Day 9

I think it I did not have activities scheduled in these ten days it would be easier to do this. Tomorrow afternoon I will be spending with a bunch of other photographers. I will be gone from about 12:30 until after seven at night. I need to bring juice with me for this. Not quite as easy as packing a sandwich.

I am continuing to not have the sharp pains in my groin area that I was getting several times a day. Perhaps those were from inflammation.  I managed 15 minutes on the treadmill today, after 15 on the bike, without pain. I still have the tension in my legs that makes me not want to do more, but at least I was not bothered by actual pain. It may be well for me to look at that list of foods that are anti-inflammatory again. Then, when I get off the juice I can be a little smarter in what I eat.

Last night I made apple juice just before I went to bed. I saved most of it in a covered container in the fridge, so I had a glass of that first thing this morning. When I got back from the gym I made a big batch of carrot-orange-beet-beet greens-spinach juice. Filled a quart container. I had a glass over ice and it tasted so good that I went back and had another. And another. Until it was all gone. I think this will be a good choice in the future when I crave something smooth and sweet.

Energy? I don't know. It seems like I have more but I'm not bouncing around or anything like that. I always feel like I have more energy when I just plan stop overeating. If my system is not involved in digestion it can do other things! I am also still sleeping well these nights. I don't sleep all the way through but whenever I get up to go pee I go back to sleep easily. That is plenty good enough for me.
