Pain is fear leaving the body

I've been a busy bee as of late. So many plans, projects, events, etc. Summer is barely upon us but I feel I'm already moving at a breakneck pace. Instead of the usual work on my elliptical, I've been engaged in other ways. I'm starting to run w/Reese and make him a good jogging companion. I also get out more because of the weather. So walking w/the dogs or exploring the Sound replaces some of my regular workouts. I am considering going to Crossfit w/Travis as I was approached by the owner and told not to let my fear keep me from greatness. Sounds familiar, right?

I am re-implementing my summer schedule:

0500: get up & workout

0600 : check mail/get ready for work

07:15: leave for work

1800: run / workout / weights / Jillian / Pilates

Nutritionally speaking I'm going to implement a mostly pescatarian approach again, having meat once a week and sticking w/fish or alternative protein sources - eggs, garden burgers, etc. This also means ditching dairy again as it's an inflammatory food. I don't eat a lot of it anyway, but yogurt is the only dairy I'm not willing to forgo. I already eliminated most inflammatory foods from my diet, so that shouldn't be an issue at all.

And as hard as it will be w/all the summer parties and events, the big caloric offender has to take a hike - alcohol. It's easy to miscalculate what you're consuming when having a cold adult beverage. To see the greatest result possible I am going to scale this back considerably and take a very limited approach. It will definitely be worth it when I see the payoff. Not to mention, if I end up on the medicine my doctor is threatening me with this week, alcohol is going to be a threat to my health. My skin condition has become much worse over this past month and I had a major flare, so I've been tanning as prescribed by my dermatologist. Unfortunately, the results are not what we had hoped and we're in a last resort status. Back onto methotrexate I must go. Methotrexate is a pill form of chemotherapy and has helped me before to combat this condition. Chemo is no fun, that is for sure, but it works. It really beats the hell out of your liver so you can't drink very much while you're on it. It also makes you feel like hell, flagging energy, hair loss and severe fatigue. Loads of fun. So, that's just another reason I need to get my routine back in full swing and raise my energy before it takes a massive hit from the medication. I figure taking a proactive approach now is  the only way I'll get through this with my sanity intact. They say that pain is fear leaving the body, well, then I shouldn't have an ounce of fear left in my by the looks of things. Between my workout schedule and medication, I'll be pushing through pain on a regular basis. 

Wish me luck and that this next round of training and medication works wonders!

have a great primal day
