Interesting Developments

Today was a great day for me as a blogger.  First off, one of my posts was featured in something called a blog carnival.  It is a compilation of various articles about all different health issues, everything from hormones and cancer to pain relief and pregnancy.  You can check it out here to see what I mean.

Secondly, I was asked to feed my blog onto a website called www.healthcare.com. Apparently the content editor had come across my blog and, in her words, “was really impressed by the content.” It feels good to hear that I’m on the right track.

On another note, I have to update you on my progress with regards to my eating.  I am doing really well and not feeling too deprived.  I’ll admit I did take a bite from a chocolate chip ice cream sandwich and eat a small slice of flourless chocolate cake over the weekend, but I was able to consciously make the choices to do so.  As I’ve been following the no wheat (gluten), no dairy, and no sugar recommendations, I have felt better.  In fact, as I type right now, I am actually not feeling any pain in my fingers. Amazing, but true!  Even more amazing to this self-proclaimed sugar/chocolate addict is that I don’t really miss it.  Even the small amount that I enjoyed this weekend did not bring on cravings.  I am actually feeling very “in control” of my eating and not feeling the need to turn to sugar when life gets stressful or I don’t feel good.  My sleep has been better, too.  I’m going to say it again, amazing!
