Final pictures will be posted this weekend before I return to Keto. Still haven’t lost all the weight in my jaw/neck.
Will post some pictures of another holiday dinner and the tree–lovely weekend.
Today is Karmanos with my son John (testicular cancer). Cat scans and tumor markers. Hope good news yet again. So no research.
I’m contemplating what vegetables to add in soon and maybe cooked broccoli for a while. I should have lab results posted by Sat. and maybe some pictures. I did check my weight and I’m guessing I’ve lost about 8 pounds since I started carnivore. I was five pounds lighter than I’ve ever been on those scales — 119 dressed. This at present is a total of about 18 pounds since starting Keto and then switching to Carnivore.
Food today: Coffee, water. Double cheeseburger from McDonalds — no bun. Not the greatest food. Leftover turkey, glass of milk, preservative free pork rinds.
Observations: Felt tired and off today. Had some diarrhea as well. Maybe just the drive and so much work over the weekend. Appointments all week.
Dreams: I was staying at what was supposed to be a fancy hotel with my friend Charmagne. But the hotel seemed to get seedy and I was worried about riding in the elevator. I was also worried about the people, being hurt. I remember waiting to be seated for dinner. I remember sitting by and swimming in a pool. My friend Karen was there later in the night planning a party for her husband, Bob.
I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…
