In lecture on Monday one of my professors noted that Siberian Ginseng is a good supplement for students because it promotes energy while decreasing stress response in the body. Sounded good to me, so I tried it. I hate taking capsules so I emptied two into my smoothie on Tuesday morning. Half way through class that morning I very nearly threw up! I had to go home after class and lie down so as not to be sick! All day today my stomach has hurt-- I don't know what the deal was with this stuff but needless to say I won't be taking anymore of that!
I've been having an insomniac week. Monday night I couldn't sleep and was awake half the night, then yesterday I had trouble falling asleep despite getting very little sleep the night before. Maybe it was the ginseng.
The scale is not being nice to me this week. Despite several days in a row of really eating well and exercising it has not budged from the scary zone of near 145. Sometimes when I clean up my act I immediately drop a pound or two of water weight but not this week! M. swears I look skinny, so I'm not sure what's happening.
I'm still feeling a bit nauseated and need to go figure out what I'm making for dinner. Maybe a soothing lentil soup?
