I have not. What are you eliminating?

It’s very strict, essentially everything except unprocessed meats are eliminated. I’m keeping in tea and one type of seasoning just because it makes it easier to handle.
Hoping to get some relief from pain and brain fog.

I have two left feet but I signed up for a trial of a martial arts class anyway. Even if I don’t sign up, I think it’s good to push myself to try things I normally wouldn’t.

So, you are only eating meat?

Self defense is always a good idea

Yep, mainly ruminant meats. The reason I decided to try something stricter instead of just doing low-carb or keto is that I realized how much most vegetables upset my stomach.

I'm so sorry! Vegetables are some of my favorite foods.

I checked back on the calendar. I've been working out on the elliptical since December 8th. That is 109 days.

That is motivation enough to keep it going!

I didn't write down when I started my "oatmeal for breakfast M-F" but I think it was in January.

Me too. I tried to sneak a few pieces of broccoli a few weeks ago (one of my favourites along with kale) and I regretted it within a few hours.

Feeling achy today. The class was intense but good. I’m glad I went.

I’m surprised at how much came back from my previous martial arts training years ago. I have been to three classes thus far, and it’s exactly what I was hoping for. I’ll continue to incorporate strength training but I think this will be the bulk of my activity.

I wish I had paid attention to my diet and fitness sooner, but better late than never. Two weeks in - a lifetime to go.
