 Hi, everyone!

Well, thanks to the hormones, I've been in my feelings all day. I didn't get much done today, but I did take a shower (a very high-difficulty executive function task for me) so I'm proud of that. A full-day water-only fast during Shark Week is rough. But I did it! I have a feeling it's going to be an early night for me. I'm totally wiped. 

Until next time,

Simone

 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

 Hi, everyone!

I had an absolutely glorious day today, doing pretty much nothing. Yeah, I know, I'm going to have to get some homework and some housework done during this break. But today I gave myself permission to luxuriate-- it was well-deserved, I think. Tomorrow I'll actually do some stuff, including a shower, some housework, and some reading for school, especially for my sacramentology class. 

Oh, remember that midterm I was sure I had bombed? Yeah, about that. I just got the Canvas notification, and I got a 94%! Apparently, my professor was feeling charitable-- thank goodness!

Still not having a hard time figuring out what to eat, feeling deprived, or hungry. Obviously, I'm craving certain things, but that's to be expected. I'm pretty proud of myself. 

Until next time, 

Simone
