I don't feel good this morning. Upset tummy. Weight 182.
Those veggies had butter in them. Oopsie! I have to start over. Glad I realized it NOW and not later! Haven't eaten. Tired. Stressed. Sad.
Baked yukon gold potato with ghee, table salt and pepper, braiswd pork loin with caramelized onions, cooked in chicken broth. Tired. Dreamed about a baby. Wierd! Hurt. Gonna take advil. Also, had a bath w epsom salts today. Feeling meh.
It's that time. I had brussels sprouts with ghee for lunch, half a banana, a slice of watermelon and cashews for a snack.
Steamed veggies with 2 eggs fried in EVOO and coffee. David took dogs to the pasture. Waiting for the exterminator.
Small salad with baby bell peppers, grape tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, fresh lime juice, tajin seasoning, salt, pepper and a salmon filet cooked in olive oil, with smoked paprika, salt, pepper and tajin seasoning. Black coffee, water.
Making this week's menu. Remember self, just eat real food.

Some small aches and pains in my back, tight muscles.
Fixin to take magnesium and turmeric supplements.
Update: I only ate half. It's ok to not finish your plate!
Pain today! The large gap in reporting from May to June is that I wasn't in pain! This started this past week, I don't work at Mrs. W's any more and I don't know what is causing it. My bloating/ water retention was way up. I thought maybe I got glutened. The pressure is slightly slow, but it went up and down the past month and no bother. I also ran out of my multi vitamin that has vitamin d amd calcium.
It could be the inflammation. I've cut out red meat, eggs, dairy (I had a tablespoon of parmesan cheese last night. Ooopsie ), corn and grains. It's only been a few days. I had a spoonful of tater salad.
I want to go paleo 100% hardcore. The meat and eggs is because of the inflammation... the waterfall diet. I eat fish, chicken and some pork. I atopped taking advil. I just took 2 aspirin. Will keep trying to figure this out. The journaling helps. Oh and I need to journal my supplements!
Plan: take multi vitamin, magnesium, turmeric, vitamin c, calcium, probiotics, fish oil, eat more fish, veggies and fiber, healthy fats, Tomatoes and rice, less coffee and no alcohol. No junk food, potatoes, juice, chocolate, SUGAR, fast food, beans, corn, etc. Rice is ok, especially reheated. I did very well on rice and I beat the constipation with it. Maybe some broth. Stay low carb... 50 to 80. I got this.
Oh new job cleaning houses. I need to practice sheilding.
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.
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.
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.
Yesterday's recorded steps 6334, 3 miles.
Pressure 29.66, crazy thunder storms, power outage, No Joint Pain. Dr. Ferry suggested it could be something in Mrs. W.'s house effecting me, since I don't hurt at home. I brought the ibuprofen, just in case.
Sun burn is still tender, still spotting slightly with cramping, slight headache, still constipated. Muscles were a bit stiff, did my stretches. I noticed the spotting stops after a few hours.
Breakfast: scrambled eggs (from a carton) with mango pico de gallo, coffee from Stripes, water, multi vitamin, turmeric, magnesium and fish oil.
Sat, 20 grams of fiber and Sun 14 grams.
Pooop. Went over my carbs again. Drinking cranberry juice for my bladder!! Should just take the pills instead! I skipped lunch but snacked on some almonds and walnuts. Dinner was pork fajita salad with kale.chips and a black forest shake. Im nom nom. No sugar added! I gave my notice to Comfort Keepers on Monday and I start my training at JC Penney's today.
My last two posts are stuck in blogger limbo still publishing. I am relaxing on the comfy sofa that just got new pillows and a slipcover. I am in heaven. Ahhhhhh! Like David says, there is no resisting it.
I had a weird day that started at 2:30 am when I woke up sweating and with heartburn. I fell asleep hours later and had a nice nap, but I was cold and needed a heavy cover. Weird, right? Even David took the day off and slept off and on throughout the day. I ate too many carbs, had no allergic reactions, but had some stomach problems. I think I got contaminated with gluten through the dog food. With five dogs to feed I need to be careful; maybe wear gloves. I got new bowls to prevent contamination, also. Grain and gluten free dog food is PRICEY.
Snack: small banana
Breakfast: 2 rashers uncured bacon, eggs fried in virgin coconut oil and kale with garlic.
Lunch: rosemary salmon with black grapes, purple cauliflower and cucumber spears.
Dinner: slow cooked spicey pork shoulder roast, a tiny sweet potato with butter, spinach and a black forrest smoothie. Turns out I don't like cooked spinach and I gave most to David. The smoothie was completely paleo and really hit the spot. This is why I went over my carbs. I had two bananas today. Le sigh! I'm doing well considering PMS! Not posting pictures because of the last two posts in limbo! Laters!
Ooopsie. Been so busy I forgot to blog! Today I had an omelette stuffed with last night's chicken stirfry with bok choy. Lunch was a boiled egg, cucumber salad and sauteed kale. I think the cucumber salad gave me gas and bloating. Yuck! Dinner was efficient. Ground beef, onion, zucchini, turnip greens, garlic, salt, pepper, hot sauce. Mehhh.
I ate quickly so I could take Tessa shopping.
Oh... What was I busy with? Drove to south east Houston (Pasadena) to adopt two dogs!!! Had a second interview, etc.
Yesterday we helped family move, came home, had lunch, fell asleep, barbequed, had dinner, and rearranged the house because we got some "new" furnature. Breakfast, eggs, coffee, coconut milk. Lunch asian zoodles with meatballs. Dinner barbeque ribs with a spicey dry rub, soaked applewood chips over charcoal, turnip greens, grilled onion and green pepper. I didn't like the pepper.
When payday comes we are getting slip covers, art, and a centerpiece for the table.
