Last June I learned I had somewhat high blood sugar, it was the background cause of about a half dozen odd symptoms of which I couldn't determine the cause for the prior year. So I made some immediate changes. First one was I began using an insulin pen once a day, I didn't need much and this form of insulin is easy to use. I began testing my blood sugar throughout the day. What foods we spiking my blood sugar became quickly apparent. I gave up bread, wheat and potatoes which seems to be the biggest source of gaining weight for me. I suspect there is something really wrong without wheat other than gluten allergies. Stan X has said there were macrobytes (DNA disrupters) in our cereal grains, he didn't say how wide spread that was and how to avoid it. I've also found Chinese food (tailored for Americans) is loaded with hidden sugar - the biggest single blood sugar spike for me of any restaurant food and they don't tell you that. Carbohydrates are what cause weight gain.
There are stages of adjustment when you lose weight, posture changes, back changes, how you walk changes. One area loses fat while another doesn't until it's time for that area. Sometimes baffling changes for a moment that vanish just as fast. I've also found trauma that occurred during the original weight gain coming up for release, along with long forgotten memories of the moments they happened. Emotions are often held within the soft tissues of the body. And they are no doubt related to the weight gain either by its impact on my emotions or how I processed those moments.
My left knee has been killing me for the past week. I bought an ACE knee compression brace/bandage and that has eased the pain in my ligaments. The knee symptoms might be related to the energies right now, which for me range from blissful to knocking me flat out. I'm an old fart, died once and came back, so every day above ground is a good one. I didn't come with an expiration date on my ass, but definitely feeling the years of wear at times.
Janauary has been tough for work, as it often is. That got compounded this week with the ice storm making it impossible to drive. In Austin it looks like tree-mageddon hit. There's not a house or lot spared tree damage from the weight of ice on limbs. Arborists and landscapers will be cleaning up the mess for weeks. Perhaps it's all the ice but my dreams have been off the charts and I am getting so much data in them as I move about place to place. My dreams have always been journeys, but I don't usually remember them like I have the last 4 days.
I was able to re-jigger my medicare plan and got a new car insurance provider so with those two alone I cut out $250 of expenses at the beginning of the month. So downsizing on the financial side too. I wasn't sure what I was going to eat, but looks now like that I will manage. I made rent. February will be better, the weather is warming up and roads are clear. I don't know if the January down turn in ride requests is related to the tech layoffs, but I am revising my resume in case I need to find other work. Preparing for all possibilities, including abundance.
