Just tired today (sleepless). I'm craving fluid more than food. Maybe I'll buy some organic lemonade tomorrow.

In typical hobbit habit, random order, etc. et cetera

--a tetra (1L) of organic veg. broth
--juice of 5.5 lemons
--3 c. raspberries (And no, Shell--I didn't have D!!!) well, that is good
--2 c. white flesh peaches
--puree of spinach with puree of zucchini (dill, basil)
--more zucchini puree with puree of asparagus (herbs de provence)
(I ate the above cold, as babyfood salads with fatfree Italian dressing and a quick homemade grainy dijon honey balsalmic vinaigrette)yum
--honey in fennel rooibos tea (I think I downed at least 4 mugs!)(Oh how I love licorice!!! have you tried Heather's yet? I don't care--I'm going to buy some candy tomorrow. lol I'm going to be a big suck on hiatus
--seltzer
--2 bottles of Propel Gatorade eeeewwww... artificial sweetener....try just the original Gatorade
--a bottle of Aquafina stuff
--I forget how much water but plenty
--3 cups of black UFO to sober up from my sleeping pill hangover with raw sugar

I'm losing my appetite. Maybe it's the sleep deprivation and stress and nausea. Mostly, I crave liquid. My gut feels better with the sports drinks--I'm a lazy skinny person, but the pills I take deplete my sodium levels and I'm perpetually thirsty. I'm trying to drink less fluid. My doctor wants me to drink mostly Gatorade and I'm starting to think she might be on to something.

I also used both iodized sea salt and table salt.

I'm just a tad worried because when I was anorexic, I basically just lived on sugar water and a little fruit and broth. I'll see how long my inclination keeps up, but I have to really force/coddle myself to eat. I'd rather sleep. Could be the weather, too, and t.v. deprivation.

I'm really craving MSG in a bad way. Maybe I should buy some Campbell's soup broth?

Anyways, I probably got enough calories to maintain my basal rate. Just bummed today. Hope tomorrow is a better day!

Kate.
