#JanuaryWhole30- Day 2 and 3- But in the Swing

God. The start of school after New Years I think is the toughest start. I didn't even do anything significant, but......

Wait, I got a new job over my break! More details on that later, back to the first couple of days back in school with Whole30.

The great thing about the start of school after Winter Break is that your not back into the routine of your normal hectic life in a big way. It's like a slow rollout of expectations and fulfillments that need to happen. In the counseling office its the slowest time of year, but with my activities, its the busiest. But the past two days have given me a perspective to my planning that I needed, and I have a chance to anticipate my life a little bit before it kicks in. For example, my schedule looks a little like this after school:

Sunday- private sessions until 6:30pm then choir until 9:00pm
Monday-
Tuesday- practice until 5pm
Wednesday- practice until 5pm
Thursday- feeling the need to collapse

My day starts at 4:00am and goes until 9:30-10pm. The beauty of this week is that I have a chance to plan out what i need in snacks and stuff to get through the day.

As far as symptoms are concerned, I was definitely hungry all day and wanted to snack. However, I didn't succumb to that. I am worried for the days when my life is pretty open. That's a scary point in my life and bad things happen when I'm bored. For now, I am using these days to figure out any triggers that may pop up.

I also not feeling as tired as I did the last time I did this program. My headaches aren't so bad either. I think its because I've been drinking a ton of water and that I didn't binge eat before I started. That actually helps!

So the goal by Saturday is to get my routine down in my life so that I don't feel so overwhelmed. Did I mention that I am planning a trip with 17 teenagers to America, during the winter? Another thing I have to add to my planning. But I think I'm ready.
