Between the Shakes

My schedule has me teaching until 10PM Mon - Thurs. It's intense and makes for an awkward eating schedule. One shake before leaving for campus. A salad before class. Another shake at home. I can do this.

I wasn't hungry most of yesterday. I was drinking my water, though I didn't quite make the goal, which is partly because I have to teach for four hours and cannot be running back and forth to the restroom. I need to get my bladder back on teaching rhythm again. That will take a few days. But I wasn't hungry, until about 9:30 and then I WAS HUNGRY! It would another hour and a half before I could get home though. I'll try to remember to grab a few of the "stops your hunger" wafers for next time. The ones the puppies didn't eat yesterday.

Shake number two was consumed late last night. I added a little peanut butter to a "chocolate" one and it was...okay. Not sure if the taste justified the calories. What's interesting is that it sat just fine. No issues at all.

The best part of was this morning. I slept well. Really well. Didn't wake until the alarm went off at 6AM. Snoozed until 6:30 (that's normal) but when my feet hit the ground I was fully awake and in a great mood. Amazing!

Things on campus were a mess this morning. A professor went AWOL and I needed to cover and help get things straight. A breeze. Conference call that outlined more work than the pay justifies. Okay. Got work done without feeling pressured. No stress feelings at all! None. I'm smiling. Residual from the shakes? Supplements? Both? I like how this feels.

I did get coffee this morning. I'm not going to try to cut that from my diet at this point. I enjoy it as well as my tea. I'm feeling really good at the moment.

When I get home, I'll begin the official day two on the program and see if this great feeling continues. It should. I'm optimistic.
