So, I am doing what I had said I couldn't do. Cutting back on refined sugar.
One thing about this is that Candidiasis causes sugar cravings. Because the yeast is consuming most of the sugar which goes into your body. The more the yeast dies off and intestinal absorption improves, the less sugar I desire. Trying to stick with more natural and less refined forms of sweeteners. May give Stevia a try. (If I like it, I'll give another shot at growing it. Tried once before, with the intent of giving it to the ex, who likes it. It didn't grow, though.)
My weight is remaining stable, which was my biggest concern. However, I'm not all that physically active right now.
I have a strange, creepy crawling feeling in the area of my appendix. However, this is replacing a near daily and frequent pain in that area. So, at the moment I'm not concerned. It may well be a positive sign of the appendix and surrounding area healing and returning to normal function. Never been any increased pain with pressure on it.
Last time I had blood drawn my cholesterol was acceptable but slightly borderline. Then again, those labs were not fasting and I had eaten something rather fatty not too many hours before. Right now, I have been taking garlic for a couple of weeks, which may help reduce cholesterol. Opposing medical views on that one. Wait and see. If that comes back high, I'll try natural methods to lower it before I go with statins. Even as a nurse, I am not fond of those. One good thing about a Celiac diet is there are not many fried foods involved. Plus I switched mostly from margarine to butter and even decreased my use of that.
Still stuck on the vehicle issue right now. Can't get the Camaro fixed yet. Hoping on a tax return and to increase my case count for work. Otherwise, my income and expenses are fairly static. I want to get the car fixed so daughter and I can go out for long drives and hikes when weather warms up. That would be good for both of us on multiple levels. Nature is an emotional release for both of us. (I did not teach her that, it was born in. Look at my brothers and you see it was also born into me, not taught.)
Have not finished the solarium extension yet. Nor have I started seeds. I don't want to start them in the house. Too many problems arise with white flies. Maybe I can set the posts this weekend. I only have 3 posts to set for the purpose. Take a little over an hour. Big part is top beams and plastic sheeting. May have all of it done by the end of next weekend.
