Unfortunately, I'm still not really all that stable. One day, I'm okay. The next, I'm super fussy. Eventually, I'll figure this out. I know the problem is vitamin C (because I changed brands) and vitamin D (because it is so dark out). There may also be other factors, or I might just be having trouble getting the quantities right. This isn't that ( Read more... )

So, I've given up on dieting for the moment and am focusing on being healthy. I may have already said this. Already, I feel so much more healthy and able to do stuff. Yay for having energy! Anyway, so that is going well. Also, being super careful about my blood sugar has helped, although sometimes it is still low. However, I am more likely to know ( Read more... )

All is mostly okay. My blood sugar is doing better. I've decided to focus more on exercise than losing weight, since it is next to impossible to lose weight during menopause. I'll just be chunkier for the next 5-10 years. Annoying, but I can at least be buff too. We continue to go walking. Russians continue to not be very into wearing masks. * sigh ( Read more... )

So, last week, I was feeling really good. And then, I wasn't feeling so good. At first, I thought it was not enough calories, because I was tired and listless. However, peanuts and cheese didn't entirely solve the problem (also, I wasn't totally starving). I was kind of stressed about this, because I had no idea what to do. Did I need more vitamin ( Read more... )

All is well. Everything is mostly the same, but I am definitely feeling more healthy. My exercise routine (thanks to fitness watch thing) is going really well. I feel healthier than I have... maybe ever. Also, I have decided to try meditation for 5 minutes after each round of exercise (once an hour), and it is much much much more effective than ( Read more... )

Um, we're still inside. I finally realized that I can spend a lot of money to have my vitamins sent to me from the US if I can't buy them here. With that realization, I promptly increased my DHEA, and now I'm feeling much better (at the moment). I also realized that I could plan out what video games I will play, like I plan out what books I will ( Read more... )

We're still in quarantine. We're having fun playing roleplaying games. I discovered that an increase in salt causes an increase in cortisol, which turns out to be a diuretic, which causes dehydration, which causes low blood volume, which causes knee buckling, high pulse, and confusion. However, too little salt can cause problems too... and so can ( Read more... )

All is well here. I continue to focus on writing. Honestly, that makes me pretty boring (although I'm actually pretty boring anyway). However, due to feeling better after increasing all my supplements, we were, as probably previously mentioned, able to get out to the immigration center and turn in the paperwork for our free Russian medical ( Read more... )

Things are finally looking a lot better here. Having increased DHEA, vitamin C, and phosphatidyl serine, I feel a whole lot more functional. I'm hoping that I'll be able to continue feeling good long enough to get things done that need to be done ( Read more... )

This week has been more of a challenge than last week. I did get blood drawn, which knocked me out for two days. Then, there was tai chi, which also made me tired, since I didn't eat tons of extra food (ie peanuts) to compensate. I think yesterday I also was a bit too conservative with the carbs, so I ended up pretty tired. Now, finally, I feel ( Read more... )
