Damn it.

So, today has been pretty stressful for me. I knew well ahead of time that I had duty tonight, so I'll be staying up all night babysitting barracks rats. But does that mean I made sure I got plenty of sleep last night? Noooooo... Once I did lay down, I had fitful dreams all night. Then this morning, after I had decided that I would sleep in to miss PT (we're not required to come in until Noon on our duty night days), my supervisor called to see why I wasn't at PT. So, the next 1.5 hours of sleep were light and unrestful...

Dealt with stress in class as one of my students failed a second-chance retest and had to be washed out of the course. Realized I had forgotten my dental cleaning appointment; this will be reported to my commander later. I missed breakfast, I missed mid-morning snack, I had a Lean Cuisine for lunch.

I'm at the duty desk now, and had a Power Bar Protein Plus with a Diet Dr Pepper (I usually don't mention my diet soda intake, but I bought a 12 pack before I came on shift) and then did 20 pushups. I'm right now fighting the urge to order pizza. When I go on security checks, I'll swing by the other building and get some frozen microwaveable food I have stashed there... but I'll probably cave to a veggie pizza and maybe wings.

All night duty really screws up my entire schedule and my diet. Blegh.

Order pizza. You deserve it.

I'm eating chocolate chips right now.

Too late for pizza now.

0216 update: I've had a Lean Pocket, Brocolli & Cheese, a protein bar, and Brocolli & Cheese. (The B&C is only 60 cal per serving.) I'm only on my fourth Diet Dr. Pepper, which kinda surprises me. Heading on security checks, and will attempt to avoid the snack machines...
