Day 7

What Happened

I awoke after 7 hours. Nice! I'd like to do that a little more. Perhaps my sleeping troubles are beginning to end? Not much else to say other than that. I went to work, then picked up a bottle of water and some baby carrots to drive around and look at houses with. I'm thinking about renting a house with a couple of guys, unfortunately there is nothing cheap where we want. Well, there are a few places that aren't to expensive, but there are reasons. I looked at this place today that was strait out of the 50's. Actually, every house on this little street was looking pretty old and in disrepair. But the neighborhood behind this is hella nice. I couldn't afford to rent a trash can in that neighborhood.

Oh, I also got a message from someone today with these special words. "I once ate a bunch of whole kernel corn (swallowed instead of chewing), just to see if it would come out in a cob." I think I know what I'm going to try after this is over.

Eating Schedule

Three raw carrots around 9:30 am. Can't go wrong with ole crunchy. I've taken to eating a carrot in the shower. Is that wrong? I again forgot to take carrots to work, so around 4:30 pm I picked up some baby carrots (1 lb) and a 1.5 liter of water from the store. Those were chewed/drunk graciously while driving about the houses. Around 7:30 PM I baked some carrots. I took 3 carrots and cut them in half. I took the carrots, covered them in oil, and then rolled them in a mixture of garlic salt, lemon pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Then I put them on a cookie sheet and baked them in the oven at 250F for some amount of time that is at least half an hour.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but they were disappointing. Throwing together random spices and baking them is nothing at all like having real breading. I think my garlic salt might just suck to much to actually be using it. I ate 1 more raw carrot, just for good measure. I really need to remember to try eating only raw carrots for a few days to see how it affects my sleep.

How I Felt

My stomach did hurt this morning initially, but it eventually got over it. The toilet is turning into a regular cure-all. I didn't feel hungry until about 11:30 am, at which point there was nothing I could do. Well, I probably should have drunk more water at least. I feel tired right now, which is perfectly normal. In fact, any time after about noon I feel tired, but it gets more so as the day continues I think. It's hard for me to distinguish this pattern from whatever is supposed to be normal for me.

I should point out that I am not looking forward to carrots any more. Downing them is much like eating dirt because you are hungry. Sure you will do it if you need to, but you'd rather do just about anything else.

Oh, and my pee smells something fierce.

Weight Measurement

A pretty 237.0 lbs is being rung up now. I think the steamed carrots are doing their job now.
