Well, yesterday proved disastrous.  I’m hoping for a better day today, but it would be hard for it to be worse.  I was having a lot of feelings and by afternoon I was just over everything.  I ended up sleeping early, which was best.  I don’t know what my issue was.  I had woken up slightly off and never did quite shake it.  

This morning’s walk was lovely.  The fields were draped in fog, which never doesn’t feel magical.  I saw a deer cross the road, crows overhead, and a rabbit in the distance.  That’s of course in addition to tall the birds chattering away in the morning.  It’s nice; I’m going to miss that.  I’m sure wherever I end up living will not be as full of wildlife as this place is.  That is a shame.  

I might try to get some things moved to Edmond today.  I have some things that would be nice to get rid of for a while.  Just boxes of books, kitchen stuff that’s been packed for a while… things like that.  I think we will eventually appreciate any effort we put in early, especially with boxes of books.  

One good thing from yesterday was that rice I made.  I did jasmine rice and kale, portioned out into 200 calorie servings.  That sort of replaced my oatmeal for a couple of days.  It was a great mix.  I might even try getting those down to 150 calorie servings and using that as my starch for a bit.  I’ve been enjoying potatoes, but I do have a lot of rice at the moment.

I got a lot of sleep again.  According to my watch I slept for 10 hours & 18 minutes.  That’s too much, but I do seem to be alternating between that and 4 hour nights.  I don’t really know why I’ve been doing that.  

I’m running low on groceries, so it’s time for an evaluation of what I’m going to be having for the next few weeks.  Oatmeal has been so helpful; that is definitely staying on my list.  It’s been 40 weeks of this food plan and I’ve just started to need a break from broccoli.  While I love having broccoli as part of my daily diet, I think I might try not having it for a week or two to give myself a chance to fall in love with it again.  I have eaten broccoli just about daily for close to two years now, so I guess taking a break won’t hurt me.  I haven’t been making soup as much as I used to, but I’m also eating a smaller volume of food daily than I did when I first started.  Soup was meant to fill up my belly and it seems less necessary than it had before.  I have been very into wraps and sandwiches.  I think I could try doing salads and sandwiches for a while.  My issue with salads is that fresh produce is expensive and I never do seem able to eat everything before it goes bad, even when I’m eating salads a lot.  I do have better luck with slaw mixes, but they sort of lack that refreshing quality that lettuce can have.  I guess I’m just feeling indecisive today.
