Interesting Happenings!

We've got a lot going on with the job hunt. We had a great interview with an organization in IA yesterday. It isn't one I would have picked, but if it worked out, it would be great. The salary is amazing!

Then at lunch we got another phone call from another organization. She basically told me, "We're ready to move on this. We're ready to hire. What do you want to do?" I was quite taken aback! We arranged an interview for this afternoon at 1pm. This is a place that fits what we've been looking for to a "T." They have all the things we were wanting. The salary isn't as much as the other place, but we don't need that kind of money.

Also, we still have an interview with another place tomorrow, plus the dozens of applications we have out floating around!

Remedy update: I've not noticed much difference in my sleep, though I did a bit better last night. I have noticed an improvement in my ankle, and I don't seem to be running to the bathroom so often. Also, my shoulder and ribcage seem to be improving.

More updates later, I'm sure!

Remedies

Yesterday, I wrote about finding that ABC Homeopathy site. I purchased another remedy for my husband, son, dog and cat. Kind of ironic, they all needed the same one! It actually came up for me, but I didn't fit the profile. I had trouble matching my husband, so I'm just giving it my best guess. I don't know about the people, but the animals seemed to respond right away. Toby immediately felt better. He started bouncing around the house and running around like a puppy. Cocoa, the cat, has also been very friendly and has shown no evidence of itching since I've been up this morning. I'm giving 30c of sulphur 1x per week to the dog and cat to help them with the fleas. We did Frontline Plus a couple of days ago, but they were still very itchy and sore. I read that the sulphur is supposed to keep them from reinfesting (possibly), and it is supposed to help them heal from the bites and stop itching. I'll give it 3x a day to my husband and son. We are watching for less back pain for both of them and better sleep patterns.

I don't know if it had anything to do with the remedy yesterday or not, but I took three naps! I had very good energy, but when I sat down and put my feet up, I slept! I did ice my foot, and that always puts me to sleep, so that was probably it. Also, my ankle was noticibly less swollen than usual. Icing doesn't make a difference in that, so I'm thinking it is the remedy. That is one of the areas it is supposed to target. My energy was so good that I was zipping around like I haven't done in years!

I did not sleep well last night, but I think I had too many carbs. I don't think it had anything to do with the remedy.

OK, that's it for now. Time to go fill out more applications...

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Flax Pancakes

Hi!

I'm trying to incorporate more flax into my diet and wanted something different for breakfast, so here it is.  This is not a soy free recipe, and I wouldn't trust soy protein to be gluten free unless it states so on the package.

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Flax Pancakes

Dry ingredients:

1/3 cup flax seeds ground to 2/3 cup or 2/3 cup flax seed meal

1/3 cup ground almonds

1/4 cup soy protein isolate

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon SteviaPlus

2 packets Splenda

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet ingredients:

1 egg

1/4 cup cream thinned to 1 cup with water

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Sugar free chocolate chips

In a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients. In another small bowl, combine the wet ingredients, then add them all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir them well, then let the batter rest for a few minutes so it can thicken up. You might need to add more water 1 tablespoon at a time to get it to the desired consistency. Pour the batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle and sprinkle about 10 - 12 chocolate chips on each pancake before flipping them. Serve hot with butter or peanut butter and sugar free syrup. For an extra treat, if you can manage the carbs, add some banana slices. Yum!

To me, these tasted like a really good whole grain pancake. I hope you enjoy them!

Blessings,

Doing well and a new "favorite" site!

I'm doing well. I've continued to improve with the adrenal treatment, but did seem to hit some sort of stall or stalemate. I have had trouble getting back on track with the diet. I did start the three days with my friends then we got flown to another State for a job interview. We didn't get the job, but it was a wonderful experience with terrific folks! It gave us a good taste of what we are hoping to get into, career-wise. I stayed perfectly on track while we were gone, but when we got home, I lost it. I just couldn't seem to go a whole day "on-track" food-wise. I've re-started as of yesterday. I can't say I've done perfectly, but I'm certainly giving it my best and I'm not giving up.

My plan is to do CAD -- eat basic Low Carb then allow myself dessert at dinner if we have something like that. I want to have a serving of legumes (beans) and a serving of flax each day if I can get it in.

I'm still having issues. My three worst are getting up a lot at night, a nagging cough and sleepiness during the day (fatigue.) I decided to see if I could find a homeopathic remedy for the first and I found this wonderful site: ABC Homeopathy. It has a section where it "interviews" you like having a formal meeting with a practicing Homeopath! Really rather phenomenal... I picked those worst three symptoms and did the assessment. I found my remedy (causticum) and went to Whole Foods and purchased 30C dosage.

It was amazing. Just like the very first time I had a homeopathic remedy from Dr. Prem Dev back 12 years ago! The first thing I noticed was a clearing of my vision. I can read small print I couldn't read earlier today now. Also, I saw my chiropractor today after my remedy. My whole body adjusted better than it has been doing unless I'm medicated with pain meds of some sort (naproxen usually.) She was impressed. I noticed an immediate increase in energy and a relaxation at the same time. I told my daughter it was like I could either go for a swim or take a nap at the same time! I took another dosage this evening and I walked faster and more exuberantly than I have in probably 4 or 5 years -- since before I injured my ankle. I only needed to stop and rest once and that was when we were walking on pavement.

I thought maybe I should re-take the test, thinking about my ankle and spine. When I did, I came up with some of the same remedies as before, but not the main one. Then, I decided to look up the properties of causticum. Wow! It is like all my symptoms are there!! Even some of the crazy things that happened to me in my youth, (right side paralysis specifically), are listed. It is really wild, unimaginable, but it is there nevertheless.

I'm going to try to get my hubby and my son to do the assessment and maybe there will be a remedy for their issues as well??
