The past week has been brutal, my pain has been unimaginable. However, something changed this morning and I'm able to function again. My arms and shoulders are still much too painful for exercise but I'm thinking maybe I can do some gentle morning stretches. Have any of you tried stretches? What has been your results?

I have continued with the ACV in the mornings, but the breakfast nausea has returned. I have discontinued eating breakfast because a) it causes nausea, and b) it causes increased hunger throughout the day. I have returned to my standard OMAD that has been working really well for me.

Fortunately I was able to be productive during those hours and completed a lot of study. I'm not in University or anything, I just really enjoy digging…

Today was a good day! I met two new men today and we had several things in common, and we took the time to discuss them at length. So I have two new friends now. This is very important for me because it is so difficult for me to meet new people and form friendships. Sometimes I have years go by without a new friend, but…

I went to see my Primary Care Physician yesterday for my annual wellness visit. The first thing she said was, "You've lost a lot of weight." She didn't know I began a weight loss plan. I was so encouraged to hear this, yes indeed!

Last night I startled awake by sudden intense pain, but it ceased quickly so that I was able to get some good rest. I got up when the alarm went off and had a full day today. I even had enough spare time to spend an hour reading, which is something I want to prioritize in 2024.

@jessicakrall8 I'm not participating in the August challenge. I've been sick for a while now and maybe I'll recover enough to join again for September. Thank you for the challenges!
