Health

Recently, I have been having a lot of health issues and have had to go to the doctor a few times, and while I am not going to elaborate past that on here.. bascially I have been feeling horrible. My doctor asked me to start keeping a food jounral to see if anything can be alleviated by cutting out any particular food or drink. So I have been doing this for about a week and I have realized that I eat very poorly. I used to be a vegetarian.. well almost, I have always eaten fish. But I stopped doing that about a year ago when Erik and I first moved in together because I didn't want to have to make tw different dinners. But, Erik is great, and told me he doesn't mind eating mostly vegetarian again. So, I am thinking I might need to go back to that. (I will REALLY miss buffalo wings... for some reason they are pretty much the only meat food I love). 

So, here I go. Also, I have been looking into cutting my caffeine intake because I am not sure it makes me feel good and also cutting down on gluten. So, here is an experiment that I am willing to try. First things first, I need to figure out a plan for grocery shopping where I don't just buy everything I think looks good, but instead go in there with my weekly plans set out. And, I need to start eating a better breakfast, exercising, doing yoga, cutting down on alcohol, and setting up a sleep schedule. All of this will come easier once I start work again and have a set time to arrive at work. But I need to start now so that the transition is easier. 

So. Wish. Me. Luck. 

Weekend Adventures: Hiking Multnomah Falls

Bottom of the Falls

Looking at Washington

The day was amazing! Erik and I hiked to the top of the falls at Multnomah Falls, which is about 40 minutes east of Portland.  Erik had to push me to do my best and I am so happy I listened because thew view was spectacular and everything once you got to the inside of the ridge was so amazingly beautiful! That is where that stream in the pictures is! Then, after we made it to the top and came all the way back down, we visited Erik's school so that I could look around the campus, then stopped off at Thirsty Lion Bar and Grill for lunch!

What did you do this weekend??

Happy Weekend Adventuring!
