update
I had basically no vegetables (a little tomato in the guac) yesterday. I haven’t had fruit since Saturday. Avocados are alien things, not veg or fruit, I’ve decided. :)

I feel less hungry. Bought two of Quattro’s sausages yesterday - the kind I usually like to scarf instantly - and I had a few bites of each at separate times. That’s it.
Energy is weirdly ebbing...
sweet, sweet salad
how I love you.
insomnia and dehydration
Both are happening.
I need WAY MORE WATER EVERY DAY.
and I need to find a way to sleep through the night. This is no good.

so many crazy things today! I had my ears irrigated and my auditory self is SO ALIVE! I can hear the birds like they’re INSIDE my head. I can hear the beads of my necklace click together around my neck, my sweater arm brush against my thigh, the click in the old wiring in the apartment. It’s amazing. I’m so happy to hear again. I also got my MRI. Most important bits:...

new lean plan
inspired by The Robb Wolf formula (here we go):
1550 cals per day
1 g protein X 138 = 110.4 g protein = 552
50 g carbs = 200 calories (3.75 cups brussels sprouts, for example)
must continue calculations shortly
no fruit no dairy
I’ll keep track of the protein and carbs and eyeball the fat.
I want to retain muscle (I’ve already been atrophying since July) and lose...
