Enjoy your time at the resort!
Good luck with the diet.
Glad that Fran had meds that are helping her. Do you have a timer set so she remembers to take it?
Resort time was good. Diet was "meh". The whole timer thing doesn't work so well because most of our problem is that we aren't at home where the meds are when she needs to take them. Now she has them on her nightstands and I have some in my purse so we'll see how that works for us.
Hi there!
Have fun in the parks!!
Thanks! We did! Maybe too much fun!
Have a great time at the DLR these next few days.
Thank you!
First off, enjoy your time at Disney!
Thank you! we did!
Ok this kind of chaps my hide on your behalf.
Elimination diets are hard enough. Heck any kind of dieting is hard enough. But to go cold turkey on that much all at once frankly is unrealistic, a recipe for failure. Not on your end, just it's too much to adjust to all at once, it is not set up to succeed. I get it, I do, and I understand the philosphy behind it but oh. HUGS is all I have. To me, to cut out one, adjust to that, then the next and so on, just seems more achievable even if it has a slower immediate result both health and weight wise.
I know what you mean. But in a way cutting it all out at once also makes sense because I can keep Fran from making me go through the Drive throughs whatsoever. Besides a salad, the only drive through food I can think of that fits my "new" diet is the chili at Wendy's without cheese and crackers. I really think that is problem #1. By cutting out drive through food, we are conquering 3/4 of the battle. She doesn't realize how toxic that food is and keeps perpetuating it.
The funny thing is that the day the Dr. put me on this diet, I said, "OK I want sashimi for lunch from Lazy Acres".
Fran said, "OK, I'll drop you off at Lazy Acres, go through Wendy's and be back to pick up you up." without skipping a beat. There is no way I can live with this, but if I can lose enough weight to get my numbers to a reasonable level, I can keep them there with what I know now.
I am glad to hear it is helping! That kind of schedule is hard, even with a reminder. I know I can't even remember to take vitamins on a daily basis so I can't even imagine. I really hope she can get into the drug study, that would be wonderful.
I hope she gets the study, she can't even take her daily pills regularly so this 12 hour pill is pushing it.
The chicken itself is, absolutely!
Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well technically since potatoes, and beans don't come from wheat it all is, but it's a moot point since they closed before we got there!
Enjoy your "Welcome Home" at the VGC and have fun in the parks.
Thanks! We did!
Enjoy your VGC trip!
That drastic of a diet change isn't sustainable. Maybe you can ease into it.
No I know it isn't sustainable, so I'm looking at it as a "six week cleanse". I want to get another blood test after eating and living like this and see how it works. I am taking my meds and eating like a martyr. Hopefully in six weeks it will be better and we will get a second opinion from another doctor, and if she talks crazy like this one then we will get a third opinion, but I think my current doctors has taken the Crazy Train.
Where have I seen that Sawgrass Mill shopping mall before? Did PIO go there in one of her TR maybe? It def looks familar. Have a wonderful time at DL. I just adore your flamingos! Love that steak and shake place.
Perhaps you saw it in Magdalene's TR (Flossbolina). She went there before her Panama Canal Cruise.
As for the diet. Oh my. I had a doctor like that once. I was like Donald Trump. Your fired! But good luck anyway. I lasted 12 hours as a vegan. Then I almost killed a chicken with my own hands. My new doctor said ' what a load of .......'
There are enough foods I cannot eat without them adding to the list! If folks want to be vege or vegan for other reasons like moral or health well done you. Not for this lady. Oh no. Pass me the steak.
The Doc is not advocating a vegan lifestyle, she still says I can eat meat, just pretty much meat and vegetables, nothing else. that's what's so bad. I need other things besides meat and veggies. While I am mostly complying, I still have milk in my coffee and I am still having a glass of wine at night with dinner. There are some things you can't take away from me.
I hope you're having a great time!!!
Thanks we did!
I'd start looking for a new doctor.
In any case, I hope everything works out well for you!
In six weeks after another blood test, we are going to start shopping for a new doctor.
I'm glad she's doing better. Wishing her luck in getting into the study!
I hope she gets in too. It would make a lot of things easier!
