Meat and Greens Day 3
Well there was good news and bad news today. Started off the day waking up to a very swollen arm with extremly limited range of motion in my wrist and only two fingers that could move (had a clean go drastically bad last night and pinned my arm between my knee and an 80kg bar) but Mel recommend I go see someone at performance health and they were able to get me in this afternoon and…my bionic wrist came through, now broke bones!!! just a jammed bone in the wrist, stretched ligaments and enough trauma to the muscle to cause the forearm to go into protective lockdown mode, but the ART was able to unjam the wrist, calm down the forearm and get some blood circulating to help the swelling go down. Still a lot of work to do on it, but atleast I can move 4/5 fingers now!
And then I got the call from my mom…she’s been remitted to the hospital with fluid in her lungs, hemridging over her gullbladder and a whole lot of fluid retention everywhere. Don’t know whats causing it, but they are holding her on the cancer unit while they run tests (she fought cancer that was caught pretty late a few years back and wasnt given much of a chance but has been free and clear for a few years now). SHould no more over the next couple days.
So between the arm and the call from my mom, I almost caved in and bought chocolate covered almonds, but I decided to go for unroasted cashews and cucumbers instead! Thanks for everyone who is following along. Makes it so much easier to ignore the impulses when you know that others are in the same boat as you.
But heres what I ate today:
7:30-125grams roast beef, 1 hardboiled egg, minni cucumber, handful of walnuts
11am-seaweed salad 125grams turkeybreast
1pm-50grams corned beef, minni cucumber
3pm-50grams corned beef, minni cucumber, handful cashews
4pm-1 tbs almond butter
7pm-2 “Diet Rolls” (seaweed, salmon sashimi, real crab, tobiko, avacado & dried lettuce)
OMG Kel what a day! . Im sending good thoughts out for your Mum…….
Wrist jam sounds bad !!!! You are such an amazingly focussed person to stick yto your guns even in dark days. I dont know how you do it.

holy freakin’ cow. i’ve been so busy and without a chance to post. hope all get better with everything.
food is ok so far. though, this morning i had a tsp of cheese on my eggs. omg. but i’m sure it’s better than a slab of pancakes. haha! must be stronger! grabbed some good eats while grocery shopping yesterday so i hope it lasts me through the weekend. kid’s birthday party to go to tomorrow…i’m a little scared…
I’m right with Zola on the good thoughts for your Mom.
Sorry to hear about your mom. Also sending good thoughts her way. I remember when my mom was sick and i spent a lot of time in the hospital with her. It was virtually impossible to eat well. Surprisingly, the hospital doesn’t really have good healthy food choices. And the places around the hospital (Tim Hortons for example) are no better. LOL.
hang in there and hopefully she’ll get better real soon
