A new day... going to be a busy one!

I continued to have mild neurological symptoms last night until I finally fell asleep. I took an Ambien my dr. gave me to ensure I got a good night sleep and I did so I feel more at ease today and ready to tackle all the excitement / stress of these next few days. I did eat the chili, which filled me up quicker than I remember. Today I still feel it sitting there to some degree, like a bit of a lead balloon.. ugh. I feel more sluggish than I normally do in the mornings since this experiment. I didn't lose anymore weight over night so that is good.

In reflecting about yesterday I think of several things that might have contributed. I got so busy, I did't eat as regularly as I have been and I realized I hadn't drank either. I may have been dehydrated, in fact I am sure I was. I had been having breakfast full of fruit most every day and I realized yesterday I didn't even eat anything until early afternoon and that was a salad.

The last time that happened where my hands and arms curled up my dr. mentioned that being too low in levels of potassium and calcium can do that and one of my BP medicaitons is a dieuretic. I need to be aware and pay attention and make sure I am nurishing my body. I really believe yesterday could have been avoided. Since the same thing happened before...even worse before ever doing this experiment I cannot blame it on that. I think my rapid weight loss did have a factor coupled with the fact that I wasn't paying attention to eating/drinking.

My blood pressure remains low so that is good.
