I finally made the thread for those of us who are scheduled for May 15th. It'll be fun to hear how all of us are doing during our journeys. Feel free to share!

There are many of us on pre-ops now and some have a few days. Just about a week left!!! How awesome and exciting it is! ?

Dont forget to FOLLOW the thread!

On another note, I'm with you @Apple1, about not posting, getting involved with some threads/statuses that are chaotic and dramatic. I've done my best to encourage a certain individual lately and I won't respond to the next status that was posted. I'm not taking sides (especially when I don't know the full situation). I don't fully approve of outing names either, so, yeah. I'll be sticking to this thread and my lone statuses when I finally post one.

I think that is the best course. I hate the negativity. It is like some people just can't let anything drop or agree to disagree. Life is too short to let some stranger on the internet effect you so strongly. It feels like some people are back to high school days with all the drama they create..

Trying to eat good and well away from home with camp food.

What kinds of food? I can imagine a lot of trail mix and jerky during camping. I'm sure bringing protein drinks could be good too. Sounds like fun though!

I had been really unhealthy and when I went to the DR we are healthy and I was super active. I was on a mission trip to meet my sponsored child. I had also been trying to be healthier for a couple of months so I cut back in sugar. I think my liver had definitely been bad before.

That's great! Onward and upwards to better health!! ?

Oh and to be physically well to be on missions is especially important. Good for you!

I am going to take plenty of my own food to supplement. We have something at every meal I should be able to eat, but there will be lots of carbs too. Sandwiches for lunch, which I will be prepared for. I am looking forward to it, but I know 6 nights camping with 12, 10-15 year olds will be a good test of my endurance and patience. My grandson and my niece will both be along, and it will be Isaiah's first camping trip.

It will be a blessing I am sure. I want to be prepared though.

Thank you!!!

We will need all the prayers we can get...lol There will be 3 of us leaders along and one 19 year old volunteer so hoping we will have all of our bases covered. We usually only take the kids for weekends, but this is a special trip with all of the different clubs in our church conference coming, so there will be lots of kids around.

I will be sure and try to post some photos during the trip.

I finally purchased Proteinaholic! I used reward points I had on Amazon to get it, so nothing out of my pocket. I should be getting it in a couple of days. I'm sure my husband might find it fascinating too. He told me this morning that he feels the difference between trying to gain/bulk up before (with all the protein drinks, meats, etc) and now (with plant based eating). He says he feels more alert and healthy and that the muscle that he's building is here to stay. Before, if he quit working out for a few days, it'll relax. Now, it's different. I wouldn't know now, in regards to muscle building, but I hope I feel the same. I've started my weights again, so we shall see.

I'll share from the book. Not a ploy to convert anyone to plant based, obviously. Lol. But that we might all grow in knowledge and wisdom together. If it makes sense and if science can back it up, then it can be truth. I'm all about truth. We can see how it might apply to us or not apply. Should be interesting. ?

Goodnight!

I look forward to hearing what you are learning from the book. I always want to be open to new ideas and truths. It is how we grow. It should be interesting.
