I received a comment on my blog from another blogger who asked permission to blog about my site (Yes, I'm aware that I just used the word "blog" three times in one sentence). This was a first and completely made my day! I actually hope it's a first of many since I really want to share my blog with other people, especially other Swankers. I remember when I started the Swank diet and I felt sooo limited in what I could eat. I was so freaked out thinking that I would accidentally cheat, that I pretty much just ate grilled chicken and veggies for a couple of weeks . Yummy, right? I knew I couldn't continue long that way. Later on I found the message board on the Swank site were other Swankers share their recipes. I was so happy! I had tried a couple of recipes from the diet book that were not great, and these people had tried and true recipes that sounded amazing. These Swankers were so helpful to me and they are what inspired me to start blogging, especially since I don't know of any other people on our diet that do.
Anyway, meet Rae, another blogger and person with MS. Her blog, In It For The Parking (Awesome name!), is about her life and her MS and I already love reading it. She has a great story and awesome attitude, something that I find most people that try Swank do. I think the group of us that are willing to cut out butter, chocolate, fatty cheese, and a bunch of other awesomeness out of our diet are pretty positive go-getters that are willing to do anything to gain control of our illness! :). Rae doesn't seem to let MS get the better of her, which I really love. She is trying out Swank for the first time and stumbled across my blog, which I hope she finds works for well for her and makes her feel better soon!
Below is the link to her blog entry and nod to Tasty Treats by Michi. Thanks again for the blog love, Rae! The things you wrote about it were so awesome and completely made my New Years. You have given me a little boost to continue blogging regularly, and have made me want to blog even now from the hospital bed! :)
