I have just let life tie me down, and have not been as good at re-committing to my blog as I had intended. With back to school, me in school, Berkeley's chemo schedule, scouts, baseball, gynmastics.....I just have kinda been trying to survive. I have really fallen away from all the good things I was doing....MFP, IIFYM, the gym, my challenges....
What I have been thinking A LOT about is diet. And I don't really mean DIET as in to lose weight. I have been researching a lot about how diet can affect disease, and with Berkeley almost done with chemo, and having that as our safety net that the cancer will not return, I want to be sure I am doing everything I can do to keep her as healthy as possible and give her body all the opportunity to recover and be stronger than ever. What I have learned during this journey, is that for most of her treatments, she must be fully hydrated, and be in an alkiline state, before they even start the chemo push. So, aside from hydration, which is a no brainer....I have been doing a lot of research on Alkaline diets. I have had this recommended to me by more than one cancer survivor as well. It will be an adjustment, but do not think that it is far from what I have been trying to do anyway. It will definitely force me to plan and be prepared day in and day out.
If anyone has ANY recommendations and suggestions, please let me know....I just want to soak up as much information as I can.
