Day 1
I'll probably edit this post later to add some things, because I just woke up. At 12. But I did that on purpose. Something I failed to mention earlier was that I want to completely cut out caffeine (except for the tea), because it has such a profound effect on me. So today was catch-up day, and from now on I'm going back to that weining myself from sleep like I say so many times. Of course I won't go below a certain number of hours, because the goal is to be HEALTHY!
So I woke up at 12 and got dressed all pretty, which was a feat in itself. Normally I would say "half the day is gone!" and roll over in bed and keep the curtains closed all day and wear my pajamas and not go to school, and of course go to the grocery across the street and EAT. In fact, on these days I would sometimes take the bus and walk in the freezing cold just to get a hamburger, when I had perfectly fine soup and such in my refrigerator. Ugh. BUT today has been great so far, even if it has only been an hour long!
Lauren, I think you would like my outfit, but I don't want to take a picture until I get back on track. But I'll tell you about it. Aqua boat-neck shirt, fuschia beaded bolero, black pleated knee-skirt, purple stockings, pink/purple/brown/red/yellow sparkly knee-socks, tan mary-jane-type shoes. Hello Japanese street fashion. Well no, it would only be Japanese street fashion if I had a stuffed bunny on my head or something.
And I know I said that to lead a more productive life, I wouldn't use the internet during the day. However, this is one of the first times I've had to eat lunch at home alone (David had class), and I wanted to get two things done at once. So in fact, I am being MORE productive.
I've opened my window, turned on my lantern lights, and just finished eating some pink grapefruit yogurt, water, and fish oil. If I get hungry again before 2 (when I leave for class) I'll eat a rice cake. I know what you're thinking too -- that's not enough food! But first of all, I completely missed breakfast. Secondly, I feel like I'm still full from yesterday! I'm going to eat dinner tonight, and then tomorrow I'll add more food.
I know this post wasn't completely nutrition-related, but it was extremely MIND-related, which I feel is THE KEY.
The weather is sunny, and I can see fluffy white clouds!! I hope you have a great day too!
