Dealing with ear pain, possible infection. Not fasting today–need to eat steaks we cooked Tuesday but didn’t finish! Praying some, reading some–just trying to get through!

Put more of the drops in after I warmed them, then made the mistake of putting a drop of alcohol in behind that–OW!:crying:

in your ear?..deliberately?..i don’t think thats a good idea…i remember reading somewhere that alcohol dries out skin…so it will dry out the inside of your ear and make it sore

One day without facebook and I already feel disconnected to my friends

Dealing with hunger headache through most of the day. Hopefully I can find a light snack tonight before bed that can get me back in balance…just in time to go protein deficient on Friday.

It’s not comfortable, but the genius of dietary disciplines is that you face them constantly through the day. That means lots of reminders to pray and connect with God. Usually, my mood with a lowered blood sugar isn’t so hot. But focusing on God makes it a net gain. Of course, if I lose that focus, I might not be much fun to be around.

Adequate hydration helps as well, particularly things that are not too cold.

Are you avoiding protein on purpose? There are plenty of ways to get protein without eating meat. Protein is an important nutritional building block.
