Good morning everyone!
Sorry for my wacky posting times lately – I’ve had quite a bit to do.
Yesterday started bright and early – 4:45Am. Fun. Does anyone actually like early morning shifts at work?
I’ve never been much of a morning person, so these shifts are a real pain. For breakfast, I had oats (yet again), but this time with EXTRA peanut butter… gosh knows I needed it:
Bad lighting, I know.. but it was still dark out so.. no natural light!
I wish I could have enjoyed my oats more, but I had to get to work. My shift ended at 10Am then I had a nice chunk of cheese, and went to the gym for a short while.
I did 25 minutes on the elliptical and 15 minutes of weights and stretching. The moment I got home I knew it was going to be a binge day. Why? Well, with my eating lately (which I think has been pretty healthy compared to my normal stuff), I have learned to be able to tell when my body is hungry, full, or just plain anxious. Because of my lack of sleep, I felt off all day so that’s what triggered it.
risotto and SUPER creamy spinach. Not healthy by any means
Salmon on crackers with mayo - YUM!
Lots, and lots of maple butter ice cream with various toppings
No seriously. I ate over 25oz. of ice cream and a couple cups of toppings ya'll!
The binge from 1:30 – 3:30 included all that (obviously not all the ice cream was pictured), then my hunny and I made pork potstickers with soy sauce. Yum yum yum.
We finished off the ice cream, relaxed for a bit, and then went out later in the evening to get this:
Mondo chicken burrito w/ sour cream& cheese + rice & refried beans. Look up that horrible nutrition info!
I also had a couple bites of his pizza, but I was mainly focused on my oat fudge bar from Starbucks. Almost 500 cals, but sooo worth it.
The weird thing was.. this wasn’t a normal binge for me. Sure, I easily ate over 4000 calories, but this time, something felt weird. The main part of my binge (1:30 – 3:30 when the pictures were taken) I ate a lot, but yet I didn’t feel TOO full. Usually when I binge, I eat to the point of PAIN. Not this time though.
I don’t understand it, considering I know I ate more than my tummy needed. I managed to stop myself before the pain without even thinking about it.
After the burrito, though, I definately felt some pain, haha. Surprisingly, the oat fudge bar helped? Miracle cure for tummy aches? I think so! 
So that, my dear friends, was my day. Nothing too interesting, and it’s still confusing the heck outta me.
Maybe I’m slowly starting to get over my binging?
As for the title of this post, all morning I’ve been trying to register for a couple summer classes, but since we paid my deposit late, I wasn’t able to. So, I called my school and THANKFULLY they helped me out. apparently I owed a cent from last term? Lol.
The best part of it all is that I was able to get the LAST spot in one of the classes I wanted, woo!
QUESTION: What are you looking forward to this week? Personally.. nothing. At least not when it comes to school. have a lot to do thanks to my procrastination all weekend, ha.
xoxo!

Vera!
I’m really happy for you that this binge happened to be less stressful and painful than they usually are… plus it looks like you ate some seriously delicious stuff!
Sometimes it’s best not to question why certain things happen when they turn out positively.. who know, maybe it will be even better next time!
I’m looking forward to riding again on Wednesday.. a form of exercise that doesn’t make me focus on calories

if anyone DOES like early morning shifts i think it is safe to say we diagnose them as clinically insane
you are a trooper for getting there so early! that burrito is giant. i want it. this week? i am looking forward to finding out some news.. hope it is good news and not bad! fingers crossed! hope your week goes great 
wow it sonds like you have come a LONG way! so proud of you sugar!!! and YAY for getting into your class!!
forward to this week-hmmm today was fun! dance class and dodgeball
and the cookie cake was from wal mart or something! haha!
I hope you’re starting to get over your binging! That would be so amazing and I have my fingers crossed for you.
This week is going to be a lot of fun! Tomorrow I’m going to Van with a friend to watch a movie and get sushi.. then I MAY stay the night at another friends house if I can make it work. I’d have to catch an early ferry home due to work but I love my bestie and think it would be totally worth the lack of sleep. Then on Thursday I go back to Vancouver with my sister and we’re staying the night at another friend’s house. Hehe.. I’m so excited. This is one of my most packed weeks so far!
I hope you have a great time on your visit here!
Personally I anticipate getting OUT of vancouver, rather than comming here, but I guess that happens regardless of where you live!
xo
that morning shift looks horrible! haha! atleast you finished by 10am though!
I know how you feel about bingeing because you’re anxious and i’m starting to overcome it! I get really anxious, to the point i used to have panic attacks. My binges are getting less regular so i guess my theory’s working!! Although, i’m not really sure how i did it. Like you, i know when im in for a binge. But instead of saying ‘im in for a binge and thats that’ i change to ‘i feel like binging but i dont want too’ and i try really hard to tell myself i don’t want to be that person, i don’t want to make myself ill and unhealthy. Sometime i have to write a list of reason i dont want to binge. It sounds crazy but it works.
Also, another thing would be to take something for the anxiety, like a herbal remedy?
It’s a long hard process but i hope to get there & hope you do too
!!
Love the blog! xx
I’m looking forward to……the weekend!
Lol
I love everything about your salmon, cracker, mayo combination. YUM!
Have a great day chica!
