079 - The strictest of diets

Mom and I drove three hours to Florence, AL for a visit with Dr. Rawdon, met with him for an hour, and drove three hours back. I'M TIRED.

Dr. Rawdon put me on a really strict diet again. It's not too much different from the one I was on a couple years ago: 88 oz of various fresh vegetable juices + 50 supplemental pills + one high protein smoothie each day. And when I have room to eat between all the freaking juicing, I get to eat only raw foods and the occasional cooked fish. An adventure, to say the least.

Oh, also, doc says i HAVE to go outside and exercise every day... ha. I wish I liked running or something, but I just don't.

Admittedly, I'm not looking forward to 32 oz of fresh carrot juice every day. I'm not looking forward to being forced to plan ahead when I'm not going to be around the house. I'm not looking forward to swallowing a million pills every day. I'm not looking forward to the detox symptoms I'll experience. But it's totally worth it, because I know I'll feel better. And I won't have to have surgery this way. That's a big deal..

I got a couple recipe books for raw and gluten-free vegan food! I'm excited to start working through those. We also picked up an acupressure guide to "potent points" for "self care for common ailments." Super interesting! I'm looking forward to trying out the techniques next time I get a headache or stomachache. :D

Just 34 more days and I'll be married, dude! I can't believe it. I'm ready to be married and to be done with planning this wedding, haha. True.

So now Josh and I are sitting here sifting through the unbelievable amount of information I got today. I think I'm going to look up what each of the supplements do for me...
