Started feeling like I had more energy today. Pain in my lower abdomen has let up some. I think it was because I changed the diet some. I decided to take out all raw vegetables. I ate some chicken, bacon, and salmon today. I also had some fruit drinks and steamed vegetables. For snack I had a banana and apple. It was the best day so far for pain. I'm still having my fibro pain but that is because I've gotten away from the exercising. I usually exercise in the morning and I woke up in pain this morning so I didn't get it in. I'll try to get it in tomorrow and stay on track. That wont be to hard if I can keep my pain down. My IC pain let up some as well. If I'm not eating the raw vegetables and citrusy fruits than I will be on my way to being completely pain free. I hope to see myself there but I still have three weeks left to make it that way.
I'd have to say the hardest part about the diet is stopping my citrusy fruit drinks. I really LOVE my orange juice (this isn't part of the whole30 diet, it's only for me because I know it causes pain). But being in less pain is more important to me than drinking my orange juice. If I can get my inflammation under control than drinking it may not be such a big deal. When my 30 days are up I'll try adding it back in to see what happens.
My fibro pain is still present mostly in my hips and ribs. I always feel better if I exercise, so I really need to get to that. IBS pain is better than usual but I've still got that hardness in my middle (probably spasms, or inflammation). Bloating is still way down, especially now that I have taken out the raw vegetables.
No pictures tonight of my meals. I just used what I had from prep, some leftovers, and some fresh veggies I steamed. I made it work without much thought and I feel satisfied. I did tell my husband tonight that I needed to get a few more recipes for next week that fit my new need for a change in the diet. Tomorrow is another shopping day, so I'll have another small prep day on Saturday.
