I've lost about ten pounds now, and I'm looking to lose another ten. If that happens, I'm in a good spot, and I'll start squatting again. I've been working really hard on flexibility, to keep my hip flexors from shrinking again, and increased joint supplements.

I've drastically upped healthy fats in my diet, which makes my metabolism more fat- ( Read more... )

I started being more careful about taking my biotin supplements with food...and over the course of two weeks, my eyelashes got significantly thicker/longer. I can't believe it makes that big of a difference. I have a bunch of baby hairs, too. Maybe I reached the limits of what the dosage I'm taking can do on an empty stomach, and now I'm seeing ( Read more... )

I'm conflicted about what to learn next. I'm definitely very comfortable in C++ now, so now what?

I still want to implement some apps, but I'm also thinking about perhaps doing some machine learning.

The thing in short supply is time.

I had a wheatgrass drink for the first time in six months, and it did something major to me. I'd also stopped taking my skin probiotics, but I started that again, and I got more of my antioxidant powders, and also matcha.

I'm going to detox.

After a few weeks of healthier diet, I woke up at 2:00am today. I don't know if this is just a healthy sleep pattern or what, but working out, very good diet, all makes me wake up incredibly early, and I'm finding it very frustrating.

For awhile my sleep pattern was more normal, but I'm realizing that it is largely grogginess from a crappier diet.

I've decided to resume personal training. Personal training worked REALLY well for me for about two years, but I had to take a break. Now I'm interested in doing more weight lifting with a trainer. Working with a trainer gets you way better workouts, and you don't forget to work certain muscle groups.

I'm a teeny bit scared to start working out a ( Read more... )

I'm going to be bleaching my hair again soon. I scheduled an appointment for balayage, and with my hair being so thick already, I'm really excited about how thick my hair will be. (Bleaching your hair makes the hair swell, so it looks a lot thicker. Bleached hair is always more full than hair that hasn't been processed.)

I've also been using ( Read more... )

I ate a huge plate of colorful vegetables today. I ate tons of peppers, eggplant, and sweet potato. My digestion seems even better since I took the high dose of Oil of Oregano, and my head was swimming. Everything looked amazing.

I stared at clouds for an hour after that. The sky looked so beautiful. I feel euphoric, even now.

Food is powerful ( Read more... )

The days are starting to get longer. The sun comes up sooner, but it still gets dark early. I can watch the sun come up, and it is beautiful.

The world is really not the same when I'm healthy.

It is so weird what brain fog does to you. It is like you can't perceive things correctly. You can't really tell what is going on. When my thinking is clear ( Read more... )

I've taken a few days off, and during this time I've eaten a diet very high in healthy fats, vegetables, and I've had time to take all my probiotics. The world has taken on a different look, like a magical fairy land. It sounds kind of nuts, but really extreme diets that eliminate any and all junk foods do something really dramatic to your ( Read more... )
