Day 11 Follicular Phase

Hello girlys! Welcome to Day 11. I can not lie today I felt like a zombie because I slept late and had to wake up early. So today I made it my mission to not take a nap and stay up until nighttime so I could finally sleep early. In terms of appetite actually I was feeling more hungry then usual. I believe it could've had to do with the fact I ate fast food and that I expedited more energy then usual because I had volunteering today. Although it really highlighted to me the importance of eating whole foods, which is something I've been trying to incorporate more lately. I've been increasing my fiber intake through adding things such as chia seeds, flax seeds and green veggies. Now I can say that it has definitely made a difference because of eating fast food today, I really noticed the lack of sustenance I felt from those processed foods even though they have much more calories. In terms of mood, I felt pretty low energy and impatient which most likely has to do with my lack of sleep not necessarily the cycle phase I'm in. As for my motivation for my passion projects, I had none because I was so sleepy... Note for today, eat healthy, sleep early and have fun!
