Lungs and Breathing

Did you know that 75% of the toxins you eliminate will leave your body through your respiration?   That's why deep breathing exercises are so important.  -The Candida Cure

We all should stop and do this 2-3 times a day.  It also brings us more aware of where we are and what we're doing and it also allows us to slow down.  I know I don't do this enough, and certainly my 7 year old doesn't.  How do I get her to slow down enough to do that?  It's just another thing to add to the regimen.

After last night's fiasco, I didn't want her to eat too much today.  She had her standard rice cereal and water.  For lunch I gave her brown rice and water.  This meal sounds like something that would be served in prison.  Bland and boring.   I thought the rice would help sooth the tummy.  For snacks, she had popcorn, tollhouse crackers, raspberries and her supplement shake.  I wasn't sure about the popcorn, but I thought the crackers might help her tummy too.

Today I had a follow up appointment with Jeannette's alternative medical doctor.  He's still concerned as to why she's still getting the UTI's.  He's quite stumped, as am I.  He said to go back on the U-tract/Mannose supplement.  He said that it's not a harmful supplement to be on long term.  I'm not comfortable with her being on anything long term, so I have my doubts, but she was off the U-tract for a week and then gets another UTI?  But what about from Jan-Mar?  She wasn't taking the U-tract then and didn't have an infection, so what the heck?  Again, I'm stumped.  So back on the U-tract she goes.

For dinner tonight, she had leftover chicken with ketchup and parmesan cheese.  She also had another brownie.  Again, she wasn't loving them, but ate them anyway.

Tonight I was reading the cookbook from the Meal Makeover Mom's and there was one sentence that stuck out at me.  Janice said that she goes by the 90/10 rule.  If her children are eating healthy 90% of the time, then she's not going to sweat the other 10%.  That is so true.  If I can get to that comfort level, I think I'll be fine.  We're definitely moving in that direction.
