Time to Get Back to Routine

So I can't totally remember what I wrote in my last post.  I think it was about foods upsetting my stomach.  I suffer from have IBS and Acid Reflux.  These two things that I hope they improve as I get healthier.  I unfortunately seem to get Stomach viruses often and well this last one messed me up pretty good.  Basically it flared up my IBS to the point of not being able to keep anything in my system.  I became very weak and had excruciating pain on my left side abdominal side that radiated down my leg, had some back pain with it but do not believe I have a kidney stone.  Basically I was told by the doctor that I need to continue to take the probiotic, Align.  I usually get my probiotics through yogurt (specifically Greek) and Kefir. This helps stabilizes the good bacteria in your digestive track.  I also was told I need to limit my raw veggie intake.  Raw fruits I need to peel as fiber has a tendency to upset my stomach and not do good.  Well that is still good news.  I was going crazy because the foods I am supposed to eat to get healthy were making me sick but the doctor does not want to discourage me from eating well.  She admit it is harder in my condition but luckily by steaming veggies it breaks the fiber down some.  I am not trying to have this be a TMI post so actually going into very little details but I do know people suffer form these conditions who are trying to get healthy.  Believe me it has been VERY discouraging even with my amazing support system of friends, family and my trainer.  I lost a lot of energy these past couple of weeks and it got very bad Wednesday through Friday.  Even today I had a little setback in pain.  I am tired and want/need a lot of sleep at this point.  Of course tomorrow my body is in for a shock.  I have work and training tomorrow.  It's time that it gets back to my energy level.  I loved the energy I was starting to get from exercising.  I would come home from work exhausted and with the exercising it only happens on Mondays.  Let's just say Mondays at a doctor's office is crazy!  The new found energy has made me start to get things done around the house; hopefully the house will be organized someday!  The positive thing about getting sick I found out my blood pressure is actually good!  For the past year I have had slightly elevated blood pressure when it is usually the low normal range.  It had me concerned as I didn't want to go on medications in my 30s.  I have friends who suffer from hypertension who look very healthy; they exercise and eat well, but genetics got them at the early age of having hypertension in their teens.  I look at them and they have no control over their blood pressure, well at least far less control than I have.  I think it is the matter of looking at everything I do have control over.  Diabetes: runs in the family but I still have control at this time of when I will get it.  High Cholesterol: Again in my control.  I have genetics running in against me if I DON'T decide to get healthy.  So it is my decision to eat fairly well and exercise.  The thing that I need to get back into routine is eating throughout the day.  Being sick made me not eat for a while.  I drank water and Gatorade.  Did not eat because it would upset my stomach and not stay down.  Anytime I get sick like this it is hard to go back to eating 3 meals a day.  So tomorrow I have to start getting back into that routine.  It's all patience.  Maybe after all of this the weight will begin to fly off.  The health is definitely getting there, just would like the weight to be there too.
