Yesterday I went shopping. In my last post, I said I didn’t get paid for a few more days, but I have a Target red card with a $200 limit. It serves as my life preserver for months when my budget doesn’t cover the food I need for the month. It is also written into the budget so it is paid off at the beginning of every month.
So I picked up some stuff for the week at Target, including lots of fresh vegetables, whole grain bread, cereal, and chicken breast. I don’t use milk for my cereal. I use almond milk, a nondairy product. Cow’s milk gives me lots of gas/bloating. I may be lactose intolerant. So I’m set for the week. I won’t have to resort to the wrong foods I have been eating to get by.
I did not exercise for the last couple of days. I have a shoulder injury that is causing some significant pain. I have an appointment next week with the doctor. He’d seen me two weeks ago, but there was no pain that day. So I am scheduled to see him again to have another look. It has been really bad this week. Yesterday was the worst. I almost went to the ER; it hurt so badly. It’s a little better this morning. The last time the doctor looked at it though (my x-ray), he didn’t see anything that would be causing me pain. I wish he could’ve lived in my body this week in order to feel my pain.
Well that’s about it.

Reading over these old posts, I realize I was severely inflamed and my pain level was really high. At this point, I had not learned what I now know about certain foods and their effect on the body.
