Health

I haven't had any pain all weekend up and including today. The pressure dropped and still no pain in my joints/ muscles, other than the upper back.
But that's tension/posture.
I was slightly uncomfortable yesterday and i didnt take any ibuprofen. 
Had a low carb headache and i took some after it didn't go away.
Woke up at midnight thinking it was 5. Then 230. Then 4.

No pain to report.

Im upset that Brandy is failing and refuses to try at home. Idk what to do. Im so ANGRY at my ex for not doing a better job with the kids and at myself for letting him be a shitty fucking dad.

No achy pain today! Spine hurt, went swimming in Lake conroe,  cameho6me and david popped my back.  It felt so much better.  But afternoon came and no pain! I'd also eaten both potato and corn chips, sodas,  etc at the party.
Happy and grateful about that! Had strawberry bacon feta salad with pomegranate dressing and Fiesta potatoes. Tired.  Bed now.

Pressure is 30.03 No pain until 130 pm. Worst it's been so far. My ankles, shins, hips, back, all hurt! I took some advil. I passed out. Didn't want to get up but granddad was here. I feel flushed/feverish. It's 530 and I took 4 more advil.
Worked outside today raking and cleaning the pool. Wore sunblock.
These foods might be iffy:
Had some white wine. Had some feta cheese. Yesterday had some cashews. Had a few corn chips with my soup.
Quit taking the pill.
Epsom salt bath made me feel slightly better.

Dinners

Last night and tonight: halibut sandwich with aged cheese and tomato with California medley frozen veggies with aged cheese, butter and pink salt. I had none of the bad food.  I did have a bite of chocolate and some cranberry juice cocktail. 

Pain

Back pain is increasing but so is that same old same old whole body pain. Im fixin to only work out here 3 days a week. Then I'll see if it happens at home.

Health and wellness/Note to self

I haven't worked out all week. 
Pain level,  2 or 3 , spine / muscles only so I did some stretches.   Need to see chiropractor. Slept great, pain is less than usual, most likely because I took a soma last night. Pressure is 30.06, weather is good, it's sunny.
I went off the rails diet wise and ate all the nasty things. I made a pact with myself: I ate cheesecake and donuts and cookies and a cheese danish and gnocchi.  Now I can go another 2 years gluten free. Or longer! I need to remember how bad I feel when I eat:
Dairy/lactose (aged cheese is ok)
***No ice cream, milk, etc***
Wheat/gluten
Potatoes!!!!
Sugar
Corn!!!
Sodas!!!
Highly processed foods!!
Don't eat them Dawn! You will want to. Do not! I promise. You will feel pain deep in your body and experience mood changes!!! If you fall off the wagon, don't fall off more!!! Get back on! Saying, "oh well why not, I already hurt" will lead to a downward spiral of despair, self loathing, depression  and pain. No excuses!

Rice and oats are fine, in moderation. Occasional heavy cream, sour cream, grassfed butter, greek yogurt, ranch dressing, in moderation, is ok. Not every day!!
Gluten free pasta, once in a while, is ok!!
Paleo desserts, pancakes and breads are fine! Eat those instead! If you're going to add carbs, get them from honey, bananas,  real maple syrup, fruit!
Coconut milk smoothies!
Make better choices. You'll thank me, Dawn. You got this.
