Healthy Living

This all started with a physical I had to go to in order to continue receiving my anxiety meds. I mentioned my stomach issues and she decided I should try going without dairy for a week. So I didn't do it last week because I still had milk left over (that and I was craving cereal like socialite craves attention). However, I started it yesterday and I've already had some realizations.
For one, most products that typically have dairy in them that are sold without dairy tend to also be missing gluten, making it difficult for me to figure out whether it's the gluten or the dairy. I'm purposely eating my regular pasta instead of the gluten free pasta I bought to see how things go. I actually found chocolate cookies without dairy or gluten in them. They aren't half bad either. I also found lactose-free yogurt that is also missing gluten. The yogurt tastes just like yogurt, meaning I'm reluctantly drinking it down. I also found dairy and gluten free milk chocolate. They used rice milk. I also had it and it wasn't bad either. I'm seriously starting to believe I might be okay if this is the solution because I felt like I was given a death sentence at first.
Still, there's the problem of whether or not it's the gluten or the dairy.
In other news, I'm seeing a chiropractor that's more like a physical therapist for my hips. When we found out I still had health insurance my aunt suggested I see a chiropractor about my hips. She has clearly figured me out because she suggested we go then and actually took the dogs with us and sat there while I filled out the paperwork. If that had been left up to me, I probably would have taken a couple weeks because setting up a time to see a new doctor always makes me anxious. I've had two visits and I'm seeing him two more times this week and will continue to see him three times a week for twelve weeks. I also have two exercises I need to do everyday. The first one is probably the most difficult and uses my ab muscles which are non-existent. This works out pretty well though because I've been complaining about my stomach for forever and this way I don't have to think about what I'm going to do to solve it or research how to solve it- he tells me what to do and I do it. Simple. I like simple. The second one makes me feel like I'm working out in the 80's. It's that lift the leg exercise while you're laying sideways.
Apparently the whole problem is my gluteus medius and how it has no strength whatsoever. I mean, if you google that and look at the pictures or where it is, it's exactly where all my pain has been. So we're relaxing it, working it, and everything elsing it.
I also planned to start using that unlimited yoga classes for a month groupon today but I woke up late. They have a class called "Sunrise" that's from 6:30 to 7:30. I woke up around 6:30 so I just need to get myself to wake up a little before six, like I did in high school, and then I'll be able to go. The class is every weekday morning so it should be easier to follow than something that's once a week. Hopefully, I'll wake up early enough tomorrow.
