Hope you're okay x
I'm pretty much the same, I had them really good two weeks and I'm still not fully over this illness now and I'm on my third week! I'm still coughing, it's not so bad but I've pulled the muscles in my back. If I just stopped coughing I'd be okay lol
But I already know I've lost all that momentum from before and it's just so annoying because it took me so long mentally to get started again!!3 -
Hey everyone, I got a new phone yesterday! I was very good for 6 months and paid my phone bill on time, every time. Lately over the years I've been a phone dropper. Kept breaking them. The last phone I got was a decent phone but it was a "Lite" version so it was cheaper. Ash said if I looked after it properly he would one day get me an awesome phone. And he did. Well we both did.
We got the same phone, his in black, mine in white!
But this time we've been able to get the Pro version. It's fricking awesome
This is by far the best phone I've ever had. But now I'm too scared to take it out hahaha
I got the OPPO Find X5 Pro. So I'm buzzing ATM but sorting through all my apps and need to see if I can connect.me watch somehow? Or I may need a new watch hahaha wonder what ash will say 😂😂3 -

Hey guys
Hope all is well!
Trying to stay focused here. I’ve been spotty about writing down my goals since I kinda lost my routine with vacation but for most part have kept things in line making the goals in my head. Yesterday I went off the rails. The background was that I did a 50 mile “backwoods” mtb race called the stoopid 50 Sunday. Was physically the hardest race I’ve ever done. Took 7 th in age group and 11 over all so that was cool. Monday took break entirely, yesterday did a trainer session but disk t do the typical volume on purpose and decided a few beers would be nice. I feel like today I’m ready to re-focus
Goals
2000 calories or less
8-12 glasses of water
No food after 9
Log all food
No beer
Get to Teigans track meet

I had a rough eating day yesterday. For no good reason I just suddenly wanted all the junk yesterday, and I gave in to that feeling. Chips and pretzels. Dessert at bible study. Ugh! It's fine. We all have bad days. I'll dust myself off today and try again.

I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary.

838 new posts. Wow.
Hello yall ive returned.
This time to document my new forray into anti-inflammation eating.
I read that switching to this diet takes time to have effects. At least two weeks, with changes happening as late as six months later.
Im also wondering who else has/is eats this way, what their experience is.
So far its very yummy but the gas annoying. I prefer this kind of bloat to the other kind tho.
My weight is currently 133 pounds. Basically what its been since i last posted.
Energy levels are unchanged for the most part; i discovered i feel less lethargic and poopy when my meals dont have lots of fat nor lots protein in them. So thats been nice.
Whats not nice is places with vegetarian options that are even greasier than the meat options!! Whats with that!!!2 -
Oh and im also gonna try embracing the ADHD way of working. Ive spent several years trying to work more normal—one thing at a time, orderly, and with a schedule—and altho i dont regret the time ive spent developing those skills, my assessment on whether this way of life is an improvement... im unsure. So im taking a vacay from it, see how it goes. See if i can incorporate anyhing that ive learned. And hopefully my brain ungooifies!2

Hour commitment - I won't eat again until after 5 pm, except my hot cocoa and dose of metamusal. None of the same foods at dinner as at lunch.0

I have to share this as most of you have listened to me for 4 years complain about my hip and back.
I was getting better and starting to exercise a bit in December and January, but on our travel day back from NB I ended up sitting for around 22 hours almost non stop. Needless to say everything locked up again and I’ve been in a lot of pain.
Last night I had my 4th massage therapy session and I wish I would have listened and did this 3 years ago. I’m still in pain, but finding myself going a bit longer at a time before it’s uncomfortable enough that I just want to take Advil.
Tonight I sat cross legged for about 5 minutes!! I’m so excited that’s such an improvement.

Up early this morning, had a 10am appointment 100 miles from home. So no breakfast, makes my daily food log look good.
Just had a healthy lunch. Have 2 more appointments this afternoon, and if I eat the fruit and veg I've brought with me later it will be another good day. Just have to ignore the 4 fish and chip shops which are all within a 10 minute walk!
@Snowflake1968 great news that your back pain is easing, hope it keeps improving. Can't believe it's 4 years since you hurt it, that's a long time to be in pain.

Just realised I didn't actually set goals yesterday. I did log, and was in the green. Last night I really wanted to snack but had nothing with me that fit the bill. Too cold to go outside and buy something. Can't believe I've done 4 good days in a row!
One more appointment this morning then I'm free for the weekend.

2000 calories or less💩
8-12 glasses of water💩
No food after 9✅
Log all food✅
No beer✅
Treadmill after work💩
Yesterday was ok. Went over my calorie goal but still had deficit. Didn’t drink as much water as I should. When I got home I didn’t have it in me to do treadmill so opted for tempo pace on trainer which was better than TV and nothing.
Looking forward to the weekend.
Although Teigan wants me to run a 5 miler w her. That’s fine but it’ll mean a heavy training weekend as it’ll have to be after I do my trainer workout… need to also work in weights again. Was doing good making sure I hit resistance training twice a week. I’m gonna be 49 this year and they say this stuff gets more and more important as we age. Plus gotta stay healthy as I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have to work till I’m 80😂
I’m at a point now where I actually see changes in my body which is good. Im pretty much back to what my ideal weight should be so that’s good as well. Now Is the time I feel like I went off the rails last year. Got to goal but then I don’t know what happened. Maybe some of it was not journaling. Maybe some of it was burnout because I lost too much too fast?
I think now I need to focus on the quality of my food, nutrition etc but in order to make it sustainable maybe also allow two days a week that if somethings not perfect I don’t throw in the towel. I think that allows me easily a post ride beer or two and also a night out on the town with Sara where I just enjoy the day and not worry about what the day is doing to my goals. Feel like I can work with that… sorry for the ramble. Feel free not to read. I’m really just doing this to keep myself focused anyway 😂
Goals for today
Caloric deficit
More water !!! 8-12 glasses
Short treadmill after work
Log food
No food after 9
No beer

☑️Drink at least 72oz water
☑️Stay under 1800 calories
☑️No coffee until 8am
☑️No food until 10am
☑️No food after 8pm
☑️Get at least 8000 steps today
☑️Tacos for dinner, maybe
☑️Lunch with a friend0 -
Last night was kinda rough.
Not sure why, but my leg pain came back.
I thought i was doing pretty good with my constipation management yesterday.
Something ive noticed since going AID (anti-inflammatory diet) is that managing my bowels has been more trying.
Subjectively, it feels like my poop is larger, im more bloated, and i'm gassier, the latter of which i heard gets better over time but somehow i'm not very optimistic.
Objectively, i'm teetering constantly on the brink of constipation, and poop is harder to pass.
Ive heard that this is one of the most significant components of adjusting to AID.
The hypotheses ive heard on why is that 1) your gut biome will change if AID is significantly different than your previous diet, and it takes time for it to reach a new steady state, and 2) what you eat directly affects the health of your gut. By changing your diet to something that plays nicer with your gut, and supports it better, any damage and inflammation present in the gut will reduce, and possibly even genetic and epigenetic changes. Which, presumably, would also take time to reach a new steady state.
That all said, there is one thing i can do to ease my symptoms at this time, and that is eat less grains (or make more of them refined) and legumes, both of which have significant amounts of fiber. Bacteria love fiber; giving them fiber supports their proliferation (size of poop) and their activity (gas). Also apparently cutting out those two things would make my diet AIP (autoimmune protocol), interestingly. Well minus that i drink coffee (why on earth is that not AIP??).
My weight is creeping up a bit. Maybe because ive been slacking on exercise? Ive been pretty active tho. Just more on the physical labor side than the recreational activity side. Which has been a bit rough on my feet, but so has lifting been (when i get around to doing it). I want to do more running, but i want to be lighter. I'm not gonna be dumb like i have in the past and completely nix running until i get there, but instead keep an eye on how my feet are feeling and prioritize activities that are nicer to them, like certain calisthenics. Might do more of the rowing machine.
Anyway, my favorite acai bowl place is open now. Time for breaktfast.2 -
I've not been posting much, but I have been checking in on y'all. Just kind of lacking focus and motivation lately. I am going to start teaching a regular spin class again on Saturday mornings. That should at least get me out of bed and moving on the weekend. If it's nice, I'll plan to ride after class.
Latest trial is getting the insurance to pay for Sierra's hospitalization. Her primary insurance is through me, and I didn't realize that she also had insurance through the school. Because of this, my insurance is denying coverage. The grand total so far is $63,000. That is just crazy. I know it will get resolve some how, but even at 10% that is over $6000. We've already paid >$7000 out of pocket for this stay. Fair to say we met our deductible this year. I know it's just money, but owing that much makes me sick to my stomach and makes me cry. It also means my trip to Australia will need to wait. I guess that is just life.
Have a great day y'all!2 -
