Spring Focus

I really am too exhausted to blog right now.  However, writing can be therapeutic, even if only one eye is open.

 

I haven’t been sleeping much.  I average 6 hours of broken sleep per night which directly causes a mid-day nap without fail.  I also haven’t been eating very mindfully either. Its not so much that I am eating things that aren’t healthy . . . its that I find myself eating when I am not hungry and over eating at times.  Its been quite a while since I have done any kind of real exercise too.

 

I need to do some sort of spring cleaning/refocusing I think.  I just want the sunshine and nice weather as well.  Thankfully, it is getting a bit brighter earlier . . .

(train station 6am)

 

I slept the entire train ride to NYC.  That’s pretty rare for me!  When I made it to Starbucks, David was doing some reading.  We discussed his crazy April Fools joke he played on the class as well as googling Pates and Terrines . . .

When I made it into school, I ate my bowl of Overnight Oats topped with some shredded coconut.

Lunch was a tasting plate full of Pates.  Ill have more to share tomorrow.

Once our break rolled around, I was craving something sweet after all that salt.  I split a small bag of cacao nibs with Denise.  Definitely did the trick!

Dinner was another tasting plate . . .

I’m pretty stuffed, tired and cranky!

 

Luckily this week for me is a short one as our mini-getaway is finally on the horizon!  I cant wait, I need it Smile

Dining Expectations

Today was a full day of errands. It started with waking up at 4:52 am to blasting music coming from upstairs. I swear, I don’t know what this guys deal is . . . (or what he’s deal-ING) but I can’t take much more of this noise!

I headed to work for a few hours. Came home, did some dishes and headed off to my parents to wash my dirty chef uniform. Mom and I went out food shopping for a few things we needed.

By the time I got home, it was 4:00 pm and I was out of it. I started getting a weird headache and I also felt some congestion creeping up. Not again!

I lied on the couch for a bit and listened to relaxing music app and ended up falling asleep for a half hour. I feel much better but now Im paranoid.

Chris got home and we decided to go to a Mexican restaurant that we have been wanting to try for years. We debated going for a while since we just went out to eat, but I figured it would help my mood and I also planned on keeping half of whatever I ordered to pack up for tomorrow.

WORST meal in a very long time. I get really upset when I have a bad meal. Especially since I feel like I’m doing a good thing by not spending my money in a chain restaurant. I won’t get into details, but I embarrassed Chris pretty bad. He said I’m becoming too much of a critic. Maybe I am getting snobby about my food these days but I guess it goes with the territory.

I just gotta stop getting so upset the times it does happen.

Now I’m home and I just finished packing my food for tomorrow.

BREAKFAST


Overnight oats with chia seeds, bananas and almond butter in an old empty Earth Balance container.

LUNCH


Salad on a wrap with garlic hummus.

SNACK


Daisy girl apple.

I didn’t pack dinner this time. We have a 6 hour class on Fin Fish tomorrow which I’m sure will result in a nice meal. Last week I ended up throwing out my millet burger because I was full from all the poultry!

Bedtime is soon . . . Gotta prepare for the rain :(

What did you do today? Do you get upset when you have a bad meal at a restaurant?
