Economy of Design - Day 10

Going to surmise that yesterday's beastly headache was brought to us by a lack of minerals, and vitamins. It's certainly not salt, because everything non-sweet that I eat is liberally salted with zee Himalayan pink salt, or kosher salt. I only use standard-issue table salt when we're at a restaurant. I can't speak for what kind of salt they use in the Factor meals, or the Pork Panko, but at least I have replaced it for topical seasoning. I probably should consume some format of vitamin B, and some magnesium, as well. I have noticed that sleep is starting to become an issue, especially going to sleep. Those should help level things out. 

I use these mineral drops I got years ago, just a few drops: 

It's got this: Magnesium (ConcenTrace) Amt Per Serving:200 mg % Daily Value :50%,Chloride (ConcenTrace) Amt Per Serving:800 mg % Daily Value :24%,Sodium (Utah Sea Minerals) Amt Per Serving:120 mg % Daily Value :5%,Potassium (Potassium Citrate) Amt Per Serving:150 mg % Daily Value :4%,Sulfate (ConcenTrace) Amt Per Serving:50 mg % Daily Value :N/A,Boron (ConcenTrace) Amt Per Serving:950 mcg %; Other Ingredients: ConcenTrace, purified water, Utah sea Minerals potassium citrate, citric acid.

Supposedly the stuff you need. We'll see what it do. 

There's not a lot of excitement here on the ranch ... My work days are mainly the same - very sedentary, very digitally focused, with random live or chat-based communications with my colleagues. I did order myself a new chair. I just got one, but it's kind of crap, and since the boss paid for that one, I won't make him pay for the second one. Probably another week before it gets here, but I can dream about all that cushioning: 

I have learned that the negativity surrounding all the assorted socials is just not for me. I forgot that having an opposing POV and saying such, out loud (digitally) is not allowed, and you must follow the heard, fall in line, and not say what you REALLY feel, lest you be publicly hung by the digital neck. Yawn. The more things change, the more they don't. I'm happy just visiting once or twice a day, checking out (at a rather high rate of speed) what's going on, and then moving on. 

It also confirms the fact that I am not currently, or probably ever, built to become any sort of YouTuber, TikTok-er, or other being who lives on camera. Nope. Life is too short to be ignored, to be ripped apart mentally by the oral vomit of the comments sections, and it's just not something I think I'll ever do. I won't say NEVER, but not now. As I have mentioned before, I have zero tolerance for BS. 

Ironically, after mentioning that fact, this popped up in my Book O' Faces memories the other day: 

Therefore, unless you are the one or one people who REALLY know me, you probably will never know my feelings on politics, religion, or anything else that may cause a ruckus. Nope. 

Maybe in the morning, I'll complete that 90-Day Letter, and share it tomorrow. Let's see what I come up with. And, with that, I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for stopping by! 

Day 10 Progress

Weight: 208.6

What I ate:

- The morning coffee

- TWO grams of a scrap of Muenster cheese 

    I opened a new pack of cheese, but a different brand, which is much bulkier than the, I think, Sargento slices we had. Thus, this one actually measured on the food scale. 

- 1.5 Popcorners chips

- Another Chicken Florentine Chaffle Sammich (with the leftovers from the night before) 

- 11 grams of Spicy Dill Pickle almonds 

- The Afternoon Coffee 

- Nine more grams of Spicy Dill Pickle almonds

- Garlic Pork Tenderloin with Asiago Cauliflower Mash & Pesto Green Beans

My Reality 

Still, this is one of the better meals I've had, especially the green beans. Phenomenal

I really wish they'd find a way to make sure the cauliflower mash wasn't so soupy though. Also, there's my stellar kitchen lighting, so that made matters a touch worse, but still ... 

- Epic Sea Salt + Pepper Pork Rinds and some chip dip
