I talked to Ames yesterday about her exercise plan. I'm quite impressed. I've been toying with the idea of being intentional about kicking some poundage. I know this is one of the worst times of the year to re-start such a lofty thing, but a Body-builder I know says "If you won't start now, then you're not really ready". OUCH!!!
I know all Dieters say the same ole' "I'll start Monday" garbage. Well, I'm not a Dieter, and I AM planning on starting Monday, or whenever I am well. I don't have any lofty 1 hr. plan. Just 2 mi./day like Dr. OZ says to do.
Why Monday? I picked up Pink Eye somewhere. What the heck? I called my Dr. yesterday asking him to call me in a RX. He called me back last night asking for my symptoms and diagnosed me over the phone (I love that my Dr. will still do this, and even knows who I am when he calls. Very rare now). He asked what I usually take for Conjunctivitis. I said that I've only had it 2x and I've taken an Rx as a child, then used breast milk once. He guffawed! "Breast MILK???? Where did you come up with that, did it work, and how did you get it into your eye?" were his pressing questions. I told him I tried it while in a Homeopathic phase, my SIL was nursing a child at the time, and she expressed some into a cup. I took a dropper and put it in my eye. Yes, it worked. Dr. laughed and then very seriously said "Well, if it worked I have nothing to say". The Rx He sent seems to be working rapidly, so with a weekend of rest, and healthy eating, I hope to be ready to rock on Monday.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

ALL RIGHT!!! See, that's what I am talking about. That's friendship, right there. Welcome to the wagon.
I have used breast milk for all sorts of things. And, it does work.
Last year, I treated a round of pink eye "naturally". It is a lot of work. But, I get squeamish about putting anything in my eyes.
I'm sorry, but I wouldn't even put my sisters breast milk in my eye. Thats just weird to me.
Sorry about the pink eyes. No fun for you. Hoping that medicine works soon.
If i lived near you I'd bring you a some oreo cake today to really give you something to work off come Monday!
OF COURSE you can!
I use lavender for pinkeye: fill up a little jar with water and two or three drops of lavender essential oil. Shake it like the dickens, and quickly (before the water and oil separate) wet a cotton ball. Swab the closed eye, from the tear duct out. Repeat a LOT, like, 15 times a day. Works like a hot diggidy, and at least as fast as the prescription medication.
Oh, I love natural rememdies.
You can do it!
I squirted breast milk up all my babies' noses when they were sick & I was nursing.
Hope you feel better soon.
How's the exercise coming along?
