Day 224; AHR day no 4
A hint.
Maybe don’t start a new diet protocol the Monday of a three-day headache rager and four days post-PRK eye surgery.
I’ve been grumpy.
I’m still hungry. (I don’t know when or if this will ever change).
I’m a little bitter because … well, maybe I’ll get into that another time.
Suffice to say, it hasn’t been the easiest week. But yesterday we had sweet potato fries and beef burgers with a little mushroom and onion sauté (hello ghee, my new favorite thing). And my headache faded out as the day began to fade. So now it’s just me, my hunger and my wonky vision as my eyes continue tp heal.
When J+I signed up for the Autoimmune Health Reset program, it happened in a flurry, a dark stretch of days (months?) of not feeling good, and at the end of ideas. It was expensive, but we figured, what the heck? There’s no price on our health.
That remains true.
It doesn’t, however, justify some of the … shall I say nuances? … of the program.
I have started to feel better (even if simultaneously grouchy and hungry). I had a good workout today for the first time in what felt like forever. My right leg is still not good, but I’m doing my PT (with large sides of sass and commentary on health professionals and their attitudes toward ‘sick’ people and y’know, the ancients, ahem, those over 40 …). I’m drinking my water.
And we have groceries and dinner ideas and kombucha and seaweed.
But still. Woof. (I’m the worst at diet protocols).
Xoxo, g
