DAY NINE

Somehow I’ve thrown my lower back out, so I struggled to move around today. Luckily getting work done at my computer wasn’t too big of an issue. It’s when I tried to get up that I struggled. I think juicing will help me heal quickly. I’m hoping.

Juicing went great. I indulged in a grapefruit and orange juice for lunch, just two cups, then had a veggie–only snack a couple hours later. It just worked out that way. Then for dinner, I did all veggies, no sugary fruits. Not very tasty. But my face flushed soon after like it did occasionally when I was eating alkaline before. I think it was a sign telling me that I did something super good for my body. I will do occasional veggies only, probably for dinners.

I felt fine except for the couple times I felt hungry. But that’s easy to fix. I juice.

For the most part, I’m happy with how things went today. I was quite productive for a day being in pain. I could have taken Ibuprofen, but chose not to.

I watched several videos of fullyrawkristina today. She inspires me. Not only because of what she eats, but how she looks and her sweet and awesome personality.

Symptoms:

I just realized that two more symptoms are gone, in that short of time. They are both related to nighttime. Sometimes before I go to sleep I feel itchy.  Then I scratch. And sometime it can even keep me up for a bit. This happens to me when I fall off the diet wagon and start eating sugar again. Well, unfortunately I had gotten myself to that uncomfortable stage again. But now it’s gone. That’s quite a relief.

Another symptom I get when I let myself get too overweight is a debilitating back pain during the night. I’ll wake up in so much pain, like my muscles have seized up, that it takes all my will power and strength to roll to a new position to relieve the pain. Because of it, it was never an option to sleep in. It would only get worse the longer I stay in bed. That is gone now too.

I’m getting more hopeful for my scaly forehead to clear. It still feels a little rough (I feel it mostly just after I shower and the water and evaporated from my face, before I use moisturizer), but I really think it’s improving. That will be a sweet day when it feels normal again.
