Harriet - I hear you that you are restricted by needing to care for your DF. could you split the difference and have 30min between each? or you need the fruit absolutely to have its own digestive time. or have eggs mid morning and a lighter lunch? I think you need to just trial variations and see how it goes/ what suits you.
I take thyroid meds too first thing. Some days I do some exercise then - today dog woke me (needing a walk now hes always on leash otd). then I like a drink with little vinegar, slim slice of papaya, and my seed cereal. I try to put some time between all of these but the reality is its difficult, and exercise and a long delay til sustainance is not good for me. The reality is that often the drink and papaya are close together and the cereal is 10 min later - the time it takes to cook - not the hr suggested in my bk.
(book suggests an acidic drink on rising, a 30-60 min walk, breakfast - prefered option is (1 cup berries) fruit and (1 cup) yoghurt, and handful nuts. theres mid morning/afternoon snacks, a suggestion of fresh juice (1/2 cup grapefruit or pineapple ) with calcium and brewers yeast an hr b4 lunch as well as same or vegetable juice b4 dinner.
I find it all impossible. and just try to eat / drink whats good for me as I can. How to get enough water separate from meal times I have no idea.
today it is 2hrs since Tmeds and I'm yet to have anything. Need to do that now.
my reality is tmeds
drink papaya sometimes
seed cereal with cup of milk
lunch - sometimes lately its late and becomes main meal
afternoon snack - unless its lunch dinner combo
evening meal followed by cup of carob milk as dessert
I need cease and desist the chocolate. Yes a definate yes to causing migraine. as did the cocoa powder I used to add to milk.
I'm thinking it will be drink , papaya, eggs in swift succession for bfst today. I really need the water now. theres yoga in less than an hr. Maybe I'll have the pawpaw later..
Just begin.
Living this day, today
Take a reality check; Remember to breathe; Do what I am able to do.
Look for the good in all.
