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 ![]()
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?
