Discipline Schmiscipline

Fall down go boom a bit today, although did manage a half day at the office. Am continuing to read up on the RPAH Elimination/Failsafe diet and keep coming across the warnings that you can't do "your own version" of the diet, or eliminate selected groups of chemicals and not others.



Which is what I've been trying to do. With some success, I might add, but I've become greedy for health and so I'm going to step it up a notch. So, it's time to sacrifice bananas and chocolate and fetta cheese, and no more sneaky carrot in the cabbage. Somehow I will need to find a source of freshly slaughtered meat. Perhaps I can train the cats to bring in young beef cattle instead of crickets.

Hmmm *has visions of Wile E. Cyote moments chasing a sheep across the landscape*

Given how radical the first changes have already been I'm not too concerned that I wasn't able to go "all the way" straight up. I may yet not be able to do it - the complete program involves avoiding chlorine!

Off to the clinic tonight for the sleep study. I hope to take pix (or rather have them taken) of my electrode-encrusted lab-rat self.

From the RPAH Failsafe site: "Swimming baths containing chlorine or chloramines can be problematic for failsafers, a subset of which are chlorine sensitive. Chloramines have been found to trigger asthma attacks in children."

The pool I go to now (Kingsway Zest Health Club) is much less eye-smarting than some I've been to, so I'm hopeful this won't be a problem. It was just another one of those read-and-panic-briefly moments the internet is so good for:-)

Yup the internet is a big scary place like that :-)

Chlorine pools tend to be smelly. However I've found Claremont Pool to be hardly smelly at all. Its outdoor, geothermally-heated, and chlorinated (and so un-smelly that I just phoned to check about the chlorine).

Hope the sleep-over is useful btw. Yay photos!
