DAY TWO - Onward

Day Two: November 20, 2007

Made it through day one! Now how many more days until I can eat waffles for breakfast again?

Overall, I'm feeling pretty decent today. Just knowing that I'm doing something positive for my health can really affect how I feel. Attitude is so important. But having the positive attitude and the healthy confidence that can beat disease is easier said than done. I've spent too many years fretting over my pain and worrying about the future. I can give myself a solid pep talk because I know how important our mind's role is in our overall health. But convincing our soul is another story. And that's the part that matters! I need to know and believe deep down that I'm going to get better and I know I will. But sometimes I doubt. Too often I doubt. So how do I go about making that internal shift? I believe the only answer is prayer. My own prayer and the prayers of so many others. I know so many people pray for me. That's a beautiful thing.

Here's the diet for day two:

First thing: 10 oz. green drink and a probiotic
Breakfast: hard boiled eggs, grapefruit, water
Lunch: all natural chicken hot dogs (these things are so good - I hope I don't get sick of them), avocado, peas, kefir drink and water
Snacks: raw cashews, 10 oz green drink
Dinner: all natural chicken-apple sausage and spinach salad

Through it all, lots and lots of water.

The doctor gave me the go ahead to eat freely on Thanksgiving and for this I am very grateful. I am already dreaming of the stuffing, the potatoes, the pie. Ah, sweet pie.

Overall physical temperature:
Fatigue - 5
Numbness - 5
Pain - 4
TOTAL + 14 (One degree better already! Woo hoo!!)
