It was just a walk, but a big deal for me. The last time I tried, I was winded before I'd gone around the block. This time, I did have to take 3 little doses of Mag phos, on my way up Exeter and 107th, but then, everything smoothed out. My left knee threatened to hurt so I stayed on flat ground and once, took a few mag phos, but that was ALL! OK, it was just up to Durland on 107th and then down 105th to Exeter, a break to talk to Imo, and then home via Lakeside. The huge thing is that I felt like I wanted to dance; I had so much energy and moving my body made me feel happy! And only the littlest bit of almost pain at the outset. Now to see if there is any rebound, as there would have been in the past. Way different from the time I could hardly make it home I was in such excruciating hip pain. That was not so long ago!
Marking Budwig protocol progress or status or just how I've been doing it. Day before yesterday, I crashed after the salad/FOCC lunch, became useless: mental fog, sleep demand, the whole banana. So, yesterday, I broke the breakfast FOCC down to two meals an hour apart. That got me through to dinner. I didn't have enough hours for lunch since I ate my second breakfast after 1P. I went shopping and then pigged out on wok veggies. Then wound up snoozing at the computer so succumbed to the call of bed. But I still hadn't fed kitties nor had my second helping of FOCC, so got up at 12A to take care of those little items. Wound up working at computer until 3, then hit the sack again. On purpose, slept until 10A to be sure I'd had enough sleep. This time, I started with the veg/fruit juice and supplements with thyroid meds, but forgot to put in the flax seed. I expected to crash, but it never happened. It was 2:45 before I remembered to eat. FOCC was delicious with kiwi, lime and canteloup. Back to the computer. Then, around 5:30, the walk.
I want to be delighted with Budwig. Well, I am; in fact, so far, I am thrilled. Weight wise, I am holding but not gaining or losing. I was losing before I started the program, but I never had any high energy days as sometimes, I have been having since. Will I ever get up to the 6T of Flax oil/day that the protocol calls for? I think I will have to be getting a whole lot more exercise before I will be able to tolerate that many more calories. With what I am doing, I am getting 520 cal of oil a day, already! Fortunately, the veggies and fruits can't be adding up to more than a few hundred, but then, there is the flax seed, itself. I haven't checked on how cal rich that is. Will I ever get in all the meals and snacks the protocol calls for? Will it work, anyway if I can't? It seems as if it IS working. Maybe slower than if I did everything exactly right, but at least I am feeling pretty good, able to overcome somnolence most of the time and some of the time not even experience the threat. I think this has to be some kind of progress. It sure feels like it!
One thing that has started recently is a bit of Raynaud's in my finger tips. I ordered sublingual B-12 today.
