Accentuate the Not Entirely Dismal, day 3
These are the best combo of paleo-friendly and delicious brownies I've tried. Even people I know who can (and do) eat regular brownies like these. They are amazing. I've posted about them before, but I'm putting the link here again, just in case you missed it the first time around. They're so good, you guys.
As soon as I finish my current supply of shampoo and conditioner, I'm going to try DevaCurl. I expect this to happen sometime in the next nine to twelve months, judging by how long my previous bottles lasted. I don't wash my hair very often.
And now: Content!
Okay, so one of the reasons I was so fucking down on Monday is yeah, I was stupidly bloated and tired, but I'm 99% sure I was stupidly bloated and tired because of Sunday's boxing session. It felt great while I was doing it, but maybe it was just too much adrenaline/cortisol. My hormones go haywire when I'm stressed, so it's likely that the level of exertion was too much. I'm going to try it again this Sunday just to see, but I'm not gonna lie, that's horribly discouraging.
Something that made me feel good, though, was that I managed to make myself incredibly sore and worked my forearms to utter fatigue (seriously, I couldn't pick stuff up) during the session without spraining/injuring anything (other than the blisters between my ring finger and pinky that are from the glove and, according to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mckitterick, fairly inevitable until I build up a callous). Same with my front kicks (I wasn't up to doing any fancy footwork stuff). So I was punching (and kicking) with a good amount of force and quality form, despite taking such a long time off from practicing. Fuck yeah muscle memory.
And finally: During the next five days, post three positive things about your day and ask three people to do the same so the positive attitude can gain some ground.
1. I was able to fall back asleep almost immediately after waking to thunder this morning at 2am.
2.mckitterick found a tolerable-to-me solution to the problem of Where To Put The CrockPot since he doesn't like to heat up the house or the smell of chicken stock cooking.
3. My jeans fit again (finally) after Monday's Horrible Swelling Episode.
ETA: and I somehow just deleted yesterday's post? Christ.
