Well, I knew it would happen. I juiced my last bunch of celery yesterday morning and forgot to get more. Today, I bought A LOT! That purchase didn’t help me today however!!!

I notice a big difference. I don’t feel as light today. NO extra energy! I’m curious to see how I sleep tonight. I slept from 10:00 to 5:30 this morning. I did wake up many times but I was able to go back to sleep.

I usually look forward to time on my yoga mat. Today, I had to force it. I’m telling you, my energy level has diminished since yesterday. I mowed the yard this morning and could barely finish it. BIG DIFFERENCE without my juice!

I have added a few things to my diet. I will write a blog post on my experience with them eventually.

I sweat all of the time. I truly thought that I was dying. Blood work shows I’m in the throws of the M word! Interesting enough last year bloodwork showed that I was already through it because of my hysterectomy. Who knows! Anyhow, I did some research. I refuse to start any kind of hormone therapy. I am opting for the natural route. I have been taking Maca for four days now. I can tell a huge difference.

I also started 2 tablespoons of collagen peptides in hopes of alleviating my spine and neck pain. It’s supposed to be good for bone and joint support. I know one thing it is good for, making me feel full. I guess because of the amount of protein.

As I mentioned before, my goal was to wean myself off of my antidepressant. With my docs help I started that Monday. Stuart said I just need to keep taking it. ): I have cried several times today for no reason. Coming off this stuff isn’t easy.

If you have any natural remedies for the M word, or experience with the collagen peptides, please share them with me. I’m sweating to death over here!
