I inadvertently let myself dehydrate so my real weight today would probably be heavier. :)

Yesterday something wonderful happened. Absolutely no RL (and still nothing). I don't know if it's just intermittent though so I better not start celebrating but, I did take those vitamins heheh. Well, let's wait :)

Thanks Ninaj! :)

edit: I resumed eating my usual breakfast consisting of dried fruits and nuts lol and I popped another multivitamin today. I'm doing this for 3 days to see if the RL stays away. If it does, then I'm going to stop taking multivitamins and start figuring out exactly what it was that I was missing. RL has been associated with iron or magnesium deficiency which is strange in my case since the foods I'm eating supposedly have magnesium and iron (maybe I'm not eating enough quantity?) I don't know. But it's also true that I haven't been getting a lot of vitamin D (sun exposure). And each of these pills has 100% of its recommended daily dose. So I haven't ruled that out either. There's so many possibilities (and this is, taking for granted that the multivitamin solved the problem).

My legs are still sore even despite not having exercised a lot. I'm blaming this on the RL from last days lol. I've just realized that, it wasn't the RL that left my legs aching. It was the constant unweighted squats I've made to try to make the RL go away the night before yesterday lol(I was sleepy, that's why I didn't remember)

edit: My RL still hasn't come back. I can't express how relieved I am right now. This thing was really scary thinking of the long term implications... It's times like these we give thanks for simple things such as our health... I don't want to start celebrating ahead of time but I really feel like it :)
