Back to the beginning!

So I stayed at home longer than I thought I would because of some unfortunately timed cramps. It broke off my string of days of exercise and smoothies, and I ate lots of stuff because my mom cooked, but that's okay! If I could sustain it for nearly a month, I can keep going J So my mom and my best friend reiterated the importance of protein, so to appease their fears, I'll add some protein. It'll probably help with the cravings, and I'll make sure to eat Chromium supplements to stave off the cravings as well. I'll add in some whole grains in the form of steel cut oatmeal and multigrain hot cereal once I have room in the refrigerator to store my leftover portions.

I've cut up some crudités to snack on during the day, so it's more handy than sweets. Fennel, cucumber, celery…

Breakfast

The smoothie I made this morning was so good. I didn't add all the cantaloupe in because it was really sweet, but there was this warm, fresh taste to it that was unlike anything else I've made.

I'm strangely unable to eat or drink much other than a bite and a sip of each item. I don't feel hungry at all. Probably a result of eating more over the weekend, but I'll bring my breakfast to class just in case. Otherwise, I'll just have it for lunch or dinner. I'll leave my smoothie in the fridge so it's not warm and horrid.

I'm eating too much. I need to stay on a consistent diet—if I don't, it really throws me off. I don't have energy today and I'm really tired. Very inefficient as well. I don't feel like exercising. I think the next couple days will be pretty strict Green Smoothie drinking and crudités eating. I really liked eating my entire cucumber today J so I'll do that tomorrow as well.

I napped a little at 7:30 PM and felt a lot better. I'll sleep early tonight after I finish my reading. I think sleep is what I really need, but I'd like to exercise as well. That will be what I'll do tomorrow morning after class. Also, back to the green smoothie. I couldn't eat because I didn't have a bm the day before, but was ravenous after my first class and a bm.
