Damn stomach

Yesterday was a horrific day food-wise.  After swooshing on my lunch (an hour of sleep cured it) I felt nauseous and yet....hungry. I didnt want to eat but my body kept sending me mixed signals so I ate.  Had about half a mandarin chicken salad, it wasnt happy but it stayed.  This may be because I didnt get enough water yesterday or it could just be the GBS being a bitch.  So this morning I'm pushing the water and will only do a Protein bar for breakfast.  I've been so tempted by empty carbs and I have to get a stranglehold on that urge.  A trip to the gym before school today should make me feel better.

School is going ok, I'm managing to keep up and my grades have been good.  I met with my advisor yesterday and we figured I only need 11 more credits to graduate with my AS.  That means I'll be done, at this school, this coming December but I won't be able to WALK until May 09.  Thats ok, as long as I have the diploma, I'm good. I'll apply for whichever university I decide on by the end of summer.

Ok, time to get moving. Tata.
