This blog is now going to be my vision board. It will contain information about diet and exercise along with cartoons and other things that I chose to post here as I go along this journey.

There are some recipes on this page but most of them can be found under the healthy recipe tab on my main page.

Week Three - Day Three - Visit with Dr. Scott

This should have been written yesterday but I just didn't get to it.  In fact it will probably wont be finished until tomorrow night.  It is late and I am beat.  The only reason I am still up is I am waiting for some laundry to dry, so I can get it hung up.

Did a quick calculation today as to the total number of calories I have consumed since starting this eating plan on Tuesday and the grand total is 4300.  Just over 1000 a day.  I have had days where I have consumed that many and more in a single day.  Dr. Scott wants me to be eating at least 1500 a day.  That is going to take some effort.  I will probably be around 1000-1200 a day for the next 3 1/2 weeks.  Should lose some major weight.

Visited with Dr. Scott yesterday and got what I think will be the last of my lab results back.  As he figured, he said I have two of the three problems with leaky gut.  I never even new such a problem existed until I started going to Dr. Scott.  I have been a fair amount of research on the Internet and I am surprised at how much information there is and how common it seems to be.  The supplements he started me on are to help heal my leaky gut.  They still don't taste good but I getting to where I can tolerate them a little more.

Vick and I spent the evening babysitting our grand kids, since there mother had to work tonight and their dad wasn't home from work when mom had to go to work.  Their dad called a said he was bring Pizza home for dinner and I knew I was in for a test.  Surprisingly enough I wasn't really tempted.  I mean a slice or two would have tasted good but I wasn't interested, even when I cut up the pieces for my grand daughters.  I was a little surprised to say the least but Dr. Scott said my taste buds will change and maybe this is the beginning.  I have some chocolate in the house and Vick wants me to get rid of them but I use it a small victory every day when I don't get into it.  I would usually go looking for it when I was bored and felt I need something to eat.  I would especially be into it when I am on my computer late, like I am most nights.  Now I keep carrot and celery sticks by my computer.  My gumball machine is still there and it is full of gumballs but I haven't touched them yet.  Another small victory in my journey.

As a whole my visits to Dr. Scott's office have fallen in to a routine of decompression bed, roller bed, cold laser treatment, foot soak, exercise with oxygen and full body vibration.  That is about all for this entry.  Goodnight.
