After several days of eating things like pita bread, monkey bread, and banana bread, my joints were screaming! My body decided that it was payback time, and I paid big. Now, after a day at the gym, and a full day of nutritious foods, my knees are only slightly stiff, and my elbow's tendonitis isn't quite so painful.
For a long time I thought joint pain was something old people griped about. I didn't realize how debilitating and limiting it could truly be. The best way I can describe it is to say that it feels like the connective tissue is stripped and about to break. Regular movement feels like you're rolling on rusty hinges. No bueno.
If there is great news, it's that there is now such a clear link between that pain and my diet.
Today I enjoyed:
Breakfast: Bacon, 2 eggs, 2 squash, followed by coffee with coconut oil.
Lunch: Spring greens with a tuna salad (tuna, onions, Greek yogurt) topped with blueberries.
Snack: Macadamia nuts and 3 dates.
Post-workout: Protein shake.
Dinner: Beef patties with avocado, and plenty of roast veggies!
Feelin' good!
