I have posted a couple of times since joining the site, and everyone is wonderful! I wish that i was able to get on here more often as i think it would help my mood & motivate me more… but, work has to be, and i have to go … lol (crappy as my job is). Anyway, questions: Exercising for someone who is not active? What are some things I can start with (not walking outside, at least not right at this point ~ it is just to ‘big’ outside and i get dizzy…(i really have been bad to my body for years!) and i am still a smoker (grossest habit ever!)...any suggestions on craving deterents would be oohh so welcome! :) I have an idea to start the whole raw experience, and any responses would be appreciated… I want to start off my day with green smoothies ( i love greens and fruit, so it shouldn’t be that hard), for lunches i want to do one week with every lunch having steamed food or something of that nature, and for suppers salads or the taco’s from this site (although it was good the first time i made the walnut taco, i’m still tweaking it) and when i get a dehydrator i think things will be much easier. the second week i will cut the steamed food by one day and so on until i’m at least 80% and then i’ll go from there… does that sound like a good plan? Are sushi rolls considered raw? i love them so if they are not, does anyone have a viable subsitute?
Detoxing systems, what do i look for when i start? how do i know if i need to slow down the process or if i’m getting into a dangerous period?
Does anyone know if there are foods that could help aneurisms (i’m sure i spelled that wrong…lol) disapate or not occur? i’m asking that one because i just found out that i have to be tested for brain aneurisms because two of my uncles have had them, one is dead and now the other is in the hospital in a coma…it doesn’t look good for him.
okay, i have lots more questions and i’m sure (my husband would vouch for this one) i could vent for hours…lol… but i’ll close for now and write more later. Peace & Joy for all! christina

Hello everyone! Thank you for all the responses :)! Writeeternity, lol, sounds like a cool exercise…i’ll have to try it!
Spiritedmama, i agree that stretching would be great for me and have started them as of yesterday. I’m also looking into curves for women fitness center(it’s local and i have a two week trial free ).
Lindaintheraw,I live in upstate NY near ithaca. i’ll have to check into the potlucks. Smoking is a big one… I had a much easier time giving up pepsi and coke… and i am an emotional smoker ~ I pray alot that the desire goes away and that I just don’t want them anymore…lol..but I do know that God isn’t going to hit me with a two by four! :) I’ll get there, it’s just going to take a little time and I do have a plan as well for that (tricking my brain is tricky!).
diddiz, thanks for your response to the aneurisms question, I have a site that i regularly visit along with this one , put up by a Naturalpathic doctor. I took some of his herbs (all natural, no added anything) and started to feel great! Then money became tight, but i do plan to order some more stuff from his site once i quit smoking to help my lungs.
SocaL, thank you for your responses, we will have to agree to disagree about herbs & food not helping in the curing department :>... but i very much appreciate your responses as i learn something new everyday! I believe that what works for someone, works, and God gave each of us a unique processing system (the way we think). I do agree that Disease is not a normal state of the human body.
Anyways, i’ll write again soon! Thanks for all the supportive responses! ~Christina
Hello germin8! i’ll check into that when i can and let you know. Lindaintheraw, i’ll have to check those places out when i get the chance! thanks for the information. Starting a daily blog and tracking things sounds like a great idea… i tried that a couple of times and stopped i think because i would forget…lol…however, i will try it again and let you know how it goes (i’ll start thursday morning)! :) I am working on replacing smoking with something else, walking right now is not an option unfortunately, I have trouble walking outside because it is too ‘big’ and i get dizzy…probably due to panic attacks… anyway thanks again for the support! ~christina
I quit smoking last year. I had tried several times in the past to quit… cold turkey, using the patch, nothing worked. Then I finally cut down slowly over time. It took about six months of cutting out one or two cigarettes every few weeks, until I finally picked a day to quit. By then I was down to two a day, and it wasn’t bad at all. The cutting down slowly was still a bit painful, but it worked better than anything else I tried.
On the other hand, I had a friend once tell me that chewing a licorice root was the way to go: both your fingers and mouth are busy, plus it gives you a huge sweet jolt. I haven’t tried this, so can’t verify that it works, but I thought I’d mention it.
my friend quit smoking after 20 years with auricular therapy. its acupressure in the ear with electrical biofeedback or stimulation. she had one or two sessions, it was less than $200 and she has not had any cravings or issues at all. even when she’s around smokers or doing her routine that was formerly accompanied by a cigarette.
i hope this information is useful. she used http://www.drnasso.com/ in staten island, ny; but there are practitioners all over the country. good luck. it would be so great for you, Love4Life and spiritedmama, for your dad and brother, to be free to spend their money and energy on health promoting foods instead of on cigarettes!
