Sleeping is not over-rated.
Comments(1) Yesterday: 278.0 lbs., burned 3027 calories, consumed 1504
Today: 275.4 lbs., Activity: Inspected my broken bicycle chain.
Yeah, so my bike chain is broken. It’s not like I couldn’t have ridden the exercise bike. Or done a cardio tape/cd. Nope, didn’t do either of those things. Instead, I took a nap.
I was tired. I woke up a little while ago. It’s 11:15 at night and at this point I can barely muster up the energy it takes to feel guilty about doing nothing. So I’ll just do more nothing… and go to bed.
I did this, from time to time, while I was still in the throes of quitting smoking. It was easier to modify my behavior while unconscious. If I was having a huge crave and was frustrated with the battle, I’d just nod out for a while and leave the battle behind me. It’s rather hard to smoke while one is sleeping and I’ve discovered that it’s almost as hard to eat while in that condition.
I was pleased this morning to see that most of my unexplained weight gain had again disappeared. It’s very strange when this happens but there is a definite pattern emerging. Every time that I have a sudden dip in my weight, it is immediately followed by a spike that takes several days - or longer - to burn back off. Don’t know what’s causing it, whether it’s the same factor each time, but at least I can come to expect it now and won’t let it stop me from moving forward. It’s still weird, though.
I made chicken tacos again tonight. I should probably get a little more inventive with the chicken since it looks like it’s going to be my main staple of protein for the rest of my life - but for right now, this works for me. They were awesome, those tacos, and so totally did not feel like “diet food.” I love my “eating plan” woohooo!!!!!
