So last night is the first time in 321 weeks that I have not taken my weekly Methotrexate shot. I won't lie. It feels weird. I am fairly scared that my disease will run rampant and I don't have a doctor's appointment for 2 months. I haven't heard from Dr. Duvernay if she even heard from Hopkins yet. So I am feeling like I am going a little commando here.
I can't help but be excited about how good I could feel without a weekly dose of toxins in my body. I frankly don't remember how it feels without weekly chemotherapy weighing me down and making me feel sick all the time. This could literally be life changing.....good or bad.
I've also started my "no white" diet. Do you know Fresh Market doesn't have much bread variety outside of wheat and white? But I did find a New York Rye bread. I'm going to have to expand my shopping radius to find more variety in foods. I was told Whole Foods has great choices. In addition to changing my food choices, I decided to start tracking calories on MyFitnessPal again. It says I get 1300 calories. The nice thing is it has a ton of resources and it makes choices and tracking while eating out easier because a lot of it is already in there. For the last 2 days, I'm tracking and watching. So far so good and I haven't felt starving although I am noticing I am eating less...and that is the goal. Less and better choices.
So after 321 days, I have an extra day in my week to do stuff. Today I am taking down Christmas....finally.
