Monday morning all. I'm definitely "off" today. No. I am not "off" from work. My body is "off." I did not weigh today. I think I had a bit of a temper tantrum yesterday and ate when I was not hungry. My rebellion I guess. But that alone cannot account for how I feel. My fingers are unbelievably swollen. I couldn't possibly get my rings off right now. My joints feel sore in my knees, my shoulders, my hips. Something is definitely amiss. I'm going to continue this high protein, low carb approach for now. I read quite a bit yesterday on Mark's Daily Apple which is who wrote The Primal Blueprint, one of the folks Dr. Kruse recommends for dietary guidance in resetting your Leptin sensitivity. Honestly? Oh I feel very confused and unbalanced after trying to absorb all this information. Much of it is opposite of what I have been doing for so long. The very idea that I should not exercise first thing in the morning, before or after I eat breakfast, that alone has my head swirling. ???? This habit I have developed well and I don't know if I can build a new one. Don't worry about fat? Really? Oh good grief ... I've low-fatted myself right and left. But what I am going to do is put one foot in front of the other ... and see where it leads me. I am going to start logging my foods again though ... since I'm trying to keep an eye on carbs ... I need to know what I am doing. And I'm not going to completely give up on exercise. I'm just going to back off of the elliptical for now ... and find a different time for my Pilates ... and eventually pick up the kettle bells and elliptical again. Right? Well ... if I sound befuddled it is only because I am. For those of you who have been working at helping me become less befuddled, thank you!!! Have a wonderful day .... I am grateful today for ... 1. hot flashes 2. swollen fingers 3. stretched finances 4. achey joints 5. unmet expectations While none of the above appear on the surface to be much to be grateful for I am fairly certain that each holds the potential for new opportunities for me. Rather than groan and complain, today I am placing them on my grateful list ... each provide an opportunity for me to see something different, do something different, learn something. Have a good day.

Hmm... well I guess you could look at it like this... all of the things in your list are symptoms of being alive. The alternative is worse. ;-)

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that throws temper tantrums. In the end we only hurt ourselves, but sometimes I tell ya! have a good day and smile.

Morning Moose-the swollen fingers and achy joints require a doctor's visit, oui? Sounds like it is getting worse. Take care of yourself silly sausage xo.

So sorry to hear your hands are swollen..I agree you need to see a dr
and see what in the world is going on..or you may have to have your rings cut off..thats not nice...take care of you....

The care and concern expressed here is much appreciated. I think the swelling in my hands will decrease ... it has happened before. Stacking wood is hard on my hands and I've been doing a lot of it this past week. If I focus on drinking water, eating well, I think by the end of the week I'll be back to normal. If it isn't ... then I'll reconsider my plan. I can actually turn the rings now ... just not get them off. That is moving in the correct direction. I'm just having one of "those" days ... it will pass, it always does.

Inflammation, water retention... Doesn't sound too good to me. Food related? too much protein all of a sudden and your body has trouble to deal with it? or something else, which could be found out when you go to a doc...I hope you find what is causing it very soon! There is a real problem with diet plans. They are not tailored to your own personal needs, they are made after research (or not) and based on theory. Sometimes you have to adjust the plan to your body to make it work.

Here's a hug moose- love your grateful list- yes we need to be thankful for the things that aren't exactly what we hoped for but often turn out be good experiences. I am totally in the trenches with you- once again wishing I lived near an fs buddy to grind this out with. Keep up the good fight. There is no healthy alternative.

LOL I'll still have ya silly sausage! Hi there, sorry I've been "off" myself. I read something you said a week or 2 ago, I didn't want you thinking I wanted you on atkins, I still love carbs! Idk what you are doing exactly, but I've been considering dropping my carbs a TAD too (LITTLE as i can lol). Whatever it is, don't do something that seems to hard to do. I worry its too stressful, make sure its still eating foods you love. I think you will do better that way. Remember you are worth it, and just in time for a new activity, stacking wood is just another reminder that our bodies are also changing -like the weather, and its time to prep for it also. Can't keep doing everything the same forever. So happy thoughts Moose, they are just as important ;)

Oh I think I need to drop the carbs Cindy ... the more I read the more I think I am on the right track ... just in that transition though and not really sure what I am doing. I tend to develop routines and then changing them is tough. But I'll figure it out. Happy thoughts are important ... especially today when I am feeling glum. Your post brought a smile to my face!!! Thanks!!

Carol, I had a few days of the same symptoms....all due to my diet! I ate things I know I shouldn't and I paid for it! So frustrating!! But since I got my act back to Primal and water, the swelling has left, I am able to pee freely (isn't that a joke...I Pee Freely), and I feel much better! Sure hope that today was a better day for you, and remember..you are a beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful, amazing 50 something woman!
