The beginning of a new year

Currently emptying my brain of all of last year and moving forward. It's always good to de-clutter once in a while. I do wish that I could have at least a month without an endo flare but we are two days into the year and I am sitting here typing with my heating pad on Aruba hot. I went off keto from X-Mas until yesterday so I am sure that played a huge part. Just went back on today so I am hoping my body will be back to normal. This disease is so bizarre and it's just like an endless tunnel that leads to nowhere. I can't wait for the summit coming up to figure out why two years later my body is failing me yet again. Why is it always around the two year mark that my symptoms come back. It's truly a mystery. And here I was trying to de-clutter but I guess this sticks around. Which is funny because endometriosis does stick itself all over the place so how fitting. I will say that diet does alleviate some of the symptoms, for me at least. When I was doing the keto thing for the last year I lost 20 lbs. With that, I lead a normal routine typically ate the same things daily and I actually had less flares. So I am hoping that I can keep the flares at bay by going back on the diet. It truly is a lifestyle change but you find a way to adapt. I am looking forward to this year, hopefully more changes coming my way. My goal is to find lots of new things and put my degree to use. I want to see the world and do a little soul searching along the way.

Onward!
