Yesterday I was insatiable, I don't know why lol...

No RL yesterday night or today morning. I slept fine. I'm going to both exercise and take my multivitamins today.

I called the lab just before closing time and, happily, they have blood tests where missing nutrients can be detected. Now I just have to make an appointment with my doctor. I'm not sure this is related to nutrient deficiency but it's worth a try. It's definitely strange that symptoms appear only one day after ceasing multivitamins intake. It's possible that this is stress related though, or something else entirely...

edit: It turns out that, part of the energy I attributed to banning sugar alone, was also due to exercising every single day. I noticed this when I stopped exercising. Don't get me wrong, banning sugar improved my energy levels drastically but exercising every single day (perhaps along with banning sugar) almost makes me feel like I'm permanently on caffeine (without the jitters lol)

edit: I've incorporated liver pate into my diet because of it's contents in vitamin b12 and iron. I was undecided between shellfish and this but I ended up choosing this :)

edit: Today, at the grocery store, it was particularly difficult to ignore the sweets. They seem to be growing better in my mind, now that I'm not supposed to eat them lol. I went past the aisle where the sweets were and I can definitely say it wasn't easy to resist bringing one. Immediately after my ban on sweets I think it would have been much easier but now it's like the desire accumulates. I have to really watch myself around sweets now lol...


edit: I've just noticed a mistake in my exercise journal. What I meant to say is: "I've decided not to aggravate my RL" :)
