People who snore always fall asleep first

Went to bed at 10:30 last, night realized this morning... pink eye was back! great! no.. not great. I hate pink eye. i think that it is either from my makeup remover, or my eye liner, i have to experiment... but I don't like experimenting. Anyway, this morning I ALSO woke up to a charlie horse! FUNNN!!! NOOOO! So I ended up not going to school because I was sensitive to almost everything!Plus I was SUPER tired, a lot more tired than normal! Even my madre was worried! So I went back to sleep, not to mention sweat like crazy ( I was wearing a sweatshirt and sweat pants- no wonder), but I slept until 2:30! ---hint the title!

And on top of all of this, my poor baby kitty came home last night with the whole top right side of his head beaten up: giant bump (HUGE), hair gone, blood everywhere, and eye half shut. Mommy says, if we take him to the vet, they would probably have to put him down, but this is the sweetest cat on earth we are talking about, and if he doesn't die from going to the vet, I think he will die of the depression of not being allowed to go outside. I feel so bad for him :( and there is nothing I  can do.
Dinner last night went great! She loved it, she is (for the most part) also a macrobiotic. We had spaghetti squash, rice and millet, amazing lentil soup (with a hint of lemon.. yummy), brussel sprouts ( i know I'm weird, i like them), and baby bok choy! then my dessert worked out wonderfully! mhmm mhmmm. except it was a little big! hahahah, but that's okay, I think the more oats and jelly the better! Right?

and I know I haven't been posting lately, I have to get back to that, but I try! there is a lot going on. When your 14 , have high school, and a blog... that's a lot!
Talk To You Soon!
FYI- if u didn't know if you click in the water, up by the fish, you can feed them... quite entertaining!

MISOOOOO hungry!

Prednisone. I have nw started prednisone, which makes you pretty much, ALWAYS hungry. I have a new snack also! MISO. I have a new specialty... all made/discovered my ME. It all started when.... one night I got really hungry while watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail- stupid- so I was like, "I want something light, but with a good taste, and some noodles.... SOUP!" that's when it hit me. I brought out the miso, got the miso master and put that to the side. Boiled the water, added left of veggies from the night before, then a little fish, for protein and soy beans, also for protein. Next comes the best part.... seasoning! Cloves, Chives, Leaks, Oregano, Scallions, and Herbamere. Yum Yum Yum Yum YUMMY!!!! Then last but not least, the MISO! Its as simple as THAT! the best part is, you can cook it up in like 5 minutes, oh and I forgot the noodles! just throw in a handful of noodles (precooked). nom nom nom nom.
Well, anyway.. .I have also fallen in love with sushi! I never thought I would like it, until now! Its heavenly! I could eat everyday, for every meal! thats actually whzat I had for lunch today, with some MISO soup and greens! ironic!
Tonight, we are having a guest for dinner! So I get to do the honors of... dessert. :)
so tonight, dessert is going to be a small amazake pudding/ drink type thing and some fruit oatmeal bars <3
wish me luck!
well, I am going to go do my homework and get working on dessert!
GOD BLESS!!
GO HEALTHY PEOPLE!!!!

Pain, Pain, and MORE Pain!

My stomach has been fine, up to today..... i don't know what happened! I have not had stomach pain AT ALL!!!!!!! and the pain that I did have today only lasted about 20 minutes. Now I have a bigger problema! My leg KILLS me! I have been on crutches for the past two days.... and today my arm( bicept) started hurting me. I hate crutches with a burning passion.... I used to love them as a kid, joking around with them and pretending that I had a broken leg, but now that I have an injured leg, and actually need crutches, it changes everything! Oh, and what else is back? BUT MY PINK EYE!!!! ISNT IT WONDERFUL!? NO! its not! It stinks! Another antibiotic (eyedrops) for my eye, and Cream (for my nose) which is surprisingly helpful right now! Except it turns ur nose white, and it looks wierd, mommy says that it is my white blood cells coming to the surface to help it heal! How cool is that!? U never knew that they came OUT of your body, let alone your nose! Well, at least I didnt know that!
Wellllllll, I am going tro go finish my western world homework that I don't understand at all :D yay fun!

10 days down..... only a year left! WOOHOO!!!

I have ALL NEW BLOOD!!!!! YAYYYYY!!!!!
Ginny said that when you have 10 straight days of strict healing diet.. your blood cells change...in a good way!
Yesterday was that 10th day!
At Whole Foods they have these very small dark chocolate earth balls (the tinfoil around the chocolate has a picture of the globe on it)...... when I do good I get 1, but I don't get more than 2 a week :(
I am going to my first movie (from when I can't have THEIR snacks) tomorrow. so tonight I made my first ever.... RICE BALLS!!!!! they are QUITE fun, and very messy :/ haha
It is so much more simple than you would think:
  • Get rice
  • large bowl of water (normal sized)
  • strips of Nori
  • and umoboshi plum (in small pieces)
  1. Wet your single strip of Nori
  2. Make a tight ball in your palm with your rice
  3. squeeze the umeboshi into the middle
  4. finish rapping the ENITRE rice ball until secure
  5. DO AGAIN and AGAIN... then keep in fridge over night or even for a few nights ;)
So those are ONE of the things I am bringing tomorrow. I am also going to bring my amazing. delishious BOILED nuts! And DON'T forget the cereal :O
Last but not least, my rice cakes.... (we will be seeing two movies.... so we will be there for a while!)
Anyway... Last but not least... my mini rice cakes they are quite small, AND delishious! They are about the size of when you connect your thumb and your first finger... They are plain salted, and thats all :)
I am planned to have a great time! Well I have (for some reason) been getting really tired really early lately, so I am going to go get in the shower and go to bed! NIGHT GUYS!!!!!



Should I even say it? Yes.....

Snack Time

I am leaving tomorrow! NO! I don't want to leave!
I love it here in TN. Life is sweet. Getting these amazing meals made for me, always having a "good" snack around, and help.
Ginny went to the store to get some snacks for our ride home :) ME like snacks! She was going to make me rice crispy's, but they didn't have the right stuff :'( *tear* so she got these really good cereal puffs called puffins. They are delicioso! Escpecially when you add almonds, cashews, and walnuts;) . (keep in mind, don't eat raw nuts, always cook/blanch them) I had that snack today, and now I know my main snack. I also discovered, in our messed up world of ours, Tahini! I put it on my rice cakes, and then I use SUGAR FREE jelly, smuckers doesn't count, and yum.
Well, Keep these in mind. For other GREAT snacks you can buy Ginny's book, I don't know it off the top of my mind, but I guarantee that it is on her website : http://www.youcanheayou.com

The beginning to my HEALING! :D

HI AGAIN!!!!!
Well, I have been at Ginny's house since Monday now. I created this blog actually while I have been here. On Monday, my first day I remember I didn't think I was going to like this diet (its macrobiotics <-- it even sounds nasty), but turns out it was AMAZING! We had rice, barley, and spelt for BREAKFAST, stir fry and lentil soup for LUNCH, and broccoli, lentil loaf(like meatloaf, but less..... meaty), spaghetti squash, udon noodles, and broccoli pickles ALL for DINNER!
Be honest.. how AMAZING does that sound!? Pretty good right? It was!
After dinner I had this small glass of aloe juice and other immune juice (i'll post pictures eventually),surprisingly it tastes like a really good like fruit juice!That night I used an ionized machine on my feet. It pulled out all the bad and nasty stuff out. I even had parasite, and again I will post pictures eventually.
Now that was all Monday. Now time for Tuesday.
Waffles without flour?! Yes. It IS possible, and it is pretty good! I got a ginger compress on my back that day, and the next, you do it for three days in a row, that means my last one is tonight. I am quite excited. You lay on your tummy while watching TV and she puts a HOTTTTT towel on your back and you lay there for about 20 minutes and she(Ginny) is always lifting it up and dipping it in the hot water again.
Well, I don't understand this book we are reading for English, so my mom is going to take me to the movie store and hopefully we find the book, wish us luck!
I hope we don't get lost. Oh goodness.
COMMENT!!!! OR QUESTION!!! !PLEASE! I like reading them!

My First Post

Hi Everyone!
I am Harley,and this is my first blog. EVER. I was diagnosed with crohns at the age of 13, in December 2009. I am now 14, soon to be 15. I have been on stupid NG tube feeds for 13 (and a half) months. Except, THIS WHOLE month, I havent been doin them!!!! YAYY!!!! I have had severe crusty nose, and runny nose, and a crohnic sore throat, so mother dearest let me stop for a while :) .
 I was on Remicade ( which I thought wasn't too bad, other than sitting in the hospital for 6 hours, and having constant upper respiratory issues), but now Remicade doesn't work for me. I am on humira. I have only had 2-3 doses. I don't want to take Humira. I want to try to heal my crohns through diet *(hint to the name of my blog)*
I was hesitant beginng humira, except I HAD to take the first dose, because I was in the hospital, then the second dose never came in the mail. PROBLEM? NOPE (well, not in my case)! I was luvin' it! I was trying a healthier diet. I wanted to keep trying, but I kept sneaking in small snacks that I shouldn't have been having, and of course I kept on getting worse. My mother finally came to me and said that I had to take the (stupid) humira. I agreed (not willingly). I took it, even though it was EXCRUCIATINGLY painful! *(another reason I absolutely HATE humira)*
I have decided that I am not going to sneak in any more little snacks. I am going to try a macrobiotic diet, and I am going to heal, just like my new friend Ginny did (her website listed at bottom). I want to be JUST like her. I want to not be on any meds, until I die,or turn old and HAVE TO go on meds. Anyway, I want to eat well, which as I have been told by my sister is cool, especially before your sweet 16 party.
I hope this diet works out and I will try to post a lot!!! LEAVE COMMENTS!!! !PLEASE!
