Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi n, Like anything, running is a process. I'm still working on my form as I am doing the Chi Running and it calls for overhauling form. Moving, in any form...it's all good. I do eat veggies. I actually eat veggies 3-4 meals. I normally can't get six meals in, normally just five, so I'm done by 7pm. I do not eat rice, potatoes, fruit, or any starchy carb after 3pm. I do have one of my huge salads for dinner and top it with salmon, tuna, chicken, or the occassional beef steak. I find that when I do eat starchy carbs after 3pm, I am hungry until I make myself go to bed. AND...for some reason (I'm sure there's some scientific explanation) I have a hard time falling asleep if I eat carbs after 3pm. I tend to be awake being very anxious about eating again and feeling very hungry. If I take a sleeping pill (which I don't like to do) to help me sleep, then I wake up ravenous and groggy, which makes me make poor choices first thing in the day. dj > >I'm a long-term BFLer at almost 6 years total, but the last 4 years > >steady.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Thank You so much for the response DJ! I can't believe what you are saying!?!? family and frieds thinking you wanted to be sick!! that is exactly how i feel!!! it seems that it is like a " now what does she think she has " attitude! and my mom is a nurse! it was the same with my pcos, for years i just knew something was not right! and finally i saw a dr at a womens clinic that diagnosed me the first visit...i was so relieved to know that there was a label for what i had for the past few years i have just notice things becoming harder to do...opening pop bottles, stirring cookie batter, anything repetitive...my hands are so much puffier right now that the rings my hubbie bought me at christmas won't fit anymore...achy,stiff...so achy in the morning...and sleeping so lightly waking with sore ankles, hands, etc...that finally i had to go and see the dr a few weeks ago...i see my gp again next week and she did mention referring me to see a rhuematologist...she wanted to wait and see the ra blood results and see how i was feeling after being on the naproxen for a month... have a lovely evening blessings karen > > Hi , > I completely understand the relief of finding out that you might > fit a diagnosis.
