So, today was a good day.  I started out with a lot of energy!  I went to my bible/book study and I was clear-minded and in a great mood.  I came home, got some stuff done and then realized I was "fading"... It started with a mild headache, but slowly turned into exhaustion!  So, I made my YouTube video and wrote in my food journal, cooked my dinner (I had the "egg protocol":) and checked my emails--which was a mistake!  I found some fun things on freecycle that I really wanted, so I went out to pick a couple things up.  Now, I'm VERY, VERY tired!LOL

But it's a good thing I waited up!  If I had fallen asleep I might not have woken up and I would have forgotten my nightly dose of hCG!!  That would have really sucked... So, I take it at 9:AM and 9:PM and I'm taking it now and then I'll go to bed.  I've really been needing better sleep...To think I could be doing even better if I was getting better sleep!  I thought about sleeping in tomorrow, but I'm supposed to pick something up tomorrow at 9:AM.  I made a few other commitments too, that will keep me going tomorrow.

I took two Pau d'Arco capsules tonight.  They are a "cleanse" and I was taking them every night, but I realized I've been forgetting them.  I hope that helps me tomorrow, too.  I had my Yerba Mate "tea" and I always feel better when I take that.  I drank it during bible study.  I'm wondering if my decaf coffee at Starbucks might not be the cause of my fatigue?  OR, it COULD be that when I was this weight before (however long ago THAT was!) I may have been eating a lot of garbage and it stored in my fat cells and now I'm detoxing from it.

My "onion soup" was pouring water into the pan after I fried my steak in water and making a dark "broth".  Then, I cooked an entire medium onion in it (sliced thin) and added some Braggs Aminos and salt and pepper and some apple cider vinegar and it was GOOD.:)  It really was satisfying to eat on a cold day.  I was at first surprised that Dr. Simeons called onions a vegetable to have apart from other vegetables, but I'm beginning to find ways to enjoy it on it's own.  The same with celery.  I have yet to try it, but I've heard that boiled red radishes--mashed--is a tasty "approved" veggie, so I want to try that soon.  They are low in calorie, too, so you can have more.  Onions are low, too...

Well, now I'm off to bed!  Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and make sure you follow me so I can follow you back!
