Psoriasis journey: days 10&11
The last few days have been busy, and I've gotten behind with my posts. This is a catch up post for the last two days. The spots on my torso and hips seem to be fading quite nicely. I'm am also noticing fading along my hairline. I took picture last week and want to take some more today to show my healing. I can definitely tell the skin cell growth is slowing down in certain patches, most noticeably at the hairline. Hubby got me a new camera for my birthday, so I'm hoping to figure out how to use it soon and start posting pictures.
Yesterday was a tough day in avoiding food. Hubby had the day off, so we were out about and ended up eating lunch out. We went to a made to order sandwich shop who also serves fries. It was a struggle to not eat any, especially since they are one of my favorite foods. It was even harder to explain to Bug why mommy can't eat French fries anymore. I found the hardest part about ordering was finding something new to eat on the menu. My go to sandwich at his particular restaurant is a buffalo chicken wrap. So, I went with just plain chicken with provolone cheese, but then I didn't know what sauce to get. I think that is a very diffficult thing to figure when dining out. There is no way of knowing just what goes into sauces and condiments. I ended up eating mine plain which was a little bland, but worth not interrupting the healing process.
Here's the menu breakdown for the last two days:
Breakfast - spelt pancakes with butter and maple syrup
Snack - apple
Lunch - avocado, cucumbers, grapes, and white cheddar cheese(usually once a week we have a day where lunch is whatever I can find in the trudge. We call it mush mash lunch day).
Snack - apple
Dinner - pan fried fish with whole wheat bread crumb crust, black beans, spinach, and avocado all in a whole wheat tortilla with lime juice squeezed over.
Evening beverage - chamomile tea and fresh squeezed apple juice with a lemon.
Breakfast - spelt waffled with butter and maple syrup (special request by hubs for his day off).
Lunch - grilled chicken, provolone cheese, lettuce, black olives, and pickle on a whole wheat tortilla.
Dinner - yogurt and granola.
Evening beverage - orange/lime flavored kombucha.
Be anxious for nothing. But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ. Philippians 4:6-7
