Dear Diary,.png

Carrie here!

Man! The last couple of weeks have been rough, but I think I'm getting back to normal. Whatever that is...
I'm practically a week into 'the diet that cuts out all the things'. LITERALLY all the things. 😭 No salt, no sugar, no taste. 😭 For real though, I AM eating a very small amount of those things. I find it rather impossible to cut them completely. These things EXIST in things!

So yeah, self, I'm doing better. I'm feeling better. For better or worse (obviously better) this 'cutting out the fun' is working.

In the last couple of days, my list of horror symptoms has all but completely vanished.

Goodbye

general fatigue and achiness
scary blurry vision
chronic headaches and ocular migraines
high resting heart rate
extreme brain fog/inability to think/work for extended periods

Hello

clearer thoughts and longer work sessions
more energy
eventually a smaller butt!

My Dearest of all Diaries, I still have much work to do to continue getting better.

To Do

Exercise regularly
Eat regularly (my appetite still isn't fixed)
Get outside more (that Vitamin D though!)
Figure out my 'best diet'
Keep track of my progress

Final Thoughts

I'm feeling pretty good. I've been exercising every day and trying to eat at normal intervals. I'm drinking TONS of water... and peeing in equal amounts. 🤣 I'm guessing that will even out once my body figures out how to absorb things again. Now, my legs still touch when I walk and boob sweat is the most unpleasant of things, but I won't let that stop me anymore... Or if I'm being honest (with me...cause who else am I talking to?), I'm going to try really hard to not let that stop me.

I felt GREAT being able to work for a full 10+ hour day! It'd been about 2 weeks since I was able to do this! Must remember this feeling of productivity and accomplishment and ride it till the next one.
