Day 25 and Day 26 combined

As this winds down and I have the finish line in my sights I feel the need to combine posts. This week has been tough. I mentioned my struggles with RA over the years and how I've only had one flare up since starting CrossFit previously. I think I over did it on Sunday - sprinting like a maniac. I am still sore and haven't recovered fully. I believe I'm having a mild flare up.

I mentioned to Joe how sad it is to remember that I used to be in this place constantly. The flare ups used to put me in bed though and this is a far cry from that. After experiencing life without this mess, my tolerance for pain and fatigue is much less. I keep hearing Dr. Seton, my rheumatologist, in my head yelling - "take the methotrexate too!" Eh....

The sage wisdom from Joe is that I am ahead of the RA, but not far enough. I need to continue eating clean and double my fish oil intake (for no more than two weeks) to see if that helps at all.

Christy asked me what I was going to eat first after this is over. Funny....I didn't really have a craving for anything in particular. I said wine though. Probably not wine...probably some of Damema's limoncello that has been steeping in front of my face for the last 2 weeks.
