Still Feeling Good

I went to work today and it went well. I was able to do tasks from start to finish, and the girl I was working for was really happy. I didn't have to ask as many questions, and the day just flew by. I didn't want to get up, but I woke up just in time to get to work. I took off my sleep mask at 12:08pm, and I try to be up for work by 12:15. I didn't know that it was going to be the right time, I just wanted to check what time it was. I didn't sleep well last night, and I had to take klonopin in the morning to help me get back to sleep. That's why I was surprised at what time it was. I didn't feel that tired today, either. Although when I woke up, there was a knock on the door and it was the pizza delivery guy. Geo had ordered pizza and soda since he ran out. So I had a piece of pizza for breakfast. At work, they had this great crab salad, so that was my lunch. I went over my calories yesterday, so I'm going to be under them today to make up for it.
I can't believe that I went over my calories! I'm kinda happy. This eating lunch thing seems to help. I know I should be eating at least 3 times a day, but I haven't been hungry. I eat because I have to. Hopefully after a while I should start getting hungry for lunch again and I don't have to force myself to eat. I like eating the food in the cafeteria at work, that's not a problem. It's my days off that's the problem. We are almost totally out of food in the house, our food stamps don't come in until Thursday and it probably won't be until Sunday when we get the car. We just have to figure out what to do until then. I might have to go to the grocery store on the bus, which I hate, but we need food. I don't have anything to eat for lunch tomorrow.
I'm trying to get into the habit of going for a walk after work. Today I did 1.2 miles, my normal walk down by the canal. I need to stop my habit of looking at the floor and admire the sights. I can do that sometimes, but other times I get overwhelmed by how far I have to go and just look at the ground. Plus, looking at the ground is a safety thing for me. I don't want to step on anything and fall, and all the treed have branches that have fallen. There's also a lot of broken glass since it's right by the edge of the road and people throw stupid stuff out their car windows. Still, going for a walk after work is calming. I might go into work tomorrow, actually. It will give me something to eat for lunch, and I can help out more. I can't go to work on Thursday because I have to go to therapy and to the store. I'm going to feel funny dragging my luggage all over the city, but that's what I have to do to get the shopping done. Oh well, nothing I can do.
Mood today was good... I didn't want to get out of bed, but that's normal. Once I got into the swing of things at work it went well. I'm glad I volunteer. I don't know what I would do without it. Getting out of the house and being productive is great, and now that I can do a task at work from start to finish it gives me a sense of accomplishment. I like working with Tiffany, and her and I might start walking on her lunch break, and then I would go into work after. Maybe I can make some more friends. I know I need more friends here in Miami... I don't go out much, especially since I don't have a car. My friend Kenia used to have a car and live down the street, but her car broke and she had to sell it for almost nothing. She's been saving up for a new one, but now she's living with her mom far away. I can get there by bus, but it's a pain in the butt.
Food today was horrible. I'm going to have to go out there and find something to eat. Not that there is a lot to eat, but I need to find something. I'm at 1006 calories today so far, and I want to be over 1,200. I know I can eat my peanut butter bagel, but I only have 2 bagels left and I have to make them last until Thursday. I guess I can eat one tonight, and then Thursday before therapy I can go to Subway and get a sandwich for breakfast. I will be so hungry! Oh well, at least I will eat tonight. I thought I was going to be over my calories since I had the pizza in the morning and non-diet ranch dressing on the salad, but I met my fat content for the day and that's it. I should be fine on fat with the peanut butter... I still have a couple grams to spare and it's low fat peanut butter. I'm really trying on getting my calories where they should be.... days when I'm under seem to be slipping by if I don't.

It\'s great to feel like you\'ve accomplished something. Very happy for you.
You have a busy week. Maybe with it you will get into a better sleep mode.
Good luck with that. I hope all goes well tomorrow.
It\'s good you are watching that you get enough calories.
