Cycle Awareness

Energy

I am writing this on Wednesday the 24th, so I can’t remember exactly what time I woke up yesterday (today’s data entry), but it wasn’t late because I managed to eat a nice, slow breakfast. It must have been about 07h30. I didn’t struggle to get up and out of bed. I slept very well. I didn’t have an energy dip in the day. I got to bed around 21h00 last night and I read for a bit before turning off. I wasn’t particularly exhausted but I fell asleep easily.

Food

Yes! I managed to eat breakfast at home and then again at work (a little sammich at work). I didn’t crave anything in particular. Once again, my appetite was sustained the whole day from my plant-powered breakfast (and meals in general). I am not drinking enough water, though, and I was quite thirsty. I had a cup of tea at work.

Emotions

Today was a good time, emotion-wise. I have been feeling very motivated since Sunday because of food, health and nutrition and that has filtered into every area of my life. I am not feeling social nor introverted; I am just enjoying being at home in the evenings and cooking my food, for myself and for Calvin (when he wants it, which he didn’t last night). I was not sensitive today.

Concentration

My concentration levels at work were good! It wasn’t hard to focus and I wasn’t distracted.

Productivity

I got so much done at work today. I am working fast and efficiently.

Home

When I got home, Calvin had cleaned all the dishes which made me so happy! He also mopped and swept which I really appreciated (because our domestic worker can no longer assist us at home). I maintained what chores I had happily: cooking dinner, tidying up, cleaning the dishes after dinner, putting dishes away etc.
