This year I was lucky and was able to assemble everything, huzzah!  It was amazing (of course).  I also probably&#8230;ate too much.  Although anytime I have dairy my energy level picks up, I can&#8217;t explain it but if I feel run down and can&#8217;t move and am in a fatigue state &#8211; dairy helps.   Note: I can&#8217;t actually digest most dairy.  I don&#8217;t get it.  I&#8217;ve never eaten dairy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"319\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-from-2022-12-16-13-14-22.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-from-2022-12-16-13-14-22.png 319w, https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-from-2022-12-16-13-14-22-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 319px) 100vw, 319px\" \/><figcaption>I keep playing Pokemon Go at the gym.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason bought me a new stationary bike for Christmas with Zwift integration.

I don&#8217;t even frickin&#8217; remember wtf I did this week.  If anything.  Let me examine the notebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6 Days in the gym on elliptical workouts, 2 Zwift workouts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big storm last Saturday moved in and it&#8217;s been very cold.  Have not made it outside or to the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Moral of the story is if I stay on protein shakes with L-Glutamine \/ N-A-G &#8211;> I can keep the colitis at bay.  I don&#8217;t know why and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s healthy.  protein shakes are just processed fucking shit.  *sigh*  They taste okay initially but God damn, stay on them for awhile and you&#8217;ll start to prefer anything else than those.  Plain Whey is even worse, it&#8217;s nasty.  I rather just not get colitis attacks.  Why do I have to drink that shit to be able to get out of a chair?  I suppose my body is probably burning the amino-acids for energy rather than fat and rather than glycogen.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last month I did not have any seizures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This week has sucked.<\/em>  I don&#8217;t feel like I got anything accomplished.  I feel really behind and frustrated, but also unfocused and like my head is full of bees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Was it the amino acids in the shakes triggering the seizures?  I don&#8217;t know &#8212; I have a lot of colitis issues.  I&#8217;m starting a new &#8216;diet&#8217; after I.F. really hasn&#8217;t brought home the win.  I don&#8217;t burn my own body fat for shit &#8211; metabolically I&#8217;m broken but I&#8217;m almost fucking 50 years old on a really pollution rich existence.  Going old school fasting, Greek Orthodox fasting a few days a week.  I hope it will help my energy level.  I&#8217;m asking a whole lot of my body right now.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically it&#8217;s hormonal shifts that trigger my seizures btw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay &#8212; I&#8217;m out.  Until next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I ordered in Salmon Oil &amp; Marshmallow Root for my friend and kitty cat Poutou.
