The right trigger.


Whoa Nelly! Nearly three months since my last post. I feel like it's been much longer since I've felt like I can take on the world. But these last few weeks have been notoriously bad, even for me.

I've been eating poorly; my healthiest meal was likely Subway. I'd gone from drinking one to two coffees per week to having one every day. Tim Horton's became a regular stop on my way to work where I'd fill up on bagels and muffins and a fatass double double.

I'd been sluggish for days. I'd attributed my lack of energy to balancing some wedding planning while packing, moving, and just getting through all of my regular every day stuff.

Yesterday, still sluggish while drinking my third coffee, my coworker asked if I'd been sleeping well. I have, and despite the longer communte I'm not sleeping any less than before the move. She then asked if I take any vitamins. Eureka! It's so simple isn't it... my nutrition has been through the toilet so much so that apparently it's affected my brain.

So I'm clearing all this stuff out of my system. Drinking dandelion root and milk thistle tea to renew my liver. Eating mostly vegetables and protein for the next few days. Reminding my body that it does not need to crave sugar in all its glorious forms.

And find renewed energy to get my house unpacked and life back in order.
