💧H20: Your Body's Best Friend 🙂

We all know we should drink more water. But let's be real, it's easy to forget amidst the chaos of daily life. So, let's dive deeper into why hydration is actually a big deal:

1. Brain Power Boost:

Focus & Concentration: Dehydration can lead to brain fog, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Water helps deliver essential nutrients to your brain, keeping you sharp and alert.

Mood Elevator: Studies suggest that dehydration can negatively impact mood, increasing feelings of anxiety and irritability. Staying hydrated can help you feel more emotionally balanced.

2. Physical Performance Peak:

Exercise Efficiency: Water plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature during exercise. Proper hydration helps you perform better, reduces fatigue, and minimizes the risk of heat-related illnesses.

Muscle Recovery: Water aids in muscle recovery and reduces muscle soreness after intense workouts.

3. Skin Nourishment:

Radiance from Within: Adequate hydration keeps your skin plump and hydrated, improving its elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Clearer Complexion: Staying hydrated helps flush out toxins, which can contribute to breakouts.

4. Digestive Boost:

Smooth Sailing: Water is essential for proper digestion. It helps break down food, move waste through your system, and prevent constipation.

5. Overall Health:

Immune System Support: Proper hydration helps your immune system function optimally, making you less susceptible to illness.

Joint Lubrication: Water acts as a lubricant for your joints, reducing friction and improving flexibility.

Tips to Stay Hydrated:

Carry a Water Bottle: Keep a reusable water bottle with you throughout the day and refill it regularly.

Infuse Your Water: Add slices of fruit, herbs (like mint or cucumber), or a splash of juice to make it more flavorful.

Track Your Intake: Use a water tracking app or just keep a note of how much you're drinking throughout the day.

Eat Water-Rich Foods: Include plenty of fruits & vegetables (like watermelon, cucumber, and celery) in your diet.

Late Night quick thing (New Age Sillies)

Bad news: That joke post about including Reset + Orchid is definitely not canon. (I legit got sad thinking about Reset being in a universe where Orchid isn't- because their stories are so so intertwined- but Nightmare 100% would NOT risk the whole twins exploding Error's soul thing.)

Good news: This means I COULD include Kane (Reset's older brother who usually dies in timelines where Reset is born) and use it to develope his character a bit more! Also! Perhaps a Blue × Dream kiddo is finally in the stars for me to design?

supplements i take every day to support my body!! and what they do :) 💗

l-glutamine:

an important fuel for your immune system. white blood cells use it to fight off infections and keep you healthy. It also helps repair damaged tissue.

also many white blood cells in your intestines use glutamine. It helps protect and strengthen the gut, keeping it healthy and preventing damage.

l-carnitine:

l-carnitine helps the body make energy by moving fats into tiny parts of cells called mitochondria, where the fats are turned into energy. It also helps get rid of waste to keep cells healthy.

ashawaganda:

can reduce stress, boost energy, improve sleep, enhance focus, strengthen immunity, support heart health, increase muscle strength, and balance hormones.

chromium picolinate:

helps regulate blood sugar, reduces cravings, supports weight loss, and improves insulin sensitivity.

omega 3 fish oil:

supports heart health, reduces inflammation, improves brain function, promotes healthy skin, and supports joint health.

creatine:

boosts muscle strength, enhances exercise performance, supports muscle growth, and improves recovery after workouts.

after every meal - betaine HCI pepsin:

helps improve digestion, supports stomach acid production, aids in breaking down proteins, and enhances nutrient absorption.

*side note - I have taken a blood test that shows my body does not produce as much pepsin as needed. I would recommend getting a test done to see which vitamins your body needs!! but I do not recommend taking pepsin unless you know your body does not supply as much as your body needs.

🌊 Mood: Embrace the Ocean's Negative Ions Embrace the uplifting energy of ocean air to elevate your mood and reduce stress.

Choose real, whole (organic is best) foods like fruits, vegetables, and meats.

Yes, I refuse to change my bio weight.

*because it's not real* ✨️👀👌🤣🙌

I did make it thru my reading assignment. Woo! Got my quiz and stuff done yesterday. This week they are more assignments so I plan to start today.

Start today and actually study. Get the reading done today and then review review review. Actually study, not just cram the reading and slam the quiz like a pre-concert shot.

My friend wants to make plans to go for a drink the day of the election. I said no. I will not make plans for that. "Oh, are you sure?" Yes mf. I am sure. "C'mon, we should go for a margarita." Dude, WTF. I have had 1 shot in the last almost 3 years. I will not be drinking. I will not be making plans to go out on a weekday. I will also stop talking to anyone who pushes booze on me, that is your problem, not mine. Is it forever? Fucking maybe! And who gives a shit if it is! Maybe it is just for the weight loss portion of my life, but fucking A- NOOOOOO. No no no.

I did go to the UC about my shoulder, and verified it is not broken, it is just a joint injury. Rest it and ibuprofen. I miss working out already.

But it does makes me want some autophagy. 👀

I remember how awesome that was.

It has been so long and I have a metric shitton of loose skin or so I perceive.

I am working today but don't want to be. I am currently on lunch and obviously procrastinating going back to work.

I want to be sitting in my recumbent bike, watching Castle. Reading books for pleasure.

I am at 120 oz water for the day so far.

"YA'LL GOT ANY OF THAT AUTOPHAGY??"

★ thinking about nanami who, contrary to popular belief, is completely oblivious to just how big his dick is.

because this is a man who rarely ever watches porn due to him finding the performances highly overdramatized, so he hasn’t really had the chance to compare his size to other men. and while he’s by no means a virgin, he’s always assumed that the women who have told him he’s ‘big’ were just aiming to flatter him — his mother raised him to be humble, after all.

but it’s not until he gets you (the sweet girl he’s been seeing for the past few months) into his bed that it dawns on him that he might be a little… larger than average, to say the least.

“k-kento— ‘s not gonna fit,” you whine pitifully beneath him, fat tears beading along your lower lashes as you squirm against the mattress. “‘m sorry but... i-i don’t think i can take it all.”

and nanami can do nothing but gape at how giant his cock suddenly seems in comparison to your little fluttering hole, his angry reddened tip trying (and failing) to slowly push past the first ring of resistance inside your spongy walls.

“o-oh, sweetheart,” he rasps out, adam’s apple bobbing harshly as he swallows down the thick lump that seems to have arisen in his throat. “i’m sure we can make it fit, no? just… just try ‘n relax a little more for me.”

“i’ve been trying to relax this whole time,” you hiccup, trembling hands pawing at his bulky arms positioned either side of your head as he peers down at you sympathetically. “you’re just too b-big, ken.”

he exhales deeply, leaning down to press a tender kiss to the corner of your mouth as a form of apology for what he’s about to do— before swiftly using all of the strength in his lower body to thrust every inch of him inside in one go.

and you’re squealing, nails no doubt leaving crescent-shaped indents in the skin of his muscular biceps as you thrash against the sheets, desperately trying to adjust to the feeling of being so completely and utterly full, your poor cunt practically being split in two to accommodate the sheer size of him.

“christ— ah, there we go,” he grunts, sweaty strands of blonde hair falling over his forehead as he forces himself to stay completely still above you, allowing you ample time to get as comfortable as possible. “see, darling? i told you we’d make it fit.”

but nanami can’t bear the idea of you struggling this much every time the two of you are intimate, so he comes to the conclusion that he’ll just have to make sure that by the end of the night, your insides are moulded to the exact shape of his cock.

that way it won’t be such a difficult fit next time, right?
