[Day 8] 1 down, 5 more to go!
This is the first day of week 2!! Last night, I was talking to mom about the few times I cheated in the first week. I was kinda disappointed about it and was even thinking about "starting over" with this week being a "re-do week." My mom insisted I continue with the 2nd week and not worry about last week because there are still 5 more weeks to go and for sure, during that span, my body should already be adjusting to this new lifestyle.
Over the weekend, it was that time of the month. I would just like to say that I did not feel bloated at all. Actually, it kinda made me not hungry as much because my stomach keeps turning from the cramping. But all is well. I love the feeling of not being bloated because then I don't feel guilty about eating. I thought to myself, "I could get used to this."
On the other hand, my joints haven't been doing too well. On Saturday, my left ankle hurt so bad that when I put weight on it when I walked, I felt like falling to the ground because the pain was unbearable. I wanted to cry. So I spent most of the day in bed. My mom did say things were going to get worse but I don't know when it will actually stop because now my right hip has been getting painful, too. I feel like every joint that has been affected by my arthritis from the past is now being affected through this diet. I mean, even my left shoulder has been a little painful and a little stiff, too. Other parts that are affected, but not to the point of so much pain, would include my right jaw, right wrist, and left knee. GAH! So much problems with my joints!! However, this diet has been helpful in other ways. Internally, my organs feel pretty good. Not a lot of pain from my enlarged spleen. I also feel lighter, so not so much weight and pressure on my knees and feet. I just can't wait to remove my medications from my diet!
