Reactions

Food: I didn't get to try the lunch and dinner recipes from this day. I was in a hurry that day (packing to leave town) and ended up just making some eggs for breakfast, missed lunch and ate dinner out.

Body: I feel pretty much the same. Some headaches, some crazy pimples, my energy level is about the same.
