Small victory #1: Today I walked to the movie store and the grocery store! They are really close by--just 5 or 10 minutes, but I was proud of myself for walking. I felt like I couldn't walk there before because there are no sidewalks, but today, I just went and it was great!
Small victory #2: I tried some incredible yummy and good for you recipes put out by Dr. Fuhrman, the author of both Eat to Live and Disease Proof Your Child. I have followed his suggested menu for three days now (that is why it is a small victory) and I love it. I made a few soups in bulk and froze them in portion-size bags so I could have them any time. This will be especially beneficial when I start school again Monday.
I met a family in California who prescribes to this way of eating, and they inspired me to give it another shot. They have one child who was not going to live at all, and she has been living now for five years--longer than anyone with her condition. Their other child is never sick--ever. No allergies, no colds, no flu--nothing. And it's not just because of good genes. Anyway, I thought it was cool that this family ate the way I want to eat.
Small victory #3: I read a whole book yesterday. It was quite nice--it was cold outside and I just sat on the couch most of the day, wrapped in a blanket, reading. The book is called Uglies by Scott Westerfield. It is about a society where when you turn 16 you become "a pretty" and a group of people who decided they wanted to stay "ugly." Next I will read Pretties, the next in the series.
Small victory #4: I went in-line skating!!! I was distraught here for quite a while because I couldn't find a decent park in which to in-line skate. January 1st, I set out to find a park and I found one with eleven miles of paved road for bikers, walkers, joggers, and me!! It was a lot of fun. I didn't go the whole eleven miles this time...and I probably won't next time either...but maybe one day. (That will be under Big Victories)

I'm glad you found an in-line skating park. Congrats on your small victories! I'd be curious to read your book. I've read of people recovering from cancer by only changing their diet.
It's so great that you can celebrate small victories! I am glad that you have them.
Questions: Is the cook book also a diet/and or way of living/eating book?
Also, can you e-mail me your address once more?

The Book is a diet/way of life book that talks about the reasoning behind the eating style and why there are so many diet-related diseases because of the regular American Diet. It is called "Eat to Live" by Joel Fuhrman and can be found on Amazon for pretty cheap.
Thanks!
That frozen soup thing is a good idea! We always have too many leftovers, and if we just took half and froze it that would be perfect! w00t!
