So I went to my weekly acupuncture appointment today. Because of my work schedule I had to have someone different then my usual girl. She started asking me all kinds of questions about my diet. Basically it boils down to.... I CAN'T FRIGGIN HAVE ICE CREAM! Why, you ask is this a big deal. Well my friends I'm addicted. I've had a love affair on a nightly bases since I was a wee chap in piggy tails. Apparently the ancient Chinese medicine people believe certain foods make your body hot or cold. During trying to conceive you want a hot body. No am not referring to a hot in like Pamela Anderson, I'm talking hot like temperature. Sadly enough, turns out ice cream is in fact a cold foot. Also, I must limit my dairy intake to one serving. ONE SERVING! Bye bye my other love, cheese and milk. How do I make a choice between cheese on my baked potato and my nightly chocolate milk? Not all things you would think are cold are in fact cold. For example wheat is cooling. But oats are warming. So confusing! I can't have any raw veggies or fruit either. All have to be cooked. Why do I even have a refrigerator right now? But, and this is a big BUT, I guess if there is a slight chance it could make a difference, you know I will comply. I may have to cheat though at least one a week with the ice cream. There is just no way under the sun with that much hormones coursing through my blood I will not eat a tub of ice cream in one sitting at least once in the next month. I think I might cry :) Oh and don't think for a second I will be telling anyone else about this other than the DH. I have enough judging going on around me. I don't want to fuel the fire with "hokey" (their words not mine) western medicine. Have I mentioned my life's career choice is in western medicine. They are very snooty about it being the end all be all. So I'll be focusing on my Qi from the inside. Hope it likes the warm, ice cream less, non dairy environment.
Count down until I start Lupron T-37 hours
