Hi, everyone.

Not blogging for the past two days was sort of a conscious decision on my part. Tuesday was the birthday (and death anniversary) of someone very close to me, and I normally take that day each year to myself and don't worry about much except self-care. That ended up being two days this year, and I'm fine with that. I also didn't weigh myself either day, because on days when I'm one thing away from a full-on menty b, I don't want to give myself that one thing in the form of the scale. 

Also, (GENTLEMEN AVERT THINE EYES) my period came today-- EIGHT DAYS early!! What's up with that?? I mean, that would explain why my weight hasn't budged in a week and the uptick in desire to write slightly emo poetry, but seriously? Eight days? Ughhhhh...

In general, though, I am not super hungry, craving anything too badly, or feeling like I'm not eating enough. I am going to make an effort to get a little more fat (read: avocado toast with a big glug of olive oil) in my diet, because I don't think I'm getting enough. The protein shake situation continues to improve-- vanilla protein powder, oat milk, the oat milk creamer, and the chai spice blend is a good combination. I'm going to keep experimenting-- maybe with some different berries or fruit. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to know!

Tomorrow is a water fast, and I feel ready for it. I'm also hoping to do some housework and take a shower tomorrow. 

That's all I have for you today. 

Until next time,

Simone
