10.8

Pretty great day today. Some recruiters emailed me back right after I sent my initial round of emails which was awesome. I had to stay up later than I waned to though to respond to all of them, but I was pretty proud of myself for taking the first step. I had an awkward nights sleep. I felt well rested, but I never felt like I went to sleep. I think I tossed and turned and had my eyes close most of the time... I came back and did some work then took a nap after I made lunch. I "accidentally" ate both my my lunch and dinner for lunch today, which is ultimately probably for the best. I felt hungry and I didn't really feel like I overate afterwards. I've been feeling like I've been under eating at each day for lunch and dinner. Not today, I treated myself to a dish a really. It had egg in it though, but I think I'm going to make a concession and start eating them again as its a good source (and would really be my only source) of protein. I've been doing good with eating enough vegetables, but I need to work on getting enough protein and fruits. I'm going to back to doing an apple with my oatmeal and smoothies on days where I don't have morning class. Gotta start somewhere...the vitamins I bought are a tad salty, which makes me mad, but it's better than nothing. I really don't consume sodium either so I don't think it'll be too harmful for this month. I'll order something else next month. I wished I had my calorie counter, but it's a good lessen in making do with that I got. I think I'm doing pretty good all things considered. I did my circuit last night which made me happy, but I'm not sure if I'm going to make it to the gym and do my circuit tonight. I just ate (it was kind of heavy) and I'm going through some pretty bad fatigue right now. I can definitely do the circuit tonight, but with 8am classes again tomorrow, I'd rather get as much sleep as possible. My dinner had rice (a trigger food), but I need to teach myself to understand my relationship with certain foods rather than stay away from them completely. I have more self-control than that. I shouldn't deprive myself of foods that I can just watch how I eat them instead. In hind sight, doing that is kind of ridiculous.
