Bad nutrition wise, only got a B+.
But hey, I got like, 95% of my RDI for calcium, that nearly never happens! lol.
I was really hungry today.
I waited until 12 to eat, instead of having a morning tea at 10:30, I don't know if that changed my hunger levels.
Lunch filled me up, but I wasn't really "Comfortable" or "Aware" of my fullness... I just wanted to keep eating.
I stopped however and packed the rest of my days food back into my bag.

Sadly, although sort of to be expected, I was 66.4kg this morning.
Which I am nearly certain is all just water retention from being bloated.
Stupid bowels.
Was really bloated tonight, was really painful.
Gone down a bit now though, so I should be able to sleep. :) Yay.

I feel like it should be Friday, I'm buggered and want to sleeeeeeeep....
But it's only Wednesday, so still two more days of work before the weekend. *sigh*
Oh well, night everybody. :)

Sorry to keep on about this, but if you have an Indian store near you, try and get a mix called 'triphala'/ Its a natural supplement made of 3 barks that tastes GROSS and bitter- but it always amazes me how how it clears my stomach of any discomfort. You need to take it for a few days.

The other thing is when you feel hungry, try eating a little bit of something bulky- like a slice of bread. That prevents gas and helps you eat less at lunch. So dont wait to eat till you are ravenous.

Hope you feel better soon!

I totally hear you on hanging out for the weekend. Except that I have another essay due in then, so I actually don't want time to pass because I haven't done any work for it yet....

A B+ is OK for nutrition. After all, it's obviously a pass. I read on the forums someone wondering why they got a D- and I had to wonder what the hell they ate! I also think the grades aren't that useful sometimes - you can eat well and get bad grades and vice versa.

Sorry to hear you're feeling bloated. That's the worst. Lsami's supplement sounds good - if you paired that with guzzling down the water you'll hopefully feel better soon.

Mmm I certainly need to drink more. I had a headache today, my lips were really dry, and i felt really faint and dizzy. It felt like a food-reaction-headache though. Only I'm not sure what. Perhaps all the vile additives in the crappy milk yogurt i had for breakfast. Anyway!

Isami, we probably do have one somewhere but I dunno where.
Think a pharmacy would have anything like it??
