165: The South Beach Diet, Continued

An interesting added benefit to losing weight, which I think I may have mentioned here before, is the return of vivid dreams. For a period of up to three years or more, I don't remember having too many dreams, which could be because I was developing some kind of sleep apnea, or some other reason. But as of about 25 lbs off, they started to come back and boy, they were doozies. I suppose if I'm dreaming it must also mean I'm sleeping better, which may in fact, contribute to feeling better in general, with the exception of this week, when I feel both crappy and heavy. I could be eating a lot more fruit with Vitamin C in it. Must remember to pick up some oranges, which unlike grapefruit, is SoBe-friendly.

Felt like I ate a lot tonight, but again I notice that I hardly ever eat past 8:00pm now, which is something I notice a lot of other people in my life (but not in my house) do. I also noted that I was starting to be a little uncareful—I had a frosted cheerio to see if it was stale; i tasted a bite of mac and cheese to see if it had turned; I better watch it. I hope I can get out there for a walk tomorrow, as I'm certain it will help my general humor, which right now, is in the dumps.
