1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1 Tbsp Chia Seeds

8oz Asparagus with 1 Tbsp Browned Butter

Dessert (8:30pm) - 1 c SF Strawberry Banana Jello
Bed - To Come

Notes - Dang! Slept well with only 1 waking incident of pain, but woke at 5am with massive pain in back and had to get up and sleep the rest of the time in the recliner. The feeling that there's a mass in my lower left abdomen that then presses into my back causing it to hurt just continues to increase. CTs show there's nothing there, but it could be adhesions from surgery or scar tissue. Am just gonna have to get it checked out.

Back down on scale again today. I'm going to eat a very light Up Day today. I might even be under my planned for 1400 cal day. I don't want to bounce up again on my UD. I have an appointment tomorrow with my internist to do my pre-op check-up and also to evaluate some pain I've been having under both sides of my lower jaw up into my lower jaw.

I'm reasonably sure it isn't heart related. I think it has more to do with my back/neck and the tremors that I've been having since chemo started. But need to be sure it isn't cardiac related before going under the knife. I'd like to be at 90lbs lost tomorrow. Gosh I've been messin' around with that magic number for too long now! No matter how hard I try, it illudes my grasp. Grrrr!

    Pain sucks.
    Yeah, I know. Not very original, eh?
    But I can only offer the consolation that you're not alone, and it could be worse - ask Job.
    "Night pierces my bones; my gnawing pains never rest." - Job 30:17
    He had no one left to sympathize with him, and his so-called 'buddies' only wondered what he did to tick God off.

    You, on the other hand have got family and friends and even internet fans to offer you moral support, if nothing else.

    Hang in there, kid.

    Like the doctor who told the little boy who swallowed a quarter: "This too, shall pass..."

      Elwin! Thanks so much for your spiritual uplifting! I adore your bible verses that you give me (us)! I've always admired people that can hear of a situation and then whip out the appropriate verse to suit the need of that moment. I often think they are God's special envoys here on earth, to be so conversant with His Word.

      I know that sounds like I'm a backwoods hick who hasn't taken the time to read the bible! But I really have. As a Catholic, I even was raised up to read it (and the general belief is that "Those whacky Catholics don't read or know their Bible, they use those missals and prayer books written by priests and nuns)... Even though I've read and read and read - I still don't have the special gift to be able to know exactly where to go to get x,y, or z quote!

      And yes, thanks for reminding me how blessed I am! MUAH!!! LOL, LOVE the doctor story! *snort*

      (Um also, haven't you guessed by now we're "Doug & Wendy Whiner"!!! LOL.)

Quit JUDDD and low carb to prepare for surgery.


August 13, 2012 -

Resumed JUDDD schedule while continuing with the Circadian Rhythm Schedule for eating and sleeping windows.


July 23 - August 12 -

I'm starting an n=1 pseudo-experiment today. It's based on experiments with Calorie Restriction and Food Restriction or Food Windows. I'm working with some guidance on this. The idea will be to reset my Circadian Rhythms.New research shows that Circadian Rhythm disruption influences inflammation and obesity as well as insulin sensitivity. These are all areas I'm desperate to address because fixing these areas could allow my body to heal. This could give me a better shot at remaining cancer free.


For the next 3 weeks, I must reset the Circadian Clock inside my body. To reset the CC (Circadian Clock) I need to discontinue JUDDD over the next 3 weeks and simply adhere to a feeding, sleeping and waking schedule. I will be adding a note section at the end of each day in order to evaluate status and moods.

Step 1: Eat a low carb diet without calorie restriction for the next 3 weeks without any type of calorie rotation.

Step 2: Eat all meals within an 8 hour feeding window - 11am - 7pm. Absolutely no eating after 7pm. Non-caloric liquids are allowed on demand.

Step 3: Adhere to a bedtime with total darkness at 11pm and wake time of 6:30am, every day.

Step 4: After 3 weeks I will resume JUDDD Rotations with a 20% Calorie Restriction on Down Days - 500 kcals, Up Days will allow up to 2340 kcals. The JUDDD Rotation will feature low carb nutrition. Continue to follow the FR (Food Restriction eating window, bedtime, and waking time.)

Step 5: After 2 weeks back on JUDDD Rotations, evaluate the ongoing weight loss level I feel comfortable in sustaining for the long term. I can go as high as a 50% restriction and still experience activation of the SIRT1 genes and asthma alleviation. Continue to follow the FR (Food Restriction eating window, bedtime, and waking time.)

***********************************

JUDDD Plan -

What in the Sam-hill, cockamamie food plan are you following? That can't be low carb!! Well, you're right it isn't simply low carb. I follow a derivation of the Johnson's Alternate Day Diet. I tweaked the JUDDD diet, as it's called, into a low carb version.

I choose to follow this plan right now, because I am experiencing dramatic improvement on asthma symptoms, blood sugar control and weight loss.

More importantly, I also experienced a greater than 50% response rate in neo-adjuvant chemotherapy towards a high grade prolific ER+/PR+/Her2Neu- breast cancer and lost 45lbs during treatment - when most people in breast cancer treatment gain 10-20lbs. (KI-67 was 22% with 17mitotic bodies).

Sure, I'm a turtle. Weight loss is slow weight loss. But it's weight loss! Hope that helps bring you up to speed!

The JUDDD diet has quite a bit of testing behind it and is founded upon theories that alternate day caloric restriction activates the longevity gene, the SIRT1 gene.

Suggested side effects of the JUDDD Diet are greater blood sugar control, reduction of systemic inflammation, relief or improvement of asthma conditions, reduction in movement disorder brain dysfunction, and possible anti-cancer effects.

But! Key to remember, I'm an n=1, not a doctor, not a nutritionist, nor allied health practitioner and you MUST do your own research. I'm just a girl who had cancer and is dancing with NED at this point in time.
