the headache diet

So. . . um. . . yeah. . . what happened to today? It started off like normal: bowl of cereal, treadmill (17), shower, toothbrush, floss, deodorant. . . then what happened with the rest of the day? Looking back, it seems like all I did was pick out some recipes that fit into my new diet (16), go to the store to buy things for my new diet, take care of some email, cook dinner (with some guidance from my mom) (19), eat dinner, and yogalatesize (10, 13, 16, 17). That doesn't seem like it should've taken all day. However, when you consider that I can no longer eat most of the foods I am used to eating and that most of the time in the store was spent frowning at labels and cursing MSG for being so savory that every manufacturer insists upon using it in their delectable products, the day could've seemed a lot longer than it did. I don't know if the new diet is going to be helpful for my head or not, but I have been feeling a lot better over the past week than I have in a long, long time. I think the combination of exercise, drive, optimism, and kind words have done wonders for my physical state of being. . . I think I'll cut this post a bit short tonight. I'm tired. I had hoped to do more today, but the stuff that I was doing seemed to get in the way of me doing stuff. . .

I'm grateful for beds and floofy pillows and warm blankets (20).
