>> Today I was very tired. I stayed up an hour too late last night so I only got 7 hours of sleep. I know that makes me sound like a spoiled baby that sleeps more than 8 hours a night. I am. But that is not the reason why I mention this. I am actually worried about my habits being this because I probably will run into a problem when I go to college at Whitworth. I don’t know how I am going to concentrate the next day because I won’t be able to stay up late even though I’ll probably have to. So this deeply worries me. Food today was pretty good. I do like the white bean soup, although I got too full to finish it with the rice. I prefer the lentil stew but the bean soup was still amazing.

>> Today was the end of Senior camp, which is one of the grade level camps my school has each year. I had more discipline since I was in the middle of nowhere and packed the exact amount of intended food to be consumed. I was not hungry at all during camp, and was not even hungry for meals at times. I had more energy than I expected considering the time I went to sleep each night. I was so proud of my curried kale and chickpeas dish too!

>> I did lose some weight throughout the week and I was very surprised because this week was very undisciplined for me, as can be implied by looking at what I ate this week. I did not have a lot of self control, but I am still working on that. I think next week I will try to focus less on my food and more on just living my life. I think I am obsessing a little too much about what I am eating and what I should be eating; I am going to think more about how I’m feeling and that will help me decide what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat.
