I guess it was inevitable that once you put the carbs back the weight comes back as well. It didn’t take long and was actually a little alarming. At first I gained ever pound I lost within a week. That was disheartening but then it leveled off and I took off a couple of pounds. I’m still up five pounds but so be it. Why I changed? At first Keto was yummy. When you haven’t eaten cheese and butter for…
Well it’s back to the normal everyday routine. The holidays are over. They went fast this year. Actually the year went fast. 2019 is officially the new calendar year. Do you feel any different? I didn’t think so. I was back in the pool first thing this morning. It isn’t too cold in New York so getting out of the pool wasn’t too bad. Felt good to be back in the water. Today we have to cook. Since going back…
There are a few things I’d like to happen in 2019 besides happiness and health. I’d love a cure for multiple sclerosis but I’m a realist so my vision board needs to be too. My handicap van. This is still not a certainty because of funding but it is number one on my vision board out of necessity. My finances. To be debt free and have a surplus in the bank. My weight perception. I’d like to be healthy and…
2018 wasn’t a bad year for me. Yesterday marked the day I moved into my condo a year ago. Although it was technically 2017, it was really days of complete chaos until 2018. I wake up to this view to look at. Trust me it looks a lot better than my picture shows. I learned that I can still swim. I have spent a lot of time in my pool. I was fortunate to have an indoor pool in my…
One of the most common of MS symptoms are spasms. They can range from mild to severely painful. I know many people with both extremes. I am considered mild. I have them in my legs mostly but also in my back. It’s my back spasms that can have the highest degree of range. On a good day I may have a few spasms in the whole day. A bad day I’ll have a few spasms every hour. Even the spasms…
I tried Keto for a few months and it did work for me at first. I did take off weight but eating like that wasn’t something I could do on a long term basis. As I got sick of the food, I started eating bad. I just don’t like cheese and butter all that much after not eating it for over a year. At first it was good like a new treat but that wore off quickly. I did like…
I’ve suffered from migraines for over 15 of my 21 years of having MS. I remember when I got the first one. I was driving home from a meeting that was close to one of the NY airports and I was in major traffic. Probably a little stressed because I had to pick up my daughter at school. It started as an Aura, one that I’d get to know very well over the years, but this was the first time….
Well actually it’s cold out of here and by that I mean the pool. I go down and it’s all warm. I get into the pool and it’s nice and warm and I get out and I’m frozen. I think it is once again a big thanks to my MS that once that chill sets in I can’t get warm until I hit a hot shower. That leads to overheating and acting up my other MS issues. Not the most…

I am still doing this all these months later. I now eat between the hours of 11-7. I also don’t usually drink my coffee until 11 as well. The truth is I haven’t lost weight from this but I haven’t gained weight either. I have to agree with the doctors that losing weight when you lose mobility is very difficult. I sit most of the time so I don’t burn as many calories as the average person. I do try…
