When thinking of my goals for this next month I can't help but relate to this picture.
I’ve been doing alright managing not to eat tons of crap food. Last night it was pizza night at my house and I turned it down, and today I turned down an offer to get Beaver Tails.
I wasn’t hungry and wasn’t going to eat today but I have an assignment to finish tonight so I decided to eat, figuring food might help with concentration and cognitive processing and what not. Then once I had something to eat I got cravings, caved and had some chocolate, which was definitely worth it.
Total cal for the day=250 (under allotted amount)
In other news, I’ve been feeling kind of sick for about a week and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better so I’ve been lacking energy and sleeping more than usual. The silver lining in this is that I can’t eat while I sleep and I tend to lose my appetite when I don’t well, which helps with my diet at the moment. Also my housemates know that this is how I get when I’m not feeling good so they are less likely to question why I’m not eating much.
I didn’t end up going to the gym today because I wasn’t feeling well though.
Midterms are coming up and seem to be split between before and after reading week so that’s not too bad. Start to feel a bit of exam stress thought. Going home for reading week on Feb 17th and I’ll be back at school on Feb 26. My goal is to not gain tons of weight while I’m home, which always seems to be the case.
Also I have this need to look decent when I go home just in case I see people I used to know. I know this sounds silly but I want people to see me and think “she looks good” not to think “wow she got fat after graduation”.

Maybe the reason you're not getting better is because your body doesn't have the energy to fight it off with lack of food? Maybe just up your calories a wee bit???
ReplyDeleteI love that picture, its way i was thinking yesterday, as I ate my kitchen.
I was thinking that too but it still seems odd as I started not feeling well a fair bit before I changed how I was eating so it should have cleared up by now regardless.
ReplyDeleteEither way the weekend is finally here so I'll get to relax a bit, sleep in and have more time to work out so I loosen my caloric restrictions a bit if need be.

4. I completely understand what you meant when you said "I want people to see me and think “she looks good” not to think “wow she got fat after graduation”, I'm the exact same. fortunately most of us did, but I'm working my ass off to get back to graduation size/weight!
goodluck!<3 xo
