Changing your life is hard. Changing your diet and habits is hard. Doing this while you have children, little time and money is even harder. However the above quote from my doctor this morning keeps ringing in my ears.
Have I changed my eating habits? yes, somewhat, but it has not been a wholesale change - at least not as much as I had when I started this process. I have regressed to some of my old habits. Eating fast food for lunch is difficult for me to overcome. Someone keeps putting chocolates outside my cube. ...And Coffee? Oh lord help me. I have a hard time even thinking about quitting.
Have I increased my exercise? Only a very modest amount. Finding time for this is difficult as I am not a morning person and that would be the only time I have to run.
So where are we now on my road to recovery? After 4 months of antibiotic I am going to continue drug free. My LLMD wants to take a 'wait and see' approach. eat better, exercise more and see if symptoms don't continue to improve. 4 months of treatment should be enough to kill the disease, but the only other thing we can do are expensive and inconclusive tests.
I will redouble my efforts at improving my lifestyle and increase my prayers to Blessed Pope John Paul The Great
