I suspect I may be undereating. My mood lately has been a bit low, and I haven’t had as much energy as I’d like. I’ve been eating a decent breakfast in the morning, but I think I may need to drop the protein content a little so I actually feel hungry at lunchtime (or at least by early evening).
I also suspect that I may need more carbohydrates in my diet than I’ve been getting lately, to support the activity level of my lifestyle.
We’ll see.
Tonight I had a couple of different people at Ceroc tell me that I’m looking good. This could be because I managed to catch a little sun over the last week, or it could be due to my ongoing nutrition experiment, but it’s nice to hear.
Also nice to hear are the people telling me how nice I am to dance with. And this includes people who have been dancing for some time now and are themselves nice to dance with.
I made it through to ten o’clock without being completely compost mentis. I was certainly tired by then, mind you, but I still had energy and didn’t have a heavy mind fog. I hope this is the start of an ongoing trend, even if it turns out to be a placebo effect.
Recently I’ve been playing with my diet, reducing the proportion of carbohydrates. I’ve had slightly mixed results; my energy levels have been a little low for weeks, and may even be a little lower than that today, although that could be related to my somewhat disturbed sleep patterns. On the other hand, I’ve been less flatulent the last few days, so I’m chalking that up as a win.
