Day 2 of getting my sh!t together!

It is the second day of getting my life together, and although it wasn't perfect, it was still consistent. I am an insomniac, so sleep doesn't come easily to me without any help. I did not take my supplements or drink chamomile tea last night, which generally helped me to sleep. The supplements are usually made up of lavender and other herbs that help relax your nerves.

It works for me. So, I tossed and turned till 4 in the morning, as a result of which I could not go for a walk in the morning. But, I woke up just in time for my yoga class and joined it. I don't really enjoy it, but doing yoga makes me feel better throughout the day. It also helps me with sore muscles and body aches. I also feel very calm and at peace while doing it.

However, unlike yesterday, work was good. I managed to get a lot done and also binged on a couple of episodes from Queen of Tears. I'm so hooked on it. But, I can't watch anything at a stretch so I take breaks in between. It was a decent day but I wasn't feeling my best. I can't figure out why.

Anyways, now let's come to food. Since I woke up late, I wasn't in the mood for breakfast but I still ate something and lunch was a fulfilling Bengali meal, it was so yummy. Dinner was light and hearty. Also, I drank chamomile tea now, so hopefully I can sleep.

Breakfast:

1) Ice cream sandwich (I know not the healthiest option but I love it)

2) Black coffee

Morning Snack: I got snacky right before heading to shower and that's when I had some leftover white potato curry aka shada alur torkari! It's so yummy. There are days when I eat this for dinner by itself.

Lunch

1) Brown rice

2) Fish curry

3) Roasted papad curry or papor er torkari

4) Salad

Evening Snack:

1) Grapes (I had to heavily edit the image as the one I clicked sucks)

2) Black coffee

3) 1 biscuit

Dinner:

I had some chicken ham so I boiled some corn and stirred it with the ham in some butter and pepper. I then put together a salad with the buttered corn and ham, cucumbers, onions, and green chilies, sprinkled some garlic salt, pepper, and chat masala. Served with a spoonful of relish on top. This really put my day together. It was so comforting.

Last but not the least, I had a cup of chamomile tea.

Oh, here's my choice for song of the day-
