Perhaps some of you may also be taking a ton of vitamins and supplements (like 10 or more, not just one or two) and can advise me. I've often flaked out on taking supplements in their full recommended dose every day because it kills my sensitive stomach. If I try hard to stick it out and endure all the intestinal pain, will it get a lot better? ( Read more... )

Finally. A femslash pairing for Supernatural that I can get into! *cheers* -

My cold is notably better, and seems to have cured the sinus infection, oddly enough. And you know, I think my fast turnaround may in fact be because I stopped the antibiotics and started taking Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics instead. In which case I could have saved $200 by not going to a doctor, even after the somewhat high cost of the probiotics ( Read more... )

Normally I really dislike the taste of yogurt, unless it's frozen yogurt, but I decided to give a few more brands a try as part of my recent diet efforts. Although the rest of the brands tried were a bust, I'm pleasantly surprised how much I like Wallaby Organic yogurt cups. It does not have that nasty sour yogurt taste that every other brand ( Read more... )

Attention fellow Americans on my list - if you haven't voted yet, I implore you to do so. Unless you're going to vote for McCain. Just kidding--I think the most important thing is to have voted at all. Absolutely, you should make an informed vote on your own conscience and beliefs. Nevertheless, if you voted for that man, I don't particularly ( Read more... )

10 year study reveals that bisexual women more monogamous than lesbians or straight women. I wish they had more on the study, it sounds really interesting.

Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in the same movie. :o *glee* I'm sold. I'll probably mostly enjoy it even if it's bad ( Read more... )

Kellogg's is sponsoring free blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, you can see if there is one near you here. Apparently Nevada is one of the three states that do not allow this kind of event, so my closest one is 75 miles away, which is a shame, since I could really use a cholesterol check (since my last one was about 6 years ago or so, and ( Read more... )

Diet this week - Let's see, not weighing myself right now because it will probably be falsely high because of the usual period bloating, but here's the calorie counts - 1326, 1492, 885, 1123, 1059, 1037, 1823 (cookoff estimate), which gives me a average of 1250. So theoretically I should have lost some weight maybe ( Read more... )

Diet this week still a failure, probably because I didn't have any exercise at all. Calorie counts over the week were 1509, 1448, 1252, 1693, 1745, 1296, and 1256, which seems not too terrible, although my cholesterol and fat grams were unusually high (greatly because of pizza this week probably...and the store-bought apple pie). Sitting at 129 ( Read more... )

Calorie counts this week - 1295, 1315, 856, 1498, 1564, whatever ungodly amount I consumed at the Wine Tasting plus 200, and 1376. Weight is 128 today, leaving me one pound less than last week, but I was at 126 before that evil Wine Tasting. Not that that is going to stop me from going to those. (It was very fun and mostly tasty except for a few ( Read more... )
