Orangey juice - yum!

I initially got up around 6am but felt tired so I went back to bed around 6:30am. I woke up at 8am and was still tired and then took my morning medicine which makes me sleepy so I went back to bed at 8:30am. Woke up at 10:30am. Gabe texted me and wanted to come by to pick up some yard rocks that have been sitting in the front yard. I told him to come on by. Somehow that motivated me to make a juice. I was making the juice when he got here so I gave him a taste. He said it was good. He is proud of us for doing this diet change. It's nice to have so much support. I made an orange juice - sweet potato, orange, carrot, apple and rutabaga. I drank more than a glass full. It was really good. Later today I'll try making a mean green again. I'll use less lemon than I did the first time though. I'll do that when David gets home. Then I'll make a salad for dinner. I need to run by the store but it's warm out and I'm not sure I'll get to it today. I'm not sure where I will go, either Sprouts or Target. I might wait to go when David gets home so I don't have to put Bayou in her kennel. She's outside right now.

I'm still feeling tired but I'm hoping that the orange juice will give me a boost. I'll at least wait until it settles in my stomach to go to the store. I don't want to end up having to run to the bathroom while I'm out. Not sure why I've been so tired the last few days. I guess it could be my body detoxifying. It may be taking longer to get to that point since we're not juicing 4-5 times a day. I look forward to not being so tired all the time though.

This coming week I see the endocrinologist on Wednesday to get the results of my 24 hour urine test. I'm sure everything will come back normal. Dietary change and moving more is what will help me in the long run. Even if he finds something I'm not willing to take a steroid or any other medication at this point. I already take a draw full of meds and I'm sick of that. I need the medication right now but I know I'll get to a point where I can get off some or all of the meds I'm on. That will save us a lot of money. Not going to the convenience store and not eating out multiple times a week will also save us money. Buying the f/v, nuts and seeds is expensive but I think overall it will be less than we were spending before on groceries, the convenience store and eating out.

That's it for now. More later.
