New Year's Resolutions...

I've never been one for resolutions, I've never found them to work really well-but I guess resolving to lose 50# by February is just setting one up for disaster :rolleyes:

This year, however, I've come to the realization that I'm really not happy with who I am right now and there are a few things I need to fix, for myself, not for anyone else. BUT, instead of 1 life changing resolution that I can't live up to, I'm going to make a small resolution at the beginning of each month to focus on-small changes to hopefully equal a big overall change. I want to be the happy person I used to be and become a calmer, more easygoing person I've had difficulty with my entire life. I want to appreciate me for me and finally accept who I am-and I know that part of that is to be a healthier, more life-aware person.

So, for January my resolution will be:

1. Add 1 more veggie a day

2. Remember to take my mood vitamins- vit. D, calcium and magnesium

I think that's a great idea!!

My resolution is to learn to use my digital camera and take one picture a day every day this year!

Rachelle, I really like your idea. I wish you all the luck in achieving your goal for 2009! :)

My New Years resolution is to accept more invitations and to have more fun.

When I got sick I withdrew from everything....mainly because I was just too sick to enjoy myself. I'm doing much better now but its still hard for me to throw caution to the wind and get out there and do things the way I would have prior to my illness.

For 2009 I want to make more effort to say YES when people invite me to go out. Its time to start having more fun. :)

Its time to start having more fun. :)

I fully agree!! It's about darned time too! :)

Happy New Year everyone! Thank you for all of your help and support this last year and 1/2, I really appreciate every one of you!

Cheers to you too Rachelle! :D

Great idea, Rachelle. I never make resolutions either because I can never carry them through for the whole year. I like the idea of a monthly one. Hmm,

My January resolution will be to figure out how to balance family and work better. I work from home.

I still have 2 1/2 hours and I've just come up with another resolution. :)

I need to remind myself that its not in my best interest to be open about my experiences in the presence of close minded people. I need to remember that some people have alot of negative energy that they need to release and thats ok....some people hold onto things while others prefer to move on. I'm someone who doesnt like negative energy so my resolution is to ignore those types of people and to just say a silent prayer for them instead of getting dragged down by the negativity.

I think this resolution kind of goes with my previous resolution....which was to have more FUN! :D

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
