I eat oddly... (and general life-update)

[thistlechaser]

Okay, I know me eating oddly isn't news to anyone, but this time I'm not talking about what I eat, but how I eat it. Since I ate almost nothing yesterday (an egg, a half banana, part of an apple) I was really hungry this morning, so I ventured out of the safety of my apartment and got breakfast. A lot of breakfast. I ate at 8, and it's now noon and I'm still full. I'll most likely be skipping dinner, too. While I know it's not a good way of eating, this is how I like to do it. Eating meals is a darned pain in the butt, so I'd rather just do it once and make it through the day that way.

My apartment is a Californian as much as I am: It's not made for the winds and storms that we're having today. So cold, so cold! I have the heat up to 72, but breezes are coming in from nearly every wall (I have the corner unit). My poor feetsies are freezing, even with socks and slippers on.

Boy, three day weekends are nice! This is the third night in a row I had 8 wonderful hours of nearly uninterrupted sleep. Very very nice.

Did I mention I got my taxes done? I e-filed, and just got notice this morning that both state and federal returns were accepted. Got about $700 back from federal and $48 from state (about the same I get back every year, give or take a couple dollars). While that sounds like a lot of money, I'm not jumping up and down in happiness -- it's already my money after all, I just gave the government too much earlier in the year. Still, it's better than having to give them *more*...

Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, but I'll enjoy today until then!

you know, I'm completely the opposite when it comes to eating. I'm never hungry in the morning, and can not eat anything at all until around dinnertime, at which point I start behaving like a hunger-crazed lunatic. Health-wise I think your way is much better, in that if you're going to eat a lot only once a day, it's better to do so early on, rather than before bed.

Think so? I was told you should eat smaller meals through the day instead of one big one... It'd be interesting if when you ate it made a difference! :)

yes, it is better to eat multiple small portions, but if you're going to eat one big meal anyway, it's better to do it around breakfast/lunch. That way you have energy for the whole day and burn up the food, whereas if you eat in the evening it'll just sit there, especially if it's right before bed. Or something. heh.

Ah, makes sense!
