Daily Journey Entry

Once again, we overslept and missed out on exercise.  I hate going to bed so late… but it always seems I’ve got so much to do and I never make enough time for it.

Food:

  • Breakfast (6:45am) - whole wheat english muffin sandwich w/ fat-free cheese & egg (see note), 6oz whole milk.
  • Snack (10:00am) - banana.
  • Lunch (11:15am) - whole-wheat sandwich w/ turkey/fat-free cheese/brown mustard, low-fat string cheese, 1/2 cup celery sticks, 1/2 cup carrot salad.
  • Snack (2:00pm) - 94% fat free popcorn (whole bag).
  • Dinner (8:00pm) - Chicken Curry w/ tomato sauce/green beans/carrots, chicken/herb rice, handful of Triskets, handful of Ritz crackers, 1/2 unsweetened apple sauce.

Exercise:

  • 11:45am - 30 min walk.

State of Mind:

  • Brighter but tired.  I feel better about the choices I’ve made the last few days, although I know I’ve consumed a little more than I needed to the last two nights.  A much smaller proportion of my food intake is bad so it can’t be too bad.  Tired only because I know I’m not getting enough sleep.  Gonna try to get to be earlier tonight.

Tomorrow:

  • Definitely gonna try to get in another run.
  • I need to take a few snacks for myself.  I just finished off the last bag of popcorn I had in my cubicle drawer.
  • I will also appreciate the rest I’ll get from the Sabbath starting.  I have a message to prepare, but it’s still much less stressful to me than most of my other concerns.

Notes:

  • I tried something I’d never done before:  I prepared a scrambled egg in the microwave.  I got out a small glass bowl (one of the ones we use for salsa).  I sprayed the bottom of the bowl with fat-free cooking spray.  After cracking the egg into the bowl, I scrambled it with a fork and then microwaved it for about 45 seconds.  The egg grew to 4-5 times the original size, but once the microwaving is over, the egg deflates.  I toasted the muffin while it was microwaving and then assembled my sandwich,  I was happy with the results, but the egg really needed some seasoning.
