Pain update

 Woke up this morning with pain in my knuckles.  Has been a thing for a while now, but somehow I keep thinking that a few days of noninflammatory food will fix it.  It's not - yet. It's mostly the middle knuckles on both hands.  

Toe hurts today too - it hurt more yesterday than it did the day before. 

Movement at work is busy.  Up to 9 miles a day on my feet.  Although I didn't do much active production yesterday so I was thinking that maybe that would be a noticeable contributor.  

Food eaten:  Cobb salad and then dinner was grilled chicken parm.  

No wheat, no sugars (other than maybe in the sauce)

MRI day

 Today was my MRI on my toe.  

Also day 3 of good eating.  I treated myself to an Avocado Cobb salad from Salad Works for lunch.  Yep... living large!

Productivity was better.  Paid the lawyer a grand.  Got Joce an appointment with her therapist.

Still need dental appointments for all, including me.  And need to set up payment plan with Tower Health. Need to gather the medical bills and get an invoice to Brian for payment. 

Finally have to print the email from the pool accountant so the girls can get their checks from the summer.

So much to do, but so tired after work.

Hands hurting, but surely it’s from use.  Dad mentioned it could be Lyme disease.  Going to look into that a bit.  A blood test can give you a positive for that and for RA. 

I think that this will help me stay organized.  Get out what I need to get out and keep me on track.

I can do this.  WHat is this?  LOL. Who knows! Health i guess. 

Am I thin yet?

 So far so good.  It’s been 2 days.  I have been eating well.   Monday was shake and tilapia.  Tuesday was eggs with ham and peppers and a Subway salad.  Each night I allowed myself two sugar free Russell stover chocolates.  So far so good. 

It’s hard to tell if I have any changes in the pain level in the morning and with the joints.   Work has been hectic and I filled my circles both days quickly. 

Elimination of inflammatory foods... but first...

 Binge.

Ew... I feel so gross today.  I "had to" finish my beer, so we went all in.  I had almost 6 Mango Wheat's, plus pizza, mint oreo's, cheese balls and my favorite, Dutch Apple Pie with vanilla bean.

Regret.  Mostly just my stomach is pissed.  My joints feel no better, no worse.

Today's focus:  Shake, simple lunch, lots of water.  Nothing inflammatory.  Simple.

I got this.
