I really need to stop asking myself this question...because it inevitably gets answered.
Today was decent. Got up early enough that I could take my time getting ready for work. Had my breakfast of frittata and chicken sausages before I left. Packed up my lunch of the rest of the shepherd's pie and a snack of carrots. Got to work, did the things that needed to be done, and then hid myself in the conference room for some homework time. Had a couple hours of peace before the calls started coming in and then I was just running for the rest of the afternoon. I was supposed to get out at 5 and we got a call pretty much at 3:30, which is practically a big present wrapped with a bow because by the time you get them to the hospital and write your chart, hey, it's time to go! Well the EMS gods decided I wasn't going to have it that easy and I ended up with a difficult patient and one heck of a chart to write.
Finally got home an hour late and by that time I really wasn't up for doing anything creative in the kitchen. I STILL had that homework to do and knew I had to get cracking on it so I made breakfast for dinner. I scrambled up the last few eggs I had and made them with a little ground beef. As simple as it was, it was really good. It's now 1 in the morning and the paper continues to not write itself but at least my tummy gets to be happy. Was kind of an "eggy" day but I figured one day wouldn't kill me.
Something I've been noticing the past few days is that I'm tending to go for the fruit a lot. While fruit is great and has nutrients up the wazoo, it still has a ton of sugar. Probably the reason why I keep turning to it. It's not like I'm going too crazy and eating oranges every 5 minutes, I've been limiting myself to 2 servings daily, but I may need to cut it back to 1.
The thing that worries me about cutting down on the fruit is that I already crash sometime in the mid-afternoon. I thought it was just a one time thing yesterday after having to get up at 5:30 in the morning, but I got it again today after getting 8 hours of sleep last night. I guess I'm a little concerned that I'll crash even harder if I take out the one source of sugar that I've got. I know my calories are decent since I'm now getting in 3 meals a day so other than that, I don't know what's causing it. I'd rather not turn to caffeine since that's just a downward spiral I don't feel like experiencing. I'm going to give it a few more days just to see if it's me getting used to being strict.
Tomorrow is going to be a crazy day. Finishing up my last two classes so I can officially be a college graduate (YAY!) on top of massive amounts of errands. I was originally signed up to go to the early morning crossfit class but I absolutely have to focus on getting this school stuff done and over with. Maybe if one of the evening sessions open up I'll go to that.
Time to do that thing called sleeping (because I actually do that now!). G'night all!
