Day 2: acitivity log 1
7AM: woke up to a text from the doctor who’s dogs I check on, she wants them to have all the love today. I’ll be checking on them today and tomorrow. I received a text from the guy who also checks on them when I can’t and he’s part of my class. The main thought running through my head was “wow, has he already started studying?” and I felt a bit inadequate in my ability to wake up and start being productive.
7:30AM: looked up bbg, plant based diets for PCOS, and probably some info about the golden state killer (I think). In all honesty, I probs should check in with my doctor because of the weight gain, but I’m scared what they might find honestly, but I’ll do it after my big exam in June. I have no acute complaints so I’m “feeling” ok.
8AM: finally rolled out of bed, made myself an egg-white frittata bite, measures out some walnuts and edamame for later while my coffee sat in my french press.
8:30AM: starting typing this and eating the fritta! Dude these are so good wtf. One of my goals for 2020 was to become plant based, but I think eggs/cheese might be the sole reason I won’t be able to. Actually, it’s a challenge, not impossible (trying to work on not giving up on things by begging cynical). But for now I’m going to try to limit eggs to 2-3 times a week. The meat has been cut out officially as of this morning. I’m being realistic about the meat situation and giving myself time, but I’m way more confident about cutting that out eventually.
9AM: finally showered, started a grocery list of things I need, putzed around with iPad games. Oops I’m here for an hour.
10AM: added all my monthly events/big yearly events to my calendar, and then FINALLY started studying. Made it through a 15 minute video in like 30 minutes because I was taking notes. Then started a 30 minute video but immediately felt drained.
11AM: caved and ate the edamame, social media-ed, snapped my friend about really wanting to go vegan and she (a vegetarian) was like “at least I won’t be the pickiest eater in the group anymore” and honestly it was pretty funny (I did, however, feel a tad bit defensive? I feel like being vegan/plant-based isn’t necessarily picky. It’s restrictively but not picky. But I recognize this is the part of me that cares a lot about what people think, so I can let this go).
11:30AM: I’m gonna eat the walnuts bub and it’s so close to lunch, but my stomach is getting growly. Also I realized there’s a bit of sludge in my coffee? Is that supposed to happen with a French press?
1PM: finished videos, walked over to see the dogs (20 minutes to walk over, trying not to drive because there’s a crack in my windshield), they’re HELLA cute and really deprived of cuddles
4PM: got back from the dogs, ate some bruschetta toast and definitely put too much onion, RIP. Started watching Parks and rec
7PM: Watched Parks and rec WAYYY too long, finally sat down to study
8PM: roommate is back!!! She and I talk about the Iran situation while I eat some rajma (Kidney bean soup) and drink another cup of coffee.
9PM: I’m slugging through my last 50 flash cards ugh
1AM: finally finished!!! Time for bed.
