I am REALLY getting excited about this IF and the bullet coffee...my Spine is deteriorating, and I have pretty much been bedridden in a hospital bed in the living room for over 6 months...I was getting depressed, because I took a sabbatical from the LCHF/Atkin's, and was worried that since I couldn't exercise at all, it was going to go a LOT slower this time....I first started back in 2013 when the docs switched my steroid to something closer to what the body naturally makes. I was 340 pounds at my highest...gained 150 lbs in 9 months from the steroids...they also made me mean with a bad temper, sucked all the calcium out of my hips and the ends of my long bones (avascular necrosis to both hips)...
On the new steroids, all of the bad side effects went away, and my avascular necrosis has been stable and not gotten any worse since then. I was able to ride my Terra Tryke bike around the bike trails with my hubby, and I started losing weight. Then last year, I got osteomyelitis in my Lumbar Spine, and had to have an emergency laminectomy. Unfortunately, it wasn't a COMPLETE SUCCESS, and I developed a sarcoma right on the side of my spine where the stenosis is still really bad. I can't even sit up in my Hoveround for more than 30 minutes, let alone do anything else.
BUT, I don't need to do ANY EXERCISE, and I am still fast-track losing weight!! I am SOOOO thrilled!!!
THANK THE GOOD LORD FOR SMALL FAVORS!!(Or huge miracles)!! :). Hope all of you have a great weekend, and keep up these lifestyle changes you have started!! Even when obstacles try to get in your way, you can overcome...or work around!!!
