53/52 days to go...

I feel like garbage today. Yesterday for some reason getting out of bed was a NIGHTMARE. I just couldn't open my eyes, I had no energy, and it ended up carrying on throughout my day. I went into work and was just so exhausted all day, until I finally decided to have a coffee with lunch. I also got some donuts for Rob's lab as a thank you for constantly being in everyone's way all week, and I had half a donut. BIG MISTAKE.

I get migraines quite frequently so the combination of exhaustion and sweets did me in. Halfway through my afternoon at the lab I started to feel a lack of focus, like I couldn't see straight, almost like being drunk. I had a headache on the right-hand site of my head and desperately wanted to go home and get into my pjs.

Breakfast yesterday was toast with peanut butter. For lunch I had a few bites of salad and a soup from Tim Horton's. Dinner was pork ribs, green beans and mac and cheese, a bit of an elaborate dinner but we were having Rob's brother over. He's in first year and res food sucks, so we thought this would be a nice change. It was cool to have him over. I also made the boys a decadent dessert (devil food cake + oreos + caramel + chocolate chip squares) and had a piece. Yummy! Because we had to be home early to start cooking all this food, the gym didn't happen. I would have gone earlier in the day, like I did on Wednesday, but I had lots of work to wrap up and was in the lab all afternoon.

Today the migraine persisted and I didn't go into work with Rob, nor did I have breakfast. I slept until 2:30pm, and only stopped to take ibuprofen, chug some water, and have a coffee and a piece of bread to make sure any head pain wasn't being caused by lack of food or caffeine. I felt better and stayed in (again, no gym today) to work on my tutorial for Monday morning. For afternoon snack, I had a banana and a blood orange, and a bit of leftover mac and cheese. For dinner we went out for sushi at this place called Sushi 999 on Sherbrooke...I absolutely adore sushi so this was nice.

Now I'm home and had another orange as a snack. I'm exhausted but am waiting for Rob to finish playing his game online before we go to bed.

It's incredible but I think lack of "healthy eating," and definitely lack of yoga, maybe lack of schedule, is really affecting my mood. I have been irritable, cranky and generally sad all week. Maybe it's the sadness of knowing my time here is almost over, maybe it's really the lifestyle affecting me, who knows.
