gettinghealthySo yesterday, don't really remember much of yesterday. Today, not so bad. I have a lot of head pain, but it doesn't appear to be affecting my mood at all. Part of it may be that the thing I was trying to figure out early in the morning on New Years day, I actually managed to figure out. It's not Sims related, it's not even something that is really important, but figuring out how to get into something I wanted to do after not being able to for three days made me feel really good. Unfortunately once I finally got in I got totally lost again so I'm not sure how well I am actually going to do on it.
We have modified my diet a little, mainly because I think we made the transition to Raw Veganism too quickly and I really like potatoes and wanted to be able to still eat them from time to time without it just being a transport for the sodium that I tend to not get enough of. Most of the day is Raw Vegan, fresh squeezed Orange juice with cherries because apparent cherries have a good pain relieving property although how much that helps I am not sure, also, I don't like Orange juice but with the cherry in it I can drink it. Lunch is a very large salad, what is included depends on what we have and how it tastes to me that day because my taste buds like to change their minds it seems. Snacks, eaten throughout the day are Apples, as many as I want; they may have a lot of calories relatively speaking, but the natural sugar, as with the Orange juice, helps to keep my energy more even, which now that I think about it doesn't really work because I go for weeks at a time either getting 4 hours of sleep a night or weeks at a time sleeping 12 to 16 hours a day; not sure if the natural sugar is really working for me. Dinner is where the potato comes in. Generally the potato is either baked and eaten or baked, mashed, and eaten. On occasion it might be something more complex, but that will be more to keep me interested in what I am eating. I don't think having a potato each day is really going to be that big of a problem with calling myself a raw vegan, unless cheese gets added it is still vegan and raw vegans only have to reach 75% raw vegan for their food intake to be considered a raw vegan so I am still saying I am a raw vegan, just slightly less raw, with the occasional addition of cheese to keep me happy until I don't need it any more to keep me happy.
Anyway, today seems to have been a good day, despite the pain in my head.
