#47 Don't Like Food Issues

I've been trying to eat well since my diagnosis. Flaxseed and blueberries!  There are endless foods that really can help me prevent recurrence!  But now that I know I start chemo in 2 days, I'm scared about what I will be able to eat and what I'll want to eat and if I'll even be able to keep anything down. I've been told by some caring friends, to eat what I want, right now!

So yesterday, Don and I went to one of our favorites places,  Mori Ichi.
​I  heard sushi's not a good idea during chemo. I will miss this for 12 weeks, if that's true! 

Being limited about foods and activities reminds me of being pregnant.  But I didn't mind giving up coffee and wine for my babies.   

So I have years ahead of good eating.  And I have 2 days before chemo.  So I've made sure to squeeze in a few things that I'm not so sure about later... like Mexican food!

Sweet Cheryl met me for lunch.  She was patient waiting for me, since I went to the wrong local Mexican restaurant... which also starts with "L".  (I told her it must have been my pre-chemo brain)  We even had margaritas, which is exciting since I've tried to stick with red wine, lately. We talked about lots of things, including our moms. Cheryl and I met when our moms were roommates 8 years ago. Our mother's had Alzheimer's but they were fun and feisty and decorated their room with an Obama poster. Cheers to our moms!

And last night Don and I had a little tiki-time beside the pool.  Again, this may not be the healthiest choice, but mine had lots of juice! Cheers again!

​This one was for my mental health! 

In two days I'll focus again on healthy eating, drinking and exercise, at least when I can!  I won't have the motivation of doing it for "the baby", though.  Then again, I can do it for me... and my grown babies!
