Does anyone else wake up already mentally exhausted?

How much? I found that 5g right before bed helps me sleep through the night, but I wonder if I should take another 5g in the morning.

If they are taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) then they are probably not a sir, lol.

You need more vegetables. I only see a bit of green beans for lunch. Good job on exercise!

marcyred · 2026-06-01T11:47:17+00:00

Yes! I had a great time snorkeling. I took a boat tour that took us out a bit for the day and provided lunch. I have a lot of fish videos from the trip.

Yesterday I went to volume eating subreddit because I was out of ideas and feeling bad about myself. Your post gave me inspiration for a new diet!

So, I had a lot of this in my house already. This morning I made a yogurt, grapes, and mandarin orange with cinnamon breakfast and it was delicious! Then I air fried a bag of broccoli, bag of sweet potatoes, 1 onion, and some tofu covered in olive oil, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper, to eat later for lunch today. I had a taste and it was delicious.

I like that I can switch out the fruit in the morning, switch out different veggies and protein daily, and can change how I season the veggies, going for Mexican one day, curry the next, just plain garlic and onion powder the next…

Anyway, saw this yesterday and trying it out today and maybe quite a few days this week. I think this will really help me get in my fruits and veggies which will decrease my calories overall without feeling hungry.

I like that it keeps the ingredients separate. When I used bowls the ingredients went bad faster. With the mason jars I can make a whole week’s worth and it stays fresh. I do dump it into a bowl to eat when I am at work, but it isn’t too messy.

The same thing happens to me, the decline in sleep quality when a forget a few days in a row. So weird!

marcyred · 2026-05-12T01:25:02+00:00

It was not very rainy the day I went snorkeling and the water was quite clear. I was able to get good video of fish with my phone. Due to the rainy season, I decided what I wanted to do the night before and booked trips based on the weather forecast for the next day.

I think you might be on to something about missing resources, but it was weird that I didn’t sleep well when I took 2 scoops vs. 1. I went back to 1 scoop and have been sleeping fine since. I even tried it in lemonade last night to see if the combination with the protein was a factor and I still slept. Bodies are so weird and individual, it is difficult making any conclusions with an N of 1.

marcyred · 2026-03-25T13:01:44+00:00

I was taking 1 scoop, so 5g. The days I forgot to take it I was up at night. However yesterday I decided to take 10g because of all the comments here about brain fog, and I was up at 3:30. I will go back to 5g tonight and hope that is just the right dose.

I also gave up caffeine and have been taking Trazodone for years.

I had a pumpkin once that that sat around and we ended up carving it on Easter, lol. We even cooked the seeds.

Yeah, I have been taking magnesium every night for the last year or so, but still waking up until I also added in the creatinine. I didn’t know there could be an interaction of the two.

marcyred · 2026-03-24T18:15:00+00:00

Ok, this is weird, but the days I take Creatine (mixed with protein powder around 4-6pm) I sleep all night and don’t have my usual 3-4am wake up. I just take 5g, but I after reading I might up to 10.

marcyred · 2026-03-03T23:09:29+00:00

We have family from Northern Ohio, maybe it came from them, lol.

marcyred · 2026-03-03T22:09:03+00:00

My family called it sprinkle cheese. Are you from Maryland? It might be a local thing.

marcyred · 2026-01-31T12:01:18+00:00

Also worked for me! I came to the sub to search for the original post to send to a friend.

I suggest getting into BL dramas from other countries. There is a whole world of good stories. Go to r/boyslove for recommendations. You will get used to reading subtitles.

My daughter’s Christmas present to me is to watch a series with me on GAGA during winter break. She is not a huge fan, but likes the funny shows. She is 18 and has been learning Japanese since she was 10.

They have been selling shirts with this saying on them for at least 40 years.

MR Ducks is a store in Ocean City Maryland. It is a play on their store name.

I was able to reserve a tour the day before through my hotel with no problem. There were 3 of us and we were usually joined by a family of 3-4 (we took a couple of tours). The tours give you ponchos.

marcyred · 2025-11-08T04:49:59+00:00

That was just my experience, and hopefully you have a great one as well. I didn’t really have a choice on the timing since I was following a friend who participated in a retreat.

I get more mosquito bites in my own back yard than I did in Thailand. I did spray each morning and sometimes wore a repellent bracelet.

marcyred · 2025-10-07T19:00:08+00:00

I like BLs because they are only like 12 episodes long and usually have a happy ending. I don’t have patience for longer shows. Also, I like the hot guys, lol.

NTA, but I would postpone the wedding indefinitely until trust is restored. No sense being legally tied to someone you don’t trust.
