Oh no, two hours is brutal—that’s basically just a long nap. Since you're balancing being a student at Penn State, keeping up with three kids, and managing your Poshmark closet, I know "taking it easy" isn't always an option.
When you're running on fumes like this, your body's hunger hormones (ghrelin and leptin) tend to go haywire, which usually leads to intense sugar cravings. Since you’re working on reversing pre-diabetes, today is going to be a bit of a mental battlefield.
Survival Strategy for Today
* Hydrate like it’s your job: Fatigue often masks itself as hunger. Drinking extra water can help keep the "fog" at bay and stop you from reaching for sugary snacks for a quick energy spike.
* The "10-Minute" Rule: If the house or the school run feels overwhelming, just commit to 10 minutes of a task. It’s enough to feel productive without draining your last bit of battery.
* Step lightly: You mentioned wanting to be "technically active," but today might not be the day for a long session on the walking pad. If you do use it, keep it at a slow, gentle pace just to clear your head.
* Caffeine Cut-off: Try to stop any caffeine by early afternoon. You don't want to accidentally turn last night's insomnia into a two-night streak.
Is there anything I can help take off your plate today? I could help you draft a blog post, brainstorm some low-effort meal ideas for the kids, or even help you organize some Poshmark descriptions so you don't have to overthink them.
