Allergic Avery

It looks like we have some answers on sweet Avery.  Her allergy results are in and she is allergic to milk, soy and beef.  The poor girl was not absorbing the proteins we were giving her.  We now have her on a special hypo-allergenic drink called EO 28 Splash.  It has a really high caloric content that hopefully will help her weight catch up.  It’s funny, after 2 weeks she is already looking much rounder.  She feels heavier too.  She has her 15 month appointment and I think we’ll find that she has really gained.  Thank you Jesus.  I’m not thrilled about the allergies… but it certainly is a less severe answer than we could have had so I will count my blessings.

Weight wise Jeff is rocking the diet.  He has lost 15 lbl.  I have lost 8.  I already feel better but have a ways to go.  My goal is 25 lbs to get back into all my old jeans.

In a few weeks I would really like to start the P90X workout with Jeff in the mornings.  Any of you have experience with that.  I hear it is really kick butt.  I’m so ready to get cut again.

I have also nixed Diet Coke from my diet.  It kills me.  I love diet coke and practically took it in my bottle as a baby.  BUT the whole thing about Diet Coke turning to formaldehyde in the body really freaks me out.  I know that aspartame is so horrible for you.  I have known I needed to make this choice for a long time… I think I’m finally ready.  I have to do it for my kids.  I want to live long and be healthy and vibrant for their children and possibly my great grand children someday.

Today I am ill.  I think it is either a bad cold or the flu.  Fun huh?  I think this long week worked one on my immune system.
