Health & Veggies

Before I got sick and went on SCD, the freshest produce you would likely find in my house was jarred garlic (hardly fresh!) I was very bad about cooking fresh, good food. Now, this pile of veggies on my kitchen table is just the veggies for this week! What a life change this has been. Sadly, I have to cook all of these veggies to mush before I can eat them, but after I heal I'll be able to eat fresh crisp veggies. That's not something I ever thought I would look forward to as much as do right now.

As for my health on SCD, it's still steadily going in the right direction! I have plenty of energy now, and am sleeping my usual 8 hours a night again. I'm still carrying around pain in my ileum, and don't often feel like going for a jog. But I am doing some pilates and walking the dog a lot more. I have to make sure not to over eat too much, since that causes unpleasant side effects, but I'm consistently getting a normal amount of food. I've held a steady 93.5 pounds every morning for almost two weeks (98-100 is my target weight). And, I've been able to successfully work some fruits and honey back into my diet. I really hope my future health updates keep getting more boring!
