(DAY 11)

YAY!  I went potty this morning.  And lost half a pound because of it.

Doctor had told me to take 750mg of magnesium, which I did.  Or rather, I though I did - but then I looked more carefully at the packaging to find that it was only 1000mg of the ingredient, and the actual magnesium mg was only 50. I TOOK SO MANY OF THOSE GROSS SPINACH PILLS LAST NIGHT.  I also drank two cups of Smooth Move tea.  The combination was very effective, and less crampy than I expected.

Hopefully pathways will remain clear. I feel much better already.

LIKE, WAY BETTER.  I FEEL WAY BETTER TODAY.
It's just been a good day :D

*2nd Dinner, you ask? That's not allowed!
I know.  BUT, tonight is JKPOP. And while I'm planning on leaving earlier than usual, and doing my best to not dance like a crazy person to every song, I know that I will end up burning WAY more calories than usual, and I think eating a bit extra is potentially the easiest way to defend against that. It would be really sad to go backwards, especially after stalling ALL WEEK, but such is my unflappable devotion to JKPOP.

GLOBETROTTING (DAY 7)

Kale chips are my new best friend.  Which is great, because now I've expanded my vegetable options to THREE different things (Lettuce, Cucumber, & Kale)!

Felt half decent today - I'm tempted to say I've finally bumped up to a "7" on the feel-good scale.  But I wasn't a 7 all day, so... 6.85.  Yeah.  That feels right.

I think the best thing I did was eat relatively soon after waking up.  But I also got my second night in a row of 9+ hours of sleep, so it's hard to say what the better feelings were really from.  Anyway, I'm resolved to wait to eat till tomorrow at lunch as per usual, and see if that was the culprit - if it was, then I'll probably start a different eating schedule that's more like "brunch, snack, early dinner, snack," and see if that makes things sit better.  It would also prevent me from eating dinner at 9pm, which is probably a good strategy. You know, for life in general.

In other new, today's been busy. Like, all over the map busy. Woke up, showered, watched some project runway and cleaned the house a bit, discovered ants, went to the store, cleaned the apartment and rid myself of the ants via vacuum, traps, and raid, found out my step-grandmother passed away (T_T), finished the outline for my degree project, and actually started on a memo for class that isn't due for another 4 days. I might try and do some laundry as well. I feel pretty damn accomplished, actually. And what's always surprising about that is I look back on my day and go, "Hey, that wasn't so hard. Being productive wasn't so bad." Which makes me think it would/could/should be so easy to be so much more successful at life than I am at present. :P
