Sunday Journal

The number on the scale went up today... back to 222. I think it's because of water weight. I'm trying to get back to my 8 cups a day. I know tomorrow it's probably not going to look good since I had eggplant Parmesan for lunch and dinner (and some cheesecake). I just needed to get out of the house and the only way to get Geo to do that is to go out for food. I knew he was craving pizza, so we went to our favorite Italian restaurant. It was expensive, though.... I normally just eat some pizza which is not too expensive, but I wanted the eggplant parm so I got that instead. It turned out to be $30. That's a lot of money for me, but it was too late. Now I know that if I want my own dinner instead of sharing a pizza it's going to be expensive. I slept like crap last night. I was up from 12:30am to after 2am. I made myself get up at 1pm. I wanted to sleep more, but I need to be waking up in the morning, not the afternoon. When I got out of the hospital at first I was waking up at 10am and that was working for me, but then I started going back to sleep and now I wake up at noon or 1. I have my alarm set for 11:30 tomorrow. I'm going to try and go to sleep earlier (probably when I'm done with this) so I have enough sleep. Then I want to go volunteer. I'm pensive about going back.. I went back on Friday for a couple hours and the time just crawled by. I'm hoping tomorrow it's going to be a bit more busy and I won't spend as much time sitting around doing nothing. That's one of the reasons I stopped going in the first place.
