Yay! I made it a month with some consistency. I only missed one day of massage, and it was because I was having a pretty intense depressive episode (didn't even brush my teeth that day). And I was good with my diet and supplements more often than I wasn't (going out of town and holidays/birthdays were pretty much the only things that threw me off). So I'm going to treat myself by making a nice, homemade scrub that I can use on my breasts in the shower and bath. There are some lovely recipes for DIY scrubs here: http://www.homemade-gifts-made-easy.com/...scrub.html I think mine will be made of coconut oil, brown sugar, and a calming essential oil mix that I have.
What worked this past month?: Massaging once a day, giving up sugar for the most part, incorporating regular consumption of avocado and yogurt by having a smoothie every day I possibly could, whey protein every other day or at least a few times a week, switching from black to green tea, switching from regular fish oil to cod liver oil, drinking lots of water
What didn't work?: Well, sometimes, I really didn't want that avocado smoothie. I don't want to have negative feelings toward anything in my routine. Maybe I should start having it every other day rather than every single day? Maybe I can have the avocado in a sandwich one day, then in a smoothie the next day. I'll just make sure to still eat yogurt on the days I don't make the smoothie.
What do I need to work on?: Sleeping! I need to get to sleep by 10 and sleep for 8 hours. Glycine has been underwhelming so far. I will keep trying to refine my bedtime routine and sleep schedule. I might try getting up earlier. Maybe that will help me fall asleep before midnight.
Current supplements:
Alive! Women's Energy (every other day)
Nature's Truth Hair, Skin, & Nails (on days I don't use the Alive!)
Cod liver oil
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
B-complex
Nature's Bounty Acidophilus Probiotic
Not Just Protein Vanilla Protein Powder
Incorporating this month:
1. Morning massage in addition to nightly massage. 300 circles around breasts, with a "smooshing" massage 25 times after each 100 count (will explain this in a bit).
2. Consumption of hummus every day, or chickpeas in some form (hummus is just the easiest, and I never get tired of it so it's also the tastiest way and the way that has the highest likelihood of ensuring that I'll stick with it long-term). Inspired by this: http://idealbite.com/foods-that-increase-breast-size/
3. Exfoliating my breasts three times a week with my nice new scrub!
As for the "smooshing" massage, I found this video (excuse her language and masculine delivery in advance): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVOD-EI8-so&nohtml5=False I tried the massage where she's sort of squeezing and squishing her breasts, and wow, I think there's something to it. Whenever I get finished doing it, my breasts feel super round and fat. And I think they look closer together, too.
My thyroid levels are a little low, apparently. Yikes! My doctor asked for me to come in for more labs, so I went in this morning and got more blood drawn. Praying everything's okay. I don't want to wind up on any medication.
Here's to a new month-long streak on my program! Go go go!
