    My journey to getting well

    Today has turned into a wonderful encouraging day. THis morning I worked out my legs, I'm doing another 23 hour fast, Ithe 3rd in the last week, I've doubled the amount of exercise I typically do, and while I am some tired and fatigue, I'm functioning. I'm fine. That is one of the keys to...

    My journey to getting well

    Forgot to note down, my tongue is looking much better. The sore/markings appear to be healing, well more than appear, they are healing. The tongue looks quite good but not perfect. The old theory I've had that if i could ever figure out what causes the tongue sores will solve the gut problem...

    My journey to getting well

    Slight upset stomach today but nothing terrible. Energy levels remained high. Skin looks healthy. Strength is good. I landed on my left foot hard and noticed a slight twitch but nothing major. Normally when I accidentally land hard on the left foot it causes a lot of pain. Not today. I'll...

    My journey to getting well

    Well shoot, the laxative effect from fasting stuck this morning. Was hoping avoiding the nightshade family would get rid of that. Apparently not. Outside of that doing ok.

    My journey to getting well

    I'm doing decent today but I am feeling it fasting for the second time in 3 days. I'm a bit out of it. Most importantly though no laxative effect so far from fasting. that's what I'm monitoring with this latest round of trying to lose some weight. Goal this time is 160lbs, which in previous...

    My journey to getting well

    Yesterday I was having doubts creeping into my mind that nightshade is not the answer. Then I reminded myself of the left foot and the pain that has gone away. That straightened me out. That's the norm, having doubts abuot diets I'm on It is good that the left foot pain has gone away on this...

    My journey to getting well

    Doing better today though still a bit sore. Till pleased about the left foot not having those electric shocks since avoiding the nightshade family. Gut hanging in there. I'm a bit nervous about the gut in some respects. The bridge can have some long wait times and wouldn't want an upset...

    My journey to getting well

    165lbs, nearly 164lbs. I did fast yesterday which likely contributed to the tireness I felt. Doing alright this morning. Seems i've recovered quickly which is what I want to see. the all important left foot still feels good. No sharp pains since avoiding the nightshade family plus soy. The...

    Mama, ugh, I'm most certainly worn out, and done for the day. Stick a fork in me. I've over done it on the exercises. Not doing horrible. I'm able to function but I'm feeling it. Gut doing well. Appearance healthy. Was thinking I'll fast and fast hard. I want to lose 5 more pounds and I...

    My journey to getting well

    Today marks the 7th day of avoiding the nightshade family. The only thing I can point to with certainty that has improved is my left foot. When i avoid the nightshade family the left foot shooting pain goesa way. I probably should avoid the nightshade family permanently just for that. That...

    My journey to getting well

    It is a good day. I keep exercising. The plan was to take a break today but my energy levels have been good so did some upper body and arm lifting. Nothing hard but it would normally wear me out. So far so good. I'm holding up well. I imagine I'll have a better idea of how this is going in...

    My journey to getting well

    Slept in this morning. Figured that was due to the leg workout. I'm not feeling sore though which is nice. Did some upper body exercises. Think I'll do well with that. I'm feeling a bit chilled this morning but thankfully today is to be the last cold day of the week. the next cold front...

    My journey to getting well

    I think the cold weather caught with me this afternoon, that as the leg exercises done. For some reason when I do some weight lifting I feel cooler later on. And today being a cool day, the exercising and temps have me tired out. Out side of that doing ok. Appearance healthy. Energy levels...

    My journey to getting well

    As written about earlier, and can give me a bit of a good natured chuckle, this might be the diet to has me looking healthier and gets me attention. It seems to be the case I'm not used to attention all that much from females. Kind of nice. It seems like I keep getting close to finding that...
