Tea and a long bath sound wonderful. I no longer live in a house with a bathtub and it was one of my greatest pleasures prior. Enjoy for me!!

I’m a big fan of OMAD. It works really well for me but there is an adjustment period. Keep us posted what you decide to do.

I can’t take much screen time with the migraines but I’ve been spending a moment here and there lurking enjoying all of your posts.
Two days ago my mum got the Remdesivir treatment. She still hasn’t run a temperature, praise the gods, but other symptoms have worsened. @Cassandra_G Please pray for my mother if you could. I’ve been able to keep down a couple of meals! The scale will literally fluctuate 5 lbs between meals. Water weight is funny. I haven’t had a decent BM in days and days. Sleep is all over the place. I might technically sleep 11 hours (not all at once) but the dr’s are saying i’m only getting like maybe 2 hours of restorative rest.
I’m exercising a lot. Yesterday was a rest day for me because the DOMS were so bad but maybe 2-3 hours a day. Most weights/interval. This is probably some form of self mortification but it makes me feel good so w/e. I seem to be on a kinda OMAD or Rolling 36. I’m usually in the high 3mmol range I usually take my night meds with some coconut oil mixed in with some nut butter. I figure i might need some more nutrients since I’m working out so hard.
Taking lots of baths. My husband has taken on roll of care giver quite well.
We have officially been exposed to a person that probably has covid and got our tests yesterday. Fingers crossed. To be honest I’m not worried. I have found great comfort in surrendering to the process.
Talking to my mum on the phone several times a day.
When I do eat I’m eating a lot more protein that I usually would.
I miss all of you so much. Hopefully my super cool rose glasses will come soon and I might be able to enjoy some more screen time. Though I must say it has been a blessing to be forced off screens. A forced media fast. @Miramar I found this local Kraut that you would LOVE! I think of you every time I eat it. I wish I bought more and am going to devour the bottle way sooner than I thought!

Realized I haven’t posted in a while! Hello Loves! Quick update. 6.9mmol yesterday. I seem to be mostly doing rolling 36 but only eating a little bit of food between fasts. Usually some high quality fats lots of very well cooked veggies and an egg or something. When I do eat it is pretty 50/50 on whether it will stay in or not. I can’t eat much. I do have some cream or coconut oil in my coffee everyday and some oil/butter/or nutbutter with my meds at night. At this point in my treatment my meds are litterally changing every couple of days so kinda in a whirlwind phase.
I feel very bloated this morning. Probably drinking 6-8 liters of liquids everyday? very little hunger. Sleep is a strange elusive mistress. Working on changing neurologist to a super migraine specialist back in chicago. and starting a sleep study here. It all just take time. Kinda losing track of time. If I take the serious pain meds first thing when I do wake up in the “morning” I can seem to manage on OTC pain meds the rest of the day as long as I stay in dark all day. Sometimes I can nap.
The scale has actually stopped moving for the moment. It’s probably because I’m building muscle. I’m working out at least 2 hours a day. Mostly weights, some cardio. but maybe it would be better called interval or circut training. The pool is strictly off limits. No one in my house. Only allowed to leave for shopping. I should probably take my measurements. I bet some serious distribution is happening. I’m not particularly concerned about it. The best thing is that I am in good spirits despite everything. Yes, I am in a lot of pain. But I don’t have to be in extra suffering. I can just be in that pain. I feel STRONG. I haven’t been this able bodied in ages. Sure it might not be much on the grand scale of things but I’m not comparing. I’m learning to love new things, get new hobbies, and appreciate my body for where it is right now.
Being sick has been one of the best gifts ever. Puppy smooches are the best medicine by far.
My family is much better but we got lucky. Others close to me did not. I splurged and got a TRX since I won’t be going to the pool (it equals out in gas money so really not a splurge).
As a Buddhist, like I’ve mentioned before, I have different world views on birth and death. It was an interesting experience having my beliefs and feeling intersect so close to my nuclear family for the first time. I got to learn a lot about myself.
My husband is a saint.
I’ve been working closely with a coach with the community called Nerd Fitness Academy I’m apart of. You treat yourself like a RPG superhero and have to level up your life. It’s fun, silly, and great. I love it and the whole community.
Although the migraines are some of the worst pain I’ve ever been in not being able to do more than a couple minutes of screen time at a time before crochet needles stab through my skull has been a blessing. Forced media fast. Has taken such a weight off my shoulders. I already kept a pretty strict media cleanse but it turns out I can do with even far less. Lesson learned!
Love all of you so much! Know that I am spending my rare 2 min here and there to check in on all of you!
