Update on the "ADD thing"

Everyone has good days and bad days. For example, I have good days where I can read fairly well, and days where I struggle to focus on a page or computer screen at all. (Someone in a community I read had a good description of it, something about trying to read through a tube that jumps all over the page at random.)

A few months ago, I came up with the idea of trying to track my eating habits and sleep patterns to see if some food helped or made things worse and so on. My diet has ranged widely over my lifetime - everything from sit-down meals at least twice a day with a range of nutritious foods, to eating nothing but TV dinners when everyone was too busy to cook.

I don't remember my diet ever having a really profound effect on my behaviour, but for all I know, it does. How would I know if I've never kept track?

So I came up with this idea to write down what I eat every day and try to evaluate if it's a "good" or a "bad" day, and see if any patterns emerge. Unfortunately, I only managed to do this for...um...a day. Then I forgot about it.

Right now, I think my diet is somewhere in the middle of the scale I implied up above. I don't really eat as well as I should be, and neither are my mother and sister. We've noted this, and tried to come up with better ways to get a full nutritional range crammed into our lives. I think I've been doing better with that this past week - eating more vegetables and less processed food.

( This is such a Catch-22 )
