Yesterday’s women’s Bible study: Is my agenda in sync with his? I pray that I can seek his perspective and agenda for my life. I love this group. Real women dealing with real issues.
I had to go to the doctor’s office yesterday after I left church to get a referral for another mammogram. The doctor wants to check on some ‘density’ that is showing up on the left booby.
Have you had a mammogram lately? There’s pink everywhere and it’s Breast Cancer Awareness month. Did you know that Breast Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in women in America? Lung cancer is 1st. According to the University of Pennsylvania’s oncolink resource, 1 in 8 women will risk getting Breast cancer in their lifetime. So a mammogram is a great step in finding and treating it early.
I’ve been eating healthier foods in the past couple of months so that I can boost my immune system and loose weight. I know that being overweight increases my risk of getting cancer. Here’s a list of some cancer fighting foods. These foods will not prevent you from getting cancer but by boosting your immune system you can fight it better. The American Cancer institute encourages us to eat more fruits and veggies, because we simply don’t consume enough.
Vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, seaweed, swiss chard
Fruits: berries, grapefruit, pineapples, tomatoes
Also, add garlic, green tea, nuts and whole grains to your diet.
Remember, the choices we make, the foods we eat, and our physical activity levels — will all have a direct impact on our overall cancer risk.
I did some quickie groceries at Publix.

My son is loving these power bars…made from organic oats and soybeans
Between one thing and another I didn’t get my workout in during the day and decided to go for week3day2 of the couchto5k program with an evening run. NOT!FOR!ME! I can take a nice walk in the evening but my body just doesn’t want to run. Yes it was cooler out (not much) but I’m spent by evening. I’m going to have to create and stick with a schedule. I’m not a morning person. Let me explain, I can get up early and usually do (6:30a-7a) but my body’s not quite ready for a workout that early. That’s probably due to the fact that I go to bed so late. It’s been so hot here in South Florida that there is no way I can go and attempt a run in this heat any later. So I’m left with a dilemma challenge. Oh what to do?
I”m going to commit to getting to bed earlier (at least 11p). When I get up tomorrow, I’m going to eat something light and energizing lace up my shoes and go for my run/walk. I can do this! YES I can!
Well, here’s my eats for yesterday.
- Breakfast- egg whites, spinach, turkey omelet and Arnold thin bread, topped with fatfree cheese
- Lunch – spinach salad, cucumbers, tomato, edamame, avocado, balsamic dressing, chicken
- Dinner – Boca veggie burger, with spinach, tomato and guac spread
- snack- yogurt and pumpkin butter ..mmmmmmm
