I can't do this anymore. Not right now. I'm not ready. I thought I was but I'm not. I'm at my sister's house in the country for an overnight stay. I brought my soup and it's cooking at the moment. I had some poached eggs an hour ago, but now, I'm hungry again.
My sister is going to make pikelets. PIKELETS! I loooove pikelets.
And tea. Mum and my sister are drinking tea. TEA. My favourite thing in the world.
Add pikeletes slathered with copious amounts of butter and tea together and you have my favourite morning tea. WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I want some!!!!
So, intro, it was nice while it lasted, I will really miss your headaches. NOT. I will be back tho. When I have figured out more and am more prepared.
I'm sorry.

Day 2 Intro
Last night had a pounding headache accompanied by neck stiffness, so when I went to bed I did some neck stretching exercises and sprayed magnesium chloride spray all over any sore spots on my head and rubbed it in, and massaged the sore bits around my eyes and forehead etc. It helped. I slept.
This morning I woke feeling like I had been run over by a Mack truck. Yay.
I heated up some of my frozen soup as I hadn't blended the last batch yet, and I didn't have time to do it yet. It tasted really nice even tho that was the one where I cooked the bones for too long and the chicken looked yuck so I didn't put it in.
We went to Karrinyup Shopping Centre to see Jimmy Giggle (the host of ABC kids). The line to speak to him and get a photo was almost to the other end of the shopping centre. It would have taken HOURS to get to him so we waved and watched for a bit, I caved with Pix and got them nuggets, chips and pink milk from Red Rooster. I only had water. I was just not organised enough, and I quite frankly don't have the energy to fight with him, or have everything organised right now. So, I am leaving him for now and just focussing on me.
The rest of the day was fine, I haven't gone off intro once, whereas yesterday I did. I have blended my pink soup which didn't go very pink once blended darn it. Oh and I have added an egg yolk to two of my cups of soup so that means I'm on stage two. I didn't have any GI reactions yesterday with Stage one so I thought I'll go to two and see what happens. Eggs don't usually affect me. I might do soup and egg yolk for one more day and see how I go then try the whites the next day. I want to go slow and steady and stick to the plan as I was reading someone else's blog yesterday and she kept rushing things and then having to back-track, so I don't want it to take longer than it has to.
OK so I'm making cutlets and greek salad for the family tonight again, I'll try to resist them, I loooove cutlets, they are my happy food. Can't wait til I can have them with almond flour as the crumb and cooked in butter...mmmmm.... not too long to go.
I am also feeling rather full and gassy in the bowel regions so I'm hoping I'll get some relief soon. I have been going just not a lot, and I think my body wants to clean out.
Well I'm going to go have a nap with my head doused in magnesium chloride spray again and see if it helps the pounding pressure feeling...
Bye peeps

Day 1 Intro
This morning I woke up and decided
TODAY IS THE DAY!
Today I will start Intro.
I have been reading about GAPS for about 8 months, and had decided to do it for me, Wade, Mads and Pix ages ago. I just hadn't got around to starting yet. I needed too many things. I need a freezer so I can buy organic, grass-fed meat in bulk so we can afford to eat it at all. I need to have nothing on for the next month so when I have die-off, I'll be able to stay home and recuperate. HA! Excuses. I need to just start already!!
So I did. I started. Today.
It was just going to be me doing it at first. So that I could have all the die-off on my own and then when I have to deal with die-off in the kids, I'll be well enough to nurse them thru it. But Pix has been sooo out of sorts recently, having night terrors, being sooo aggressive and temperamental when he usually isn't that bad, I just thought, "I want you to start healing already too!" So it's me and him. We're doing it together every step of the way.
Yay for us!
SO.....
Day 1:
Had blended chicken and veggie soup all day whenever I felt hungry, I had a whole pot, around 8 cups all up. I feel drugged and my head feels pressurised and sore, but other than that no GI upsets. Had a cup of ginger tea no honey tonight. I've been cranky and yelling. The boys have borne the brunt of it, but I keep apologising for my outbursts so I hope they won't hold it against me. I also cheated and had a handful of salted beer nuts and 3 chicken cutlets tonight which had corn crumbs on them. I will try to be better tomorrow. I think I did good overall.
Pix had a few sips of soup and a small cup of ginger tea with a teaspoon of honey, which I had to bully him into drinking. He didn't eat anything all day til dinner when I made cutlets, which he had 3 of. He had his bedtime bobbi tonight.
I'm heading to bed now, it's 10.48pm
Goodnight,
