Finding it easy to stay on diet and eat reasonably portion sizes. Also I am back on the 16/8 fasting schedule, and again it's relatively easy to do. My weight this morning was 230.4 pounds and feeling like I am reducing overall body weight.
I guess it's time to say that the new medicine that I'm on is medical marijuana. One strain helps me tremendously with reduction of pain and with helping my ADD symptoms. I can stay on task yet keep Many upcoming tasks in my active memory. In addition, I find that I have more energy and feel like doing more things. Of course this could simply be the reduction of my intake of opiate pain meds, and some of the anti-/seizure meds that I've been on for four years.
I know that I am taking risk by self regulation of the meds, but I am hoping that the combination of my high fat Ketogenic diet plus the addition of the antiepileptic qualities of medical marijuana will counter the deletion of one of my seizure drugs. I still am on one of my seizure meds during the day and I also take one at bedtime, both of which are generic and affordable. The one I have come off of is still on patent and costs me several thousand dollars a year, even though I am covered under a generous State University family PPO plan, and a Medicare plan as secondary.
Sometimes I think it would be better if I were divorced and on my own and then subject to complete federal and state health and prescription coverage, in addition to other benefits as well. FML.
