cranberry sausage
banana

I've been up since 5:20, when my leg pain was so severe it woke me up. I put a 1/4 tsp Natural Calm into a glass of water and chugged it. I paced around for 20 minutes until I was so tired, I had to lay back down and then I was in and out of sleep until 6:45. My legs still hurt so freaking much, the right one more than the left.

Breakfast is the same as what I made last night. I wasn't in the mood to try to come up with something else and I didn't feel like standing there to make bacon, not that the pain is eased at all when I sit down.

I'm toying with the idea of Restless Leg Syndrome or even a vitamin/mineral deficiency. Nothing is off the table at this point. I'm going to keep doing things in hopes of alleviating the pain as quickly as possible, and then work toward keeping it away for good. It hurts exponentially more just sitting here though, so I'm going to go stand and eat.

Coffee 10am
heavy whipping cream added

Meal #2 2:45pm
leftover chicken soup
four slices of bacon
baked sweet potato with butter, cinnamon and nutmeg
coffee with hwc



Comments:
I'm still trying to take it easy with food. I have a lot of meat and vegetable ingredients I need to start using up, but it'll be time consuming. Dinner tonight will probably be the start of some new foods.

I wanted more coffee. I was surprised to have finished my coffee earlier and more just sounded really good.

Barely Snack 5:30pm
half mini box of raisins

*no picture*

Comments:
I was starting to feel that too much water/not enough food feeling, but I was in the car. The only thing in the car was a box of raisins.

Meal #3 6:15pm
grass fed burger of perfection
whole red pepper
3/4 of a perfect avocado



Comments:
So perfect.

Snack #1 7pm
apple



Meal #4 11:15pm
tuna with homemade mayo, pepper and turmeric
pepper slices and cucumber (only ate half of the cucumbers)



Comments:
I went to eat at 10pm, but got sidetracked with cleaning out the fridge. I didn't go to sleep until 1am maybe, though so it wasn't too big of a deal.

Day 27

Meal #1 10:45am
2 baked egg scrambles
pepper
2 slices of raw goat milk cheese
orange juice
~12 ounces of coffee with a minimal amount of heavy whipping cream



Comments:
I made crock pot chicken soup this morning. It's chilly outside. My legs hurt again. I don't know if I'm getting sick or not, but I figured I'd make chicken soup before I did.

Breakfast was good. I needed something quick and easy.

Coffee sounded good today. I had it over the course of an hour or so around 11 or 12pm.

Meal #2 2:15pm
leftover steak
squash with cinnamon
pumpkin puree
Sticky Sticks



Comments:
I am just not a fan of squash. The pumpkin puree was still really good. I think that's what I'm going to have in place of mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving.

Meal #3 7pm
Chicken soup



Comments:
I paid extra for the organic chicken. It's the best I can do right now. The soup turned out really good this time. I still needed to add a little bit of salt, but otherwise it was perfect. The chicken and organic celery totally make this soup.

Pie! 8pm

*no picture*

The pie is so much better the second day. The crust is still a tad bit too salty and I'm still not especially a fan of the pumpkin pie spice, but to its credit, the pie is actually really good today.

Meal #4 9:30pm
tuna with mayo
peppers and avocado
cantaloupe
small smoothie with 20 assorted nuts





Comments:
I ate a couple pieces of cantaloupe, but I wasn't enjoying it like I had thought, so I made a small smoothie instead.

EotD Comments:
This is the last week if September. Part of me feels like something is coming to an end, but mostly I'm not fazed by the end of the month. Yes, October will bring warm apple donuts from the orchard and Spumoni from the best ice cream parlor ever before both places close for the winter, but otherwise I'm not going to change anything.

I enjoy eating this way. I enjoy the progress and I especially enjoy how I feel. I can't imagine being any other way.
