Anti Inflammatory Diet Day 2

I downloaded a book on my Kindle about anti inflammatory foods. I have decided to try this for sixty days. I have already eliminated some of them, but I still am prone to drinking diet sodas.... which are TERRIBLE for me and I do periodically still have diary / cheese/ corn chips / and things that are on the " bad" list. But I have had some really BAD days here lately. Last Saturday I could not walk by 3 oclock and spent all of the rest of the day in BED. Then again on Thursday I cratered again and today was not that great either.

I am NOT stopping my meds. But the Embrel is really not working that great. I can go for just a short walk and my feet are killing me and I can not be on my feet the next day. I am struggling. What? Another med? Another injection? just need to try this for a while. It is NOT going to hurt me. I have found 2 really good books with great looking recipes and some smoothie suggestions.... I like green smoothies and I do like a LOT of the anti inflammatory foods. ... So... I am going to really concentrate on it for at least 2 months.

Today I was finally able to get out of the house just to go to the grocery store. That was all. I was so tired. But the more I look at youtube... there are so many young ppl w/ this problem.... it's not just me being 56. SOoooo many young young ppl are struggling w/ RA and CFS. It is very sad to me. 

Their youth is being robbed. I at least had my youth and was very athletic during that time. 

I'm kicking around the idea of doing a VLOG... over the next 8 weeks... just to keep myself in line and accountable. I do have the TOPS group to keep me accountable and I am wanting to lose 5 lbs. So... I will keep you posted if you follow my journal. Journaling helps me in so many ways. It is theraputic and I have not been doing enough of it lately.
