Well I haven't blogged for a while. It's been an interesting few days. I've been trying to wean myself off the tranquiliser medication without the best results. On Friday morning I had to phone the psychiatrist to get more medication because I probably wouldn't have been able to sleep through the weekend. It was a puclic holiday as well so I ended up waking her up so she could fax through a script. Now I'm trying to take one a day. I lasted most of Friday without taking one but couldn't fall asleep so took one then and again Saturday morning and Saturday evening to fall asleep. It's Sunday Afternoon about 4:40 now and the weather is pretty miserable and cold. I haven't had a tranquiliser today though, looks like we gonna try go for just one a day.

Today I went on a shopping spree at Cavendish. I picked up my dad and my sister first since I haven't seen them for a few days and they came along. I went with the intention of buying ingredients for a peanut chicken crock pot recipe, steak tartare and also buying a food processor and a garlic press. All my missions were successfully accomplished. I even found some glass jars while I was there so that I can make my vegetable juices in massive batches instead of having to make them 2 or 3 times a day and all the hassle that that entails.

I also bought a weighing scale so that I can check up on my weight. I got a massive fright to see that my weight is 57.6kg according to this thing. What the hell. That means I must have lost like 7 or 8kg in just a few days. How did that happen? Madness, unless of course the one scale has been incorrect all the time but I somehow doubt it. Maybe it's the masses of vegetable juice I've been drinking with minimal carbohydrates. I'm not sure if I must just give my body some time to get used to the more "high protein" diet or if I should go back to a more mediterranean diet like Mary-Ann. I thought I had been eating enough calories but maybe I was completely wrong. Or maybe my body isn't used to turning proteins into energy and calories. I am a little worried I must say.

So I just ate my first ever raw meat. I made steak tartare with free range beef from woolies. I only had a small section. Maybe like 30-40g or so. I didn't want to vomit at all or anything. It was quite nice in the end. I defnitely think I can do it again. Let's hope I don't get any parasites now or if I do that it's for my overall health. Primal diet for me or not? We shall see.

Right now though I think I'm gonna try and play some poker and then see what happens. I might make myself a high carbs dish just now to maybe slow this "detox" or maybe just cause my body is craving carbs.
