Day 4

Today wasn't as good as yesterday and I'm sure it has to do with the fact that my neck is absolutely killing me. Picked up my new glasses today though - very cute looking, I love 'em!




If this guy doesn't scare you, well... I'd be surprised.

Good News: I purchased a pair of capris (size 14) at Kohl's two weeks ago (the ones I'm wearing in the picture from yesterday). They fit well when I bought them. I can now pull them off without unbuttoning them! Its only Day 4!!

I remember this 'muscle' problem from the last time that I did the diet. If I remember correctly being in ketosis takes certain proteins out of your muscles making your muscles feel sore or crampy. I woke up to cramps in my feet this morning and my neck is a mess.

Now, my neck, its always a mess. Two car accidents and a skydiving fall that wrecked my right shoulder have made it so that my neck and shoulder muscles are all in knots. Today, for instance, I can't turn my head. This makes driving very dangerous. I have a horrible headache because of my neck.

I've been seeing a chiropractor for 5 months and I don't feel I'm getting the results I expect. I think I need physical therapy now. Seeing as we're new to the area I don't know where any PT offices are, I need a primary care physician in this area so I can ask these types of questions.

I called a bunch. I have a lot of experience with doctors, unfortunately. I want/need a female PCP - its not even a question. Well 99% of them in this area are no accepting new patients... Great! But the last two I called were - Ya!! What's even better? They're both doctors of osteopathy! I'm very excited! I even got an appointment for Tuesday!

I'm keeping my orthopedic surgeon and cardiologist (they're both at the hospital), but I need PT and a new pulmonary doctor, at a minimum. A new dermatologist would be good too.

Hunger wise it wasn't bad. I found myself really searching for food about 2 PM, but its hard for me to tell if I was looking for food because I was hungry or bored. both tomorrow and Sunday we're going out to eat at lunch. I really hope I can keep up the good work with the diet!
