September 2, 2021 Day 53

I've been MIA a few days. I contemplated not even counting my "days" but then I decided I've come far enough I didn't want to just give up a couple days. Turns out I didn't have die off this past weekend but I feel victim to this pandemic. UGH! It's more annoying than anything and a total time suck. I did take a break from my herbs as the bitterness was too much for me and I was way to close to throwing up each time I tried to drink them. Even with no sense of smell of taste, I can certainly experience salt/sweet/bitter still. Also when the herbs hit my tummy it is no good! So I made it through Monday and Tuesday morning of herbs, skipped the night time and then took yesterday completely off. I also allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted as not much has sounded good and given the fact that I hardly ate this weekend. I didn't go crazy (hard too when I can't taste whatever I'm indulging on anyway!) but I did cheat and have things like, Gatorade, yogurt, I had some chips, soup, and a half a sandwich. I have spoke with Patrick today via text and he really encouraged me to get back on the herbs and the diet to encourage my body to heal faster. I am going to take the herbs this afternoon and hone my diet back in as of tomorrow. Everything is a little more challenging without being able to taste but I do have plenty of veggies I can have, but little protein/snack options. Hopefully this means my bloggy blog is back on track as well. Until next time it's rest and water for me!
