I put in 21 hours work over 4 days last week and all is well.  Though I was brought in for general labour I am learning a lot about the carpentry trade which is a huge bonus.  I worked Monday, Tuesday of this week and after a day off today, (my body needs the rest), I will be working Thursday, Friday.  I've almost finished writing all the parts for a new song, and hope my fellow bandmates will approve.  I have been following my diet, but on the days I work I have been having a sub, pizza, or burger meal afterwards.  I'm not sure if I need the gym anymore with how physical my job is, it's like a 5 hour workout.  I was thinking of training on my days off but my body needs the rest.  Things are going very well, I hope this continues.

I've made it through two 5 hour days, going to be doing 2 more Thursday and Friday.  So far things couldn't be going better, I'm working part-time and playing a lot of music, hope to jam soon with my brother and 2 friends. The only down side is how much work I'm going to have to put in to get my voice back!

I've been offered some labour work, it's occasional, he'll call me when he needs me and is ok with me only putting in half days a few days a week at most.  Every building I'd be working at is within a 10 minute bike or bus.  I've prepared a plan of what I need to bring with me and am really hoping this works out for me.

I measured my weight and bodyfat today, so far I've lost 4 pounds and gone down in bodyfat 2%.  Anyone on medications for mental illness knows that it's difficult to maintain a consistent healthy weight, It would seem my training schedule and diet agree with me on this issue.  Had an amazing time jamming with my brother and friends last night, hopefully this continues.

2 and a half days in and I`ve already cheated on my diet.  Had half a medium pizza today, I decided to enjoy it though, I`ve read that if I decide to stray from my diet I should enjoy it, otherwise the guilt erases the satisfaction and I`m more likely to stray again.  I`ve decided I should schedule a cheat meal once a week, this way I can look forward to it, and enjoy it, without feeling bad about it.  I know it would be best to stick to the plan no matter what ... but I don`t have that kind of dedication right now, plus, I like to enjoy a bad meal once in a while.

My body's adjusting to the high fats, proteins, and lack of carbs.  Felt tired all morning even after some coffee's, but, after going for a workout I feel fine.  So far no difference in my symptoms, but, it's only been 2 days now, patience, patience.

So far so good today.  I'm keeping to my schedule after a busy morning running around to get groceries, and some supplements.  I added MCT oil at the advice of a nutitionist at a local health food store, even though the coconut oil contains this, added amounts are needed for a greater effect.  I must say that I've noticed the mct oil about 15 minutes after taking eat, there is a focused effect (the best way I can put it).  Apparently everything else should be given a 3 month period of constant and routine use to notice the full benefits.  I've also noticed a placebo effect from knowing I'm doing everything I can to become more "brain healthy".  Before this week I was only excercising 4 times a week, I plan on exercising everyday, 4 days of weights, and 3 days of just cardio (in the form of walking for etleast 50minutes).  I will post anytime a relevant change takes place from hear on in, I believe that's what could benefit anyone reading this the most, in place of scheduled posts.  Thanks for your time.
