Monday, Day 2, Week 2

Was pretty hungry today. Didn't bring any fruit to school. I think it was a bad idea. Might have been hungry because I didn't eat as much as usual last night, might have been hungry because I ended up eating some carbs at lunch because someone offered me food and I couldn't politely refuse (it was just a bite or two but perhaps it was enough to get me hungry?).

I've noticed that although I don't really get thirsty during the day, if I don't drink enough during the day, I get ridiculously thirsty during the night. I think that maybe that's because my PSNS isn't active during the day, so I don't really need to use water for all that much. But then at night my PSNS kicks in and starts demanding water, and I don't have any stored in me.

Had a whopping dinner tonight. A plate full of spaghetti and meat (with a bunch of veggies as well, of course). Entire plate full, and stacked about two inches high. Very good, began reaching my eating limit towards the end, but ate it all and felt good about it afterwards. Need to remember not to make milk the last thing into my mouth after a meal - it leaves a gross feeling in the mouth. I've also discovered that I don't actually like the taste of 2% as much as skim/1%.

Concluding thoughts: Drink lots of water during the day or else you'll get really thirsty during the night and wake up and feel gross. 2 litres isn't enough for me. Also, make sure you eat until you actually feel rather full, or else you'll be hungry the next day (I think).
