I must say that this morning was tough. We have had revival meetings at church every night this week, and I work a full time job during the day so I have been tired. This morning when my alarm went off at 5:00 AM I never heard it. My wife's alarm went off at 6:10 AM and then I woke up. The problem was that since I over slept I did not have time to work out this morning.
I did not realize it, but when I am able to get up and work out I usual start my day with more energy and more alert than if I did not exercise. Even though I did not work out this morning I made a point to work out tonight.
For breakfast, I took the kids through the McDonald's drive thru, and I ordered myself oatmeal with fruit, maple, and brown sugar. (I know it seems like we eat there a lot, but when it is one of the only restaurants that services a quick breakfast your choices are limited.) For lunch I had aboard meeting with the leadership board for the church and we met at Pizza Hut. I ordered the black forest ham sandwich with a side salad instead of chips.
For dinner my wife made me a six inch meatball sub, with pretzels, and carrot sticks. While at work I drank an unsweet tea and had a 1/4 cup of Cajun trail mix. Tonight when I arrive home I ate a third of a piece of my son's birthday cheesecake.
I guess over sleeping was my body's way of telling me I needed the rest. Today was a great day, and I am continuing to progress in my lifestyle change.
