a grand total of 18 days since I began this challenge...I must say that it takes a lot of strength and dedication to make positive changes in your life that are for your own good.   Everyday I have tried my best to add something new to my regimen to a healthy lifestyle.

I must report that I have not had any Coke Cola and I am determined that I am not having any.   This has not been the easiest decision, but I feel that it is one of the best ones that I have made in a very long time.  I am not saying that you should not drink any coke or caffeine products, but it is my decision to help me to overcome some of my health struggles.  I must say that I can not report a great deal of relief from the physical pain in my body as I do suffer with chronic pain that has been characterized/diagnosed as Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia has no known cure, but there are others that have documented a great deal of relief and pain management and I know that there is some relief for me as well.

I also would like to report that I go Physical this weekend with the Ayers gang on the Tennis Court and it was fun even though I was in pain, I pressed through and played a few rounds and plan on going back again..  I think they enjoyed the game as well.

   My fight against the desire to drink coke. In the past, I would drink several of these a day.....Not Today!!!
 My tennis rackets that I purchased last year that have not been used until this past weekend...They had to be dusted off.

No pain No Gain...

I have not been here for a while. There has been a lot going on since the last time as I have to try to balance my life and keep up with the hustle & bustle of my everyday duties which are influenced a great deal by the constant physical pain from the fibromyalgia.  I recently returned back to work. I feel that this was part of the plan for me. One day in July, I began to pray as well as write down the things I wanted and needed God to help me with. I needed direction as well as for him to go before me to help to work out the situations out for me. One of the things I needed the most attention was dealing with my financial situation.  For the most part, I had not really worked since my Surgery last year (sept. 2013). I really needed to know what to do in this situation. I prayed to God and decided to send my resume out resume out to a few places. Little did I know that the timing was so right.  It's so important to be in position to receive your blessing.  After ...

5 Ways to use Golden Turmeric Paste Daily

Top 5 ways to use Golden Turmeric Paste Daily 1.Add to warm or cold milk. Golden turmeric milk is one of the most popular ways to take turmeric daily. Turmeric milk is extremely popular in Asian countries. With a dairy allergy, fibromyalgia and other digestion issues I use almond milk or make my own coconut milk as dairy is inflammatory and congestive. Simply add some turmeric paste in your milk and drink it. 2.Add to meat dishes and hot soups. Simply add a (large or small) dollop of turmeric golden paste. I’ve found I can ‘hide’ it in dishes with other stronger flavors. 3.Add to smoothies. There’s no limit to innovations you can do here. Experiment. Add turmeric golden paste to all kinds of smoothies and make your favorite ones even healthier. 4.Add it to rice. Golden Turmeric Paste can easily be added to rice. You can add 1 or more teaspoons after you have cooked the rice while still warm which enables smooth mixing. 5. ( My Favorite) Turmeric tea. You can add 1/4 te...
