Laila: Whew.

Today has got to be the most exhausting day I've had in a long long time. Spent nearly all my day at work (10 AM to 7ish PM). Most of the day was spent outdoors in that glorious blazing sun. And guess what: I GOT TAN!! Woot.

I found myself lacking on serious energy (food) and am quite impressed with myself to have made it the entire day really on a bagel and bowl of cherrios.

Before work this morning: 1/2 bagel with about a tbsp cream cheese
Between shifts: a small bowl of cherrios, 1 banana
After work: 6-inch sandwich from Subway, 1 bag wheat thins, 1 diet coke, 1 banana

That may seem like a lot of food, but granted I spent nearly 9 hours out in the sun. Got about an hour 1/2 of swimming in plus 30 min of playing water polo. Pretty intense!

Took the dog for a late night walk with a friend. Mainly uphill for about 20 min or so.

Needless to say: I'M POOPED!

However, as I look back on my day I'm proud of the progress I've made. Coming home from work I knew I should go out to eat, mainly because the house I'm staying at doesn't really have much on-the-go food. Everything takes a while to make. Normally that wouldn't be an issue. But I figured I'd better save my sanity and just let Subway make my food for me. I was tempted to go to maybe a cheaper burger joint....but I resisted. It's good knowing I've filled up on good food all day.

I am now going to sleep. Wishing I didn't have to wake up for about a week or so. But alas that is not possible. Oh well. Overall: good day!
