I am still taking fish oil but not sure I want to since it's not vegan. What do you think about chia and flax? I know about that whole parents not wanting to change their diet in spite of their health. My dad has heart disease and refuses to change his diet too.<br>Hi Kristy! I am reading Crazy Sexy Diet right now, and it's great. I kind of thought I wouldn't like it, that it would be too flaky or something, but it's full of good information and it's a fun read as well. I am feeling much better now - thanks! Even did my speed work this week. :)<br>portiahttp://profile.typepad.com/runportiarunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344541164954459033.post-40370790947683341522013-05-08T14:25:59.000-04:002013-05-08T14:25:59.000-04:00I love Crazy Sexy Cancer, her book, the Crazy Sexy...I love Crazy Sexy Cancer, her book, the Crazy Sexy Diet is amazing, highly recommend.<br>Hope you start feeling better!<br>Kristy @ PghRunner.comhttp://pghrunner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344541164954459033.post-87645240686880937592013-05-08T08:36:54.000-04:002013-05-08T08:36:54.000-04:00I didn't realize you have MS... my dad also ha...I didn't realize you have MS... my dad also has it. Good for you for taking such good care of yourself diet-wise. He could definitely cut some junk out of his, but I don't think he's all that willing to! I also know that omega 3s are HUGE for MS... fish oil is a great supplement, too. In any case, you're right. Rest will not hurt you. Hope your full strength is back asap!<br>Laura @ Mommy Run Fasthttp://mommyrunfast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344541164954459033.post-53082085292055951372013-05-06T13:52:17.000-04:002013-05-06T13:52:17.000-04:00Christina - I completely understand the birthday p...Christina - I completely understand the birthday party slip ups. It's challenging for me to deal with workplace lunches and parties. I love your idea of having a spinach and fruit bowl at night. I just ate two mangoes like I was some kind of caveman. ME EAT FRUIT! ME LIKE!<br>Beth - It is so interesting, isn't it? Especially with a chronic disease like MS or IBS. It seems like everyone has something these days. I hope you write about your gluten-free adventures sometime. I've tried it a few times and I went a bit crazy each time, but right now I'm focusing on whole foods and lots of fruits/veggies and it's easier to deal with low/no gluten. But one of these days I'm going to get a mad pizza craving!<br>portiahttp://profile.typepad.com/runportiarunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344541164954459033.post-45008651486610058342013-05-06T08:58:43.000-04:002013-05-06T08:58:43.000-04:00I'm glad to hear things are getting back on tr...I'm glad to hear things are getting back on track for you. I have become fascinated the past few years with how different foods react in my body. I have slowly switched to more veggies and away from meat and recently have cut out gluten after hearing that was good for us peeps with MS. Wishing you continued healing from this recent MS relapse.<br>Beth @ Miles and Trialshttp://Www.milesandtrials.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344541164954459033.post-53375379212984614142013-05-06T00:14:31.000-04:002013-05-06T00:14:31.000-04:00I completely understand the plant based eating.

I've been diagnosed with IBS which is often the 'catch-all' for having some kind of sensitive digestive system but the doctor is not sure exactly what the issue is. I've found plant based diets are my best method too, keeping things flowing smoothly. I try to eat a huge spinach/fruit bowl every evening (I just posted about it, ha ha) and it really helps. It's hard to stay perfect with any kind of dietary method, I have slip ups, like a kids birthday party for example, but somehow if I go heavy of leafy greens it really seems to help me the most. Not cruciferous veggies, though. Those are a little rougher for me :) Hope you get to feeling good and back on track soon with your training!<br>Christinahttp://www.movablemom.comnoreply@blogger.com
