Report from Peter

Today I walked 5km, that I was able to exercise after a 20km ride the day before, hopefully shows the gout is gone. I am left with an outbreak of pimples on my chest and stomach that I acquired from the numerous tablets that I was taking for the gout attacks, or my kidneys were upset by the amount of gout it had to displace suddenly. its going now.

 

The last couple of days I have been feeling nervous, and insecure. Self doubts occasionally arise, so I think of other times when I have succeeded. The negative thoughts go away. but they do return. I get headaches in the afternoon. I put this down to detoxing, so I drink lots of water and a Panadol if its uncomfortable enough.

August 18 2006

Peter is now making significant progress.  His weight is has reached 93kg.  He is undertaking significant physical work and drinking lots of water.  It is interesting to note how good water tastes when you have undertaken physical activity.  It is almost paradoxical that people that are working hard are less likely to become dehydrated than someone in a sedentary job because the hard physical worker is likely to drink more water.  Dehydration can also be confused for hunger so that people that are slightly dehydrated are more prone to put on weight because they will eat food that they don't need when what they really need is calorie free water.
