As the title says, I had a hard start of my day. Woke up at 4am!!! I had headache all day long! I know this is insane, I know it's because of the over-work, I wish I had 26 hours per day to be able to work 10 hours, sleep 8 hours and 8 hours for the rest which is healthy-enhancing. Anyway, I'm not the only grad student who suffers this, Erin has been having trouble as I do. So, at least, I'm not the only one. I'm serious thinking/finding natural remedies for this problem. I'll let you guys know when I found something useful.
Despite the headache, I managed to do a 60 min vinyasa flow #3, which made the headache go away for few moments.
Breakfast (to be creative and in-theme for V-day): black rice porridge + oatmeal + sunny hearty egg + mozzarella + tomato sauce + dash of dry basil + 1 spoon of GYG
AM snack: mochi filled with chestnut filling + tea latte made with powdered soy milk and tea bag
can you see my study-buddy? she's so cute!
Lunch: another sandwich with a spread made with 1/4 c. squash and 1 tbsp mustard, spinach and 2 slices of roasted turkey.
Another apple with AB.
PM snack: chocolates
blueberries+yogurt+granola
Went to the gym for a nice 45min on the Elliptical machine for some magazine reading (it's the only time I can find to do some leisure reading). Very nice! My headache completely went away (oppssss.... too late to help my work productivity).
Dinner: stir-fry rice (the best ever!!!). For 4 cups
