First off I’m not a doctor, dietician or fitness professional. Just a girl who really likes to dance on a pole, so please take all this with a grain a salt.
From what your describing your diet does sound pretty healthy. It sounds like you are eating a similar diet to what I used to eat. I was eating plenty of fruits, veggies, carbs, lean proteins and using small amounts of fats. I also tried to eat a wide variety in hopes of getting all the good nutrients.
I was also drinking two milky coffees and snacking on small amounts chocolate. I had my giant water bottle with me everywhere I went. I felt my diet was pretty good but I always felt tired and I still suffered from IBS and also developed LPR.
It actually seemed to get worse the better I ate. I had been to many doctors and was just recently put on the FODMAP diet. Have you ever tired this? I feel so much better. My body works better and my skin even seems to look better. The diet is a bit tough as there is a lot of restrictions in the beginning.
The theory is in some people with IBS, it could be caused by certain sugars in food.

Not all people are sensitive to all the types of sugars they list and if you’ve been tested for lactose and you are not intolerant, you can skip eliminating lactose from your diet. Some of the other sugars can be tested for with a breath test according to the book I read about it.
I only recently stated this diet so I can’t say if my results will still be positive after a few years.
What made me think about it possibly being a problem for you is they talk about how these sugars pull water into your intestinal tract and I noticed after I went on the diet that I looked and felt more hydrated. I keep hearing you need to be well hydrated for muscle repair, flexibility and good health …. so maybe your mention of mild IBS might play a role in troubles your having. At the very least you could discuss it with your doctor and rule out some potential problems.

I took some audio classes in university and there are a few factors involved that would make it more or less difficult to mash up two songs. I don’t know what it would cost to pay to have someone do this.
To mash up two songs, you need two different elements of the songs separated; the vocal only track (Acapella) from the first song, and the instrumental only track(s) from the second song. Then you can use audio software to layer the different sounds together. Depending on the popularity of the songs they could be available for download if you hunt around online.
You might also need to adjust the speed of one song to match the beat of the other song, and/or arrange the vocal samples to start playing at a good point in the instrumental track.
If the songs are written in a different key this could also make it sound funny. I think this can be adjusted, but I can’t remember for sure. (I did this years ago.)
There is free software you can use to do this available here: http://audacityteam.org
Cutting out parts or shorting a song is a lot easier to do.
When I used to do my homework in school, I mostly followed tutorials on youtube. There are lots on tutorials there using the free Audacity audio editing software. If you decided to try it and enjoy it, you can get into using sample loops to build your own songs fairly easily.
I just google it and found a beginners mash up tut:

Hope that helps! It would be awesome to have custom songs to dance to!

I did a resistance band Pilates workout off YouTube the other day that was mostly done lying down. http://youtu.be/VsvKYTV_CBE It uses bands and a door anchor.
I also have a set of black mountain bands and they work great and are perfect for travel.
Good luck!
