My eye is still clear, my clothes are looser and my allergies are better than they&#8217;ve been in 20 years! I take a tiny <em>Loratadine<\/em> daily, when everything is in full bloom. However, in the past this just wasn&#8217;t enough if I sat on the soccer field, clipped bushes or cut the grass. Here I am, outside enjoying spring without any added reaction, WOHOO!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m amazed at how smoothly meals are running from breakfasts of: hot tea and kale\/spinach &amp; banana\/berry smoothies, to a mid-morning porridge of 2Tbl. ground flax and chia with stevia. Lunch: a Big salad (quickly thrown together in the early morning rush) and \u00a0snack: a &#8220;protein-ball&#8221; (almond butter, ground chia, oatmeal &amp; raisins). Dinners vary a bit: heavy on cooked veggies with some kind of beans or a grain (like quinoa or brown rice). Dessert favorite by far: fruit ice-cream (just frozen fruit&amp; water, blended).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all very tasty to me and something I actually crave. My son, recently leaned on the counter and commented, <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s just amazing that someone can change their eating habits over the course of a month.&#8221;<\/em> Hah, I guess I&#8217;m walking proof. It&#8217;s taken a good bit of experimentation to pick out what really works for me, but I&#8217;m determined and it&#8217;s paying off.<\/p>\n<p>My life in general has been like that. God seems to use this formula time and again. He shows me what needs to change, then offers a hopeful solution. I try, sometimes fail, but I keep on learning. Through each experience I gain new wisdom. these custom-made lessons, bring me closer to becoming more like Jesus. Whether something big or small, looking to Him has proven: God never fails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ForGlorySake!<\/strong><em> -Anna<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"857\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/img_2266.jpg?resize=640%2C857&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/img_2266.jpg?resize=765%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 765w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/img_2266.jpg?resize=224%2C300&amp;ssl=1 224w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/img_2266.jpg?resize=768%2C1028&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/img_2266.jpg?resize=1568%2C2099&amp;ssl=1 1568w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/img_2266.jpg?w=1936&amp;ssl=1 1936w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/img_2266.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Gardenias, by anna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve accomplished two months on this plant-based lifestyle.
