Workout(s):
None so far. See "How I Feel" as to why, but I hope to get a walk and some yoga in tonight.
Food notes:
Supper: Grilled Shark (a friend's son caught a 62" 105-lb spinner shark the other night right off Harkers Island), fried farm-fresh okra, salad. The shark was good, tougher than most off-shore fish, but no fishy flavor. Because of mercury content we won't eat this again this week, but it was good and I think it's cool that our friend's son caught it (he's also our DD).
Breakfast: Bob's Red Mill Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (Gluten Free) with a banana, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg. I just had a craving for it.
Lunch: Leftover Mexican Beef Stew from last week over rice. Yummy!
How I feel:
Tired today. Last night was a very rough night. By 8:00 my legs were bothering me. I picked up my son from Scouts around 9:00, came home took my sleeping pill and my restless leg medicine and went to bed to read around 10:00. 10:30 hubby was asleep and I tried but had to get out of bed, take another pill and go sit and read. 11:30 I was still up and still jumpy feeling. I had tried to go back to bed somewhere in that hour but was miserable. By midnight I decided I felt like I had not taken my Lyrica. My legs were calming down but my right arm was driving me crazy (hand and part of arm are still numb from the syrinx they found in 2009). So I took a Lyrica, no clue if I had taken one or not, but that was what finally calmed the whole body down. I hate the meds, but I have to sleep. Next time I want to remember to try a warm shower or bath to relax me. Hopefully that is the worst of the problem. There seems to be one or two weeks a month that I have these troubles, but last night was one of the worst I have experienced.
Personal notes:
Still reading my doctor's book, but I also started Goblet of Fire last night. Nothing like a good Harry Potter book to relax you and keep you in a good mood. Still reading up on Paleo and contemplating the AIP version of paleo. Not sure if I have any autoimmune disorders but most of the time it surely feels like it. I feel much better after going gluten-free but I really feel like there is still a food or two that is doing me damage and after listening to two podcasts that interviewed Dr. Tom O'Bryan, I am wanting to make sure there is no hidden gluten in my diet. I'm also considering putting the whole family on it. Especially my youngest son who exhibits some of the symptoms that are discussed in the podcasts (one was on PaleoHacks and the other was on Underground Wellness). More to come on this later. I still need to read It Starts with Food and I'll start on that as soon as I finish my dr's book.
Wish me luck on getting in some exercise tonight! Have a great day everyone.
