Day 221: AHR day no 1

I hit a wall a few months ago.  My weight was going up, my body was hurting and nothing I was doing seemed to help.

When I hit a wall, I tend to go overboard trying to solve the issue.  My chiropractor reminds me constantly that there aren’t always answers.  That sometimes you just have to move through the feelings.

But coming out of a full year of COVID, and multiple doctors saying “Well, you are over forty so …” meant that I wasn’t going to leave it alone.

Amongst many things, I finally decided that maybe a diet protocol or a functional medical doctor would be a good idea.  Traditional Western medicine seemed to keep letting me down.  So husby and I registered for an Autoimmune Health Reset.  It’s a four month program filled with diet, mindfulness, supplements and fasting and we are on Day #1.

Day One doesn’t mean much.  Right now it means we aren’t really sure about what we’re doing, everything feels difficult and we’re hungry.  I know that as we figure things out, it will get easier and I am very (cautiously) optimistic that I will begin to feel better.

Also, did I mention that I got corrective eye surgery and the recovery time is 2-4 weeks?  Plus it’s balls ass hot out?  So yeah, today might not be my best day.  But I’m doing it.  And I guess that’s what counts.
