Wow, where has the time gone. It seems like yesterday it was Christmas and I was meeting my grandson for the first time. Now, I am two months into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet or AIP. So, many things have happened in this two months it is hard to know where to start first.

Am I cured no, but I am back at work full time!! I am not in pain all the time. I do still have days where I hurt, but I am not stuck in the bed all the time. I get up and function like a normal person and not so begrudgingly now. Life is slowly beginning to feel like I am living again.

Let's talk mood this is probably one of the biggest changes I am seeing. I laugh. I straight up full belly laugh now. My ring is falling off from all the loss of inflammation so far, and even my shoes are on a slippery slope to the donation pile from falling off. I have not lost weight, but I have lost inches and my clothes are getting looser. Though upon my return to work I was told it looked like I had lost weight.

The diet is hard there is no doubt about it, and I have cheated twice. Yes, twice and I may never do it again. the inflammation seemed immediate and the pain unbearable. My gut swelled, my joints ached, and my body screamed a big HECK NO. So, lesson learned I sure hope so because I never want to go back to the person I was 2 months ago. Sad, depressed, always putting on a face, always in unbearable pain, and not hardly able to get through a day.

Now, I am at a point where I am managing my disease, and my disease is not managing me. I am slowly taking my life back, and healing myself with food. Taking a holistic approach and treating my whole body not just my symptoms.

What does that mean? Diet is not the only changes I am making. I have shifted what we clean with. I LOVE Melaleuca. The products are all natural, affordable, and it is like shopping at an all natural Amazon. I am working with a nutritionist to keep my diet on point. I have stopped exercising per say like I was focusing more on walking daily, stretching, meditating, and yoga. As the inflammation process resets I will go back to my workouts, but they were actually damaging me because my response was so heightened. I am also back in school working on am all natural holistic home remedies course that yes, I will be blogging about as I learn. SMH... Did you even have to ask?

Well, there ya go 2 months in and I feel amazing compared to what I did most days. I love my life, and I am loving living it again. I cannot wait to see what will be going on in 2 more months. I decided not to log daily as it was redundant. I will be blogging about my journey bi-monthly unless something major changes. I will keep you in the loop and keep adding recipes and other information. I have obtained a lot especially about nutrition, exercise, and the importance if breathing and meditating.

Until we see each other again Live, Love, Laugh, and Repeat!!
