I woke up this morning at 5:30 am, when Sophia crawled into bed with us. I had the alarm set for 5:50, so I didn’t bother going back to sleep. I got up, got dressed to go running, and was still slightly late to my running appointment with Rob and Nina. I had water and a Luna bar before the run.
After the run I made Pillsbury cinnamon rolls with the kids and ate two. Not the healthiest breakfast, but fun once in a while.
I didn’t snack in the morning, because today is the day I help out in Sophia’s classroom.
Darin was home sick today. When I got home I took the remaining rice out of the rice cooker, the leftover chicken leg from the refrigerator, and two eggs and cooked up some fried rice for us.
About an hour later, I was on the couch, completely exhausted and asking Darin if he had the strength to pick up Sophia from school. I’ve stayed crashed all afternoon, with no energy. I ate a dish of cottage cheese to see if that would perk me up a little.
Just in case I needed a dramatic representation that in fact I actually need to make sure there’s protein in my diet and not so many of the sugar carbs just so I can stay awake, I got one today. No rice at lunch! More protein in my breakfast! Or else I will feel like hell all afternoon.
