Hidradenitis Suppurativa

I have to deal with a condition that is called hidradenitis suppurativa, is an autoinflammatory condition.  It causes painful lumps under my arms, breast and groin area. The lumps are full of puss and will drain out after a while. If I open them up myself, they get infected and hurts a lot longer then normal.  Somedays the lumps gets so big that it's hard to move.  For years I was dealing with it, I read up on everything I can on it. And learned that one of things that triggers an inflammation is food, dairy, sugar, or nightshade. Nightshade is a plant family, at first I thought of the deadly nightshade plant. But after some research I found out there are veggie and herbs are in the family. Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, which sucks cause I grow up in the should we have potatoes or tomatoes almost at every meal. In the last year I tested the theory I got rid of nightshade for a couple of weeks and the lumps got smaller and less painful. So yay me.... but ...

For serval days I didn't set attentions or wrote out my day. Cause almost all week as been something.  Tues we got up got dressed and went to do some errands. Then I got home and made pie,  and deep clean the kitchen. I may not have people coming over for the holidays, but I prefer to have a clean kitchen when I bake. I really don't bake very often, I like to cook it the mess I don't wanna clean.  Wednesday I taught myself how to make an apple pie. And it may not have been an all day thing but it was stressful cuz I was making it for family. And then when my husband got home on Wednesday night we found out our truck is broke-broke, as in it won't go nowhere. Which is kind of stressful on my end so I kind of pulled a binge eating moment.  Thursday we went to family they had to come pick us up but it was their choice as well in a row something here. And we were there all day long but I had a good time so there's no big deal we had Thanksgiving dinner there.  Yeste...

  Today Intention * I will do some housework today * I will drink water * I will mindfully eat today. Exercise I did.  Walking for 1 hr. I was shopping but I was walking and lifting stuff.  Food (1300-1800 calories) Breakfast - spinach mushroom ham omelet Lunch - sonic Carmel sundae Dinner - BLT (no tomato), noodle salad, and orange. Drinks Coffee with sugar coke Reflection   I broke down and had a coke today, And honesty really didn't enjoy it much. and really didn't eat healthy either. Some times I wonder if I like starting something and not finish it, then feeling bad about it. Like me not supposed to eat anything from the nightshade family (tomatoes, potatoes, egg plant, and peppers) I keep doing it not because they taste good but for the painful lumps, lesions, and aches I get.

Today Intention * I will drink water * I will eat mindfully * I will go outside Exercise I did .  *I walk outside Food (1300-1800 calories) Breakfast - 2 waffles Lunch - 1 ham sandwich. Dinner- 1 Fish sandwich snack - 2 little donuts. Drinks Hot tea with honey coffee with sugar water Reflection So while me and hubby was out doing errands, he got hungry so he decided to stop by a fast food place to get something to eat. But I told him that I wasn't eating anything from fast food anymore. So I didn't, I set there and talked with him while he ate. I'm proud of myself for not giving in to the smells of a cheeseburger. So 1 step closer to food freedom.  Food noise is a thing.

I failed.... but I can get back up.

So for the last month of October, I had the flu, depression, and just no motivation. So I haven't walked my mile, haven't worked out, and eat things I wasn't supposed to.  So now in November, I got back up I just didn't post or anything. I wanted to see if I could do it. And starting on November 5.  I started a calorie deficit, no soda, and working out about 3 times a week.  I wrote down things on paper just to stay consistence and I did. I've been using Today Intention * * * Exercise I did.  Food (1300-1800 calories) Breakfast Lunch Dinner Drinks Reflection It's been working. I lost some weight.

Day 4 of 7

 I know I'm writing this on the 5th of October, supposed to be day 5. but it like 2 am, cause I couldn't sleep anymore. I was so tired yesterday I went to bed early and wasn't able to write my failure entry.  I still have a painful blister on the back of my foot, wearing shoe is a must when walking at the park. (hot concert sucks) so anyways. I still did something, I indoor walked and did my weights. I don't feel like it was enough, I have failed my 7 day challenge. Seven freaking days and I couldn't keep up with it. I might be blaming it on the shoes or the blister. But I still failed to walk 1 mile every day for a week.
