Day by day, as I sit waiting for a call to schedule my back surgery, I get better, stronger, in less pain, etc. The other day I felt stable enough to attempt some ‘moves’ and I was successful in a full squat – plus standing up unassisted, w/ both legs powering, and no scaling. Huge. […]


So, I survived without coffee yesterday. Barely. The night before I’d had nothing but nightmares & I was exhausted. I did have some chai green tea, but no coffee. No UTI or bladder stuff, either. Moods were definitely more off kilter – I’m putting that down to bad sleep. I watched Van Wilder & held […]


Alcohol is bad, yo. Oh, Geez. lol. (Bonus points for getting that reference.) Seriously, though. Super-clean Paleo has helped so much in a relatively short time. I feel so much less over-emotional, way more balanced. Sort of flat, but in comparison, it would be – doesn’t mean it’s not properly emotional. I’m still waiting to […]


Weight has come down nicely. 225.6 this morning. Made plans for the food we’ll have at Thanksgiving. Still need to decide what I’m going to do for my son’s birthday instead of what he’s requested, but I will do that in plenty of time & do all the shopping at the same time. I’ve been […]


I have spent the time since therapy contemplating stuff. It was a good session. I also signed up for the coping skills class – that starts Monday. According to the psychologist, I definitely have Bipolar 2. That’s good – less severe than 1. The anger stuff may have started out because of the bipolar swings […]


Happy to say my weight is back down to 230 after nearly a week of clean eating. Feels better earning this with true Paleo effort, as opposed to hospital-stay-driven stress and malnutrition. I put up some black curtains in our room yesterday. Not true blackout curtains, but they definitely made a huge difference in the […]


I am happy to report that my weight has come down 4 pounds already. 3 pounds left to be where I was while in the hospital with Eric & under stress & not eating well, etc. For food yesterday, I had lots of bacon and eggs and sauteed mushrooms for breakfast. I used butter lettuce […]


I’m not sure if I’ve posted here about my hours-long frenzied cooking sessions, or my lopped off fingertips, accidental self-stabbings, Attention-Deficit-Disorder distractibility, food flinging like the Swedish Chef, using the smoke alarm as a kitchen-timer – type cooking style. I learned Friday that it’s not my style, per se, it’s often mania. I do the […]


Food yesterday was great. It was definitely tougher to navigate the cravings and hunger, compared to the first day, but I made it. I almost caught a nap, but a call came in. We got to bed at the right time, but I couldn’t sleep for a while. Then, in the wee hours of morning, […]


I miss the days of Paleo where I crashed, slept like the dead, and woke up feeling like I could wrestle a bear. This zombie-mom stuff is for the birds. We even got to bed earlier last night, but I couldn’t fall asleep – then it was one of those nights where I think I’m […]
