I Puked My Guts Out

That's what happens when you eat a whopping meal of “not-food”. Rehydrated potato flakes + bread w/ a large dash of herbs and spices is NOT what I would call sustenance. In fact, it was disgusting. I had it bc I felt I needed some carbs (as I am a #vegetarian) and I was running low on energy/high on caffeine, but all the “meal” did was ruin my stomach and make me vomit :(

Sorry if that grosses anyone out.

But anyway, I feel a lot the fuck better now, and I am going to be awake the rest of the night because I still got the shakes from too much caffeine + I wasn't tired at all to begin with when the night crept in. I slept heart last night, so, I am not worried at all.

I will sleep before the Scratch 2 project though. That is for sure.

Health (mostly)

My coffee is about done and I had a salad from Heaven for dinner. I took a hell of a nap after getting home from the 'rents house and feel very rested and refreshed. Drank 3 L of water today, too. Oh and had a fruit cup. So I am “on the mend” when it comes to healthier eating and being careful about what foods I eat and how often I eat them. Because...

....(I forgot to mention this before, but) I am celebrating FOUR YEARS as a #vegetarian. August 1st was the actual anniversary, but I forgot to mention it on this blog (I did however mention it to the people in my life). I feel good, the only downside (personally) is that I do not workout very often. It is important that I get into a workout routine (a consistent one) as soon as possible because there is nothing holding me back, I just...don't do it. I am going to change that. Maybe early AM walks in the fresh air will help? I walk further and with a quicker pace when the air is cool and even on the 90 degree days here in Missouri, it is still 70-ish at 6AM.

This is my only Life Barrier, as I see it. Even if college went by the wayside and I didn't jump into programming (which the latter will happen regardless), the important thing would be that; if I exercise, my life is OK. With the endorphins and the increased confidence, and fresh air, and muscle-building, and everything else, I will be OK. I must remember this.

The thing is: I would have to switch around some priorities. Priorities are the most important thing in my life (and should be in yours). If you have one or more priorities in life; you will achieve that priority almost no matter what. Like Raam Dev (a random Web developer) once said in a YOuTube video, quite simply: “Priorities. Set them.”, and that is all you really need to do. My main priority right now is getting into and graduating college with a simple AA degree with a concentration in....whatever field I like the most (probably Eng Lit). This has been such a strong priority of mine for so long that idk if I am going to let it go, but I must at some point, I think. Health is just far too great of a thing to let go by the wayside. I am fairly unhappy with my body at this point and I very much so DO love myself, but not my appearance by any stretch of the imagination. I also had a recurrence of Barrett's esophagus which I thought had gone away but came back due to weight gain. Everyone who is in my corner in the health field (both physical and mental) want to see me lose a good amount of weight.

“Priorities. Set them.”

Yes. I must change mine up.
