Welcome to Gaia! ::

I made it to MA class a couple times this week, but mostly I didn't train at all and felt like a lump. confused It was pretty terrible.

It's just an off week, I guess. I don't know.

Don't worry about it, I've been having similar trouble. I think that the seasonal change is affecting a lot of us and throwing us off course.

My chickens have almost stopped laying, a sure sign that its Fall.

Godddd I hate when that happens! Cocoa is SO yummy, and it is SO bad for my skin!

I was taking Emergen-C vitamin powder every day for a while, but the sugar content of that makes my skin spotty, too. Vexing; vitamin supplements are good for me, but the pill kinds tend to have negative effects on my body in other ways.

*cheers!*

The HFCS dilemma gets to me, too. I stopped drinking soda, for the most part, and I don't do a lot of fruit juice, either. (Beware: "juice made from concentrate" can very easily mean there's high fructose corn syrup in the concentrate and they're just not telling you.) It's trickier with bread, and sometimes my wallet decides for me -- but I figure keeping my intake lower is better than eating it all the time.

Really, though, the only problem is in buying fresh ingredients and cooking from scratch, instead of pre-made things. Cooking kind of sucks sometimes, but at least you know what you're eating that way.
