Ok I've had really bad sleeping issues for the past 3 weeks. It's kind of like a faux-insomnia, because I know I CAN sleep. But somehow I don't allow myself to get to that relaxed point because I have so many things I keep remembering to do and think about.
The main issue is that I've been deciding whether or not to move back to Africa for work and so that's kind of been a source of stress and then I decided pretty recently (this weekend) to make the move. And so it turns out I have to be there the week of the 20th meaning I'm moving next week and so I'm basically freaked out! I hate packing, moving, anything like that, and suddenly it's crazy. I have basically one week to sort everything out and get all packed and leave. And then yesterday in a fit of industry, I started selling my stuff and I found a buyer for my newish (kinda expensive) pots and sold them at a really good price and now have nothing to cook or prepare food in till I leave because I'm a genius like that. And then I like calorie counting and the control it gives me over my consumption but I'm not really going to be able to do that as rigidly anymore when I move because I won't have control over all my meal prep and so I'm not quite sure yet how I'm going to deal, and I know from experience that the food (though amazing and delicious) tends to be pretty dense and calorie-rich. And then there are a million other things that are constantly running through my head and I'm so tired and just want to sleep but when there's so much to do and think about, I feel like I can't justify sleeping.
Anyway, to bring this back on point. What are some favourite (easy) alternatives to calorie counting?
