listening in or just overhearing?
A lady on her cell phone, overheard clearly in the public lobby as I was heading home one night:
"Well I got this call from [well-known game company] and they said it was a hush-hush topic but..."
One guy talking to another, randomly overheard walking to my car another night:
"But $1,000 in cold, hard cash is that much... ... realer than love, y'know!"
This morning at breakfast the mom and son in the booth just beyond us were talking about video games and asking themselves questions about games we publish. I wanted to give them the answers, but I was, y'know, eavesdropping, and it would have been kind of weird. XD
I've completed one week of the food experiment and I'm not dead or dying probably! Yay! \o/ I doubled, maybe tripled my fluid intake yesterday (so four mugs of water instead of one or two, lul) and that made for, ah, smooth going today. Problem solved. XD
So after a week, I do feel like my brain's working slower (that was mentioned as a result of a low-carb diet on some forums/sites I was browsing) and I feel like I get hungry more often and I just wasn't/am not prepared or supplied to satisfy the hunger while still adhering to the strict "no bread/carbs/sugars" rule in addition to avoiding milk, nuts, and beans, not to mention batter-fried meats orz, which I haven't been able to avoid completely. Will continue doing my best, but if there's a next time (and hopefully there won't be a need for it if there is) I'm not going to "start" this type of eating until I've stocked for it. XD I read one article that mentioned those items are actually omitted to help your body be rid of/you become aware of allergens potentially affecting you that you might not otherwise notice.
I don't, fortunately, feel fatigued or tired; happily I think that means that the previous year's work in drastically cutting back on refined sugars and processed foods was a success, health-wise. \^^/ It doesn't appear that I've lost any weight yet but maybe that's my body freaking out at the reduced caloric intake... or maybe the result of not being able to follow the diet as closely as recommended.
And I only realize now that I should have taken benchmark measurements for myself... will do that tonight and mark as "one week in".
At any rate, keeping on, keeping on!
Day 7 (Friday)
- half a spinach-swiss-mushroom omelet and sausage; black tea with lemon (mmm Vit C)
