How are those chia seeds treating you? Do you feel more awake in the morning? More hydrated and energized in general? I hadn't been on them for a while and finally got back on and MAN they really do make a difference in how I feel.
ReplyDeleteI don't know really, I just throw them in there. There are so many factors that contribute to my energy levels. This week I screwed up my birth control and got my period early, so I am all messed up. I am going to stop taking the pill now too, so we'll see how that affects me!
ReplyDeleteYou will probably lose weight from quitting the pill (that's what happened for my sister, anyway), but you may gain a baby. Eh.
