I am definitely feeling the after affects of eating crappy foods.
Do you ever feel oddly tired? Especially since you're well rested and haven't over worked your body..? That's me right now. Although it's not odd at all. I noticed when I eat foods that have little to zero nutritional value my body reacts in a sluggish state. Over the weekend I indulged to a point where I just feel exhausted. I'm staring at the computer blogging and I can barely keep my eyes open. It's lunch time thank goodness so I could take a nap if I wanted to. However, that would be such a tease to my eyes and mental state.
Today started off super frustrating as my co-worker did not show up. Generally Monday's are insanely busy. The office is closed on Fridays so we have messages from Thursday evening all the way up until Sunday night. The number of messages ranges between 20-40 and usually 30 (or so) fax messages. Returning those messages alone while having the phones ringing in between is a tad difficult. Then you have the patients "I left a message and no one called me back" WELL DUH. You left a message over the weekend, I just got in and I'm trying to CHECK the messages. Sometimes I wish my patients just read the blog so they could understand the life of a receptionist / administrative assistant. Then again, I really don't want them to know things that I'm going through that I just want to rant on here.
Blogging I find is just .. so therapeutic. It doesn't even matter if anyone reads it, it's just nice to have a journal and express myself. I used to express myself in harmful ways and I'm just not about that lifestyle anymore.
Currently I have a headache. And now that the messages are taken care of and I sent the intern home (it's already started to snow) it's getting pretty dead / slow in the office. I'm thinking of leaving early myself. If the weather gets bad and I'm taking transit to my parents place, I don't want to be waiting out in the cold having Mr. Jack Frost nipping at my bare skin. Sometimes I think I should get a ski mask but then it's like, "It's March.. winter is almost done. I'll just get one next year". But it feels like winter is never going to be over!

Before I forget let's skip to food. I haven't eaten much today. Honestly, I think my body is still recovering from the foods on the weekend:
Breakfast: Protein shake
Snack / lunch: Couple bites of a brownie flavoured protein bar
Are we noticing a pattern here? Okay okay, I haven't consumed a lot of protein on the weekend and I wanted to make up for it! Did you know when you eat protein you actually BURN CALORIES while eating it? It's like your body is doing the workout for you as you sit there and eat. This is why trainers and nutritionists will tell you to snack on a protein shake before bed if you are starving because it's almost like saying 'zero calories'. I'll update in this post later if I make it to mom/dad's and hopefully able to get in a workout (inside - definitely not outside)! Stay tuned.
