helwenNot doing too badly on GF this week.
Am also taking an Omega-3/-6 supplement (fish oil one, because humans absorb that more easily than plant types). In general it's better to get nutrients directly from your food, but since I'm working from a deficit right now, the supplement is useful. I know it's helping because when I'm good about remembering to take it, my skin is less dry, among other things.
In general, you get one type of Omega from animals and the other from plants, so even though the plant type is easier to absorb, this doesn't mean you shouldn't eat your veggies :D
As in all things, there are exceptions, which is why a lot of Omega 3/6 pills are made from fish oil. Not all brands are equal. If it tastes/smells of fish, don't use it. That's good in a real fish and not good in a pill.
Hips/knees still get cranky, but more good days than bad, yay. Shoulders are an ongoing project, and I continue to work on work-arounds when possible, for avoiding ROM issues as dictated by the nature of my shoulders.
Friday a wintry mix is coming in, but today is sunny, so happy to soak it in! As are the ginger plants, one of which is blooming.
