I'm a young, vivacious woman with terrible health. I'd like to blame genetics and situations beyond my control for this, but I know it is partly my fault. I decided I was sick of feeling like "twenty five is the new fifty two," so I changed my diet and lifestyle to help fix my declining health. No one my age should have a blood pressure of 190/110. This is where I write about it.

I am not feeling very hungry, but my stomach is doing it’s best impersonation of a doped-up Ozzy Ozzbourne right now. Honestly, I wouldn’t me surprised if I heard it gurgle, “Sharon! Where’s my burrito?!”
I am on an antibiotic right now that says one of the side-effects are loss of appetite. I remember having to take this a few years back (or what I think is the same medication) and it left a taste in my mouth that I can only liken to sucking on a bag full of dirty pennies. Would you be hungry when everything you ate tasted like metal?
So far, no used coin taste in my mouth. I think I’m just tired. I decided to eat the other half of my Vegan fajitas I made yesterday morning. Someone at work brought in home-made salsa, so I put two tablepoons of that on top.
Vegan Fajitas:
Calories: 130; Fat Calories: 20
I am just guesstimating the added calories/fat calories from the salsa, because there were a few little pieces of avocado mixed in.
Oh, and I had a few assorted things this morning as well:
6:45am
1 Topamax Tablet
30mg Adderall XR Capsule
1 Antibiotic Tablet
(I’ll try to remember to look up the dosage/actual name of the medications)
