The Weather Outside Is Actually Fairly Warm

...Although it is getting chillier by the day. I guess even SoCal has to experience autumn some time. I love the cooler weather, but it makes me have to fight to keep off the urges to bundle up with a good book and some hot cocoa on my comfy couch in my warm home. Or just stay in bed in my dorm room. Good thing the workout room is about two minutes away from my room. Bad thing is that the Mexican and Chinese takeout place is about two minutes past that.

I slept in on Friday and didn't do much exercise, but I ate all right. Tuna melt, bowl of udon noodles, and I think some sort of dessert but I can't remember, for brunch. Went out to a party but didn't drink and limited myself to half a cup of some sort of nonalcoholic punch. It was red and tasted like chemicals so I didn't finish. I did have more than a few handfuls of tortilla chips though, and a Moons over my Hammy sandwich + hash browns + root beer float at Denny's. At 3 AM. Let's just call that delayed dinner.

Brunch today was two bowls of chicken noodle soup* a slice of thin crust cheese pizza, and a plate of eggs, sausage, and hash browns. Which is a lot. And I feel very full. I also had half a cappucino. So basically I've been fighting the urge to sleep for the past 3 hours now, which should really teach me something about overloading on carbs.

I should really just listen to my body, like everyone says. I know I feel good when I eat certain things, and I feel lousy when I eat other things. The body loves fruits and veggies, but the dining hall doesn't except in the form of the omnipresent salad bar. The body loves salad bar, but the eyes love pizza, so it's hard to choose sometimes. However, I've never felt like sleeping immediately after eating a salad, whereas overeating carbohydrates always without fail makes my brain shut down.

Oh well. I'm going to try and get some work done. The plan today is to work (I have a lot of catchup to do), do laundry, and visit the gym. The plan is not to take a nap right now. I'll check in later about how successful I am at not falling asleep on top of my French textbook. We'll see how this goes. *Crosses fingers*

*The noodles were actually macaroni. I think we might need to retrain some of the dining staff.
