So, believe it or not, this is my first blog.  I'm not exactly sure how to work this thing. So much for being "technically advanced". =/

anyway - today was actually a bad day, I think.  As you may know already, I have probably the worst sleep schedule of anyone I know.  I never know when I'm going to have an attack, therefore I never know how much pain I'm going to be in on any given day/at any given time.  Well, last night was a pretty bad night.  I couldn't fall asleep.  My joints and muscles hurt all over.  I finally got to bed sometime after 6 am.  I then woke up at 1 pm.  Five hours of sleep... not bad I guess.

Well, my "breakfast" consisted of 4 servings of brocolli.  I think brocolli is the most amazing food ever! I could eat '20 pounds of brocolli' (thanks for giving us that suggestion Dobrin) and be quite content.  I remember the "don't eat more than 500 calories per meal" rule.  I definitely am going to try to stick to this.  I am going to make myself a turkey sandwhich before I go to class tonight.  I am not going to add mayo or cheese, though, since I normally go overboard.  I may try to find some organic/natural peanut butter tonight, since peanut butter is the Nectar of the God's. =)

Physical activity... blah.  I may or may not get to do any physical activity today, just because it's now 3:41 and I will be leaving to go to class soon. Although, the more I write here, the more I want to make myself go out and do something.  The problem is class can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour and a half to get to (depending on traffic, construction, etc).  If I work out now, I won't be leaving for class until 5, which means I may or may not make it on time.  I really need to get on a regular schedule. 

So, I might try to get back into yoga.  That would definitely increase my flexibility.  I feel like there are so many things I want to fix based on my HRA.  It's really hard choosing, and sticking to, just one.  This physical activity thing is quite difficult for me as well.  I do really well when I have someone to motivate me.  My bff and I used to go to the gym all the time together, but we no longer live in the same area, so this is not a possibility.  I just need to find someone to kick me in the butt and make me go... or figure out how to motivate myself.

Good things about today:
- I ate breakfast.  I usually only eat once per day.  We learned that this isn't good.
- I got 5 hours of sleep.  This is more than I usually get.  Too bad it was at an akward time.

Bad things about today:
- I slept for the most inoppurtune 5 hour period.
- I am probably not going to work out.  Although, I might walk when I get to campus.  We shall see.
