Hey Nithou!  I really admire how dedicated you are to track all this stuff.  It's very impressive.

 

I didn't see on your first post where you were writing a book, but that's fabulous.  Can I ask the genre?  I'm just curious, not for any special reason.

 

I'm a little concerned looking through your food log.  You don't eat much, and you only eat a couple times a day at most.  Have you thought about adding something with some better vitamin/mineral content (ie. spinach)?

 

I admire the 'read 50 books in a year' goal.  That's some hardcore reading.  I'm aiming for 1 a month just to keep the Alzheimer's off.   Cheers!

Hey Lydiechan : )

 

It's my second book, in the first I talked a lot about one human relationship, how it went through life, the trials it endures ... This one is more personal, still talking a lot about feelings but I'm taking the time to write about my break up and the fact of losing someone. It's both hard and some kind of catharsis. But it's going well and helping me a lot

I should totally include spinach and get back on meal preparation, lately I've add way too much eating out and things like that. And I must say that since the break up I'm going through a total relapse. The only thing that prevent me to gain weight in fact is the fact that I'm not feeling really hungry since that event. But I'm slowly trying to get back on my feet, and get back on eating better & especially going back to sport >_>

 

Thanks for the reading goal, it's going quite well too (I'm already at 26 :D), hope you'll go through yours and it'll help your with your Alzheimer (lot of good thoughts from me <3) :3 *crossing fingers*

 

And thanks a lot for the support : )

Hahah!  Thanks!  I don't have Alzheimers.  But one of the most effective ways to combat dementia is to read a lot.   I'm just forward-thinking.

 

Meal prep is a struggle for me, too.  My husband doesn't mind eating once a day, but if I don't get food in me every 3-5 hours I become a really cranky woman.  Probably something to do with blood sugar, but I haven't bothered to have it checked out.  My little brother (age 35) makes a point of buying things that are easily consumable and either prepackaged or easily re-packaged.  It seems like a sound strategy.

 

I suggest looking up the book It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken.  It's marketed toward women, but it is absolutely applicable to men, as well.  It helped me make a lot of sense out of my first (and only) big breakup.
