Year 3, Day 80: Huh? What?

Amazingly, I had a conversation with some work mates about the importance of eating breakfast. Some of them were not into "doing any work" in the morning. I sometimes take it for granted how soothing it is (albeit repetitive) to cut up strawberries and bananas, measure out cereal, coffee, etc. It's very satisfying. I can't see wanting to eat a prepackaged cereal bar (though they are yummy) when you could be eating something fresh or hot (like an omelet and turkey bacon).

Breakfast

Heritage Flakes
Strawberries
Blueberries
Banana
Unsweetened Soy Milk
Coffee

Lunch;

The saturday after poker can leave me totally wiped out from the usual nut frenzy, shameful poker losses and lack of sleep. Drinking lots of coffee usually helps. One of the things I must look out for is feeling that tired feeling and trying to make it up by eating chocolate. I know it's happened to all of you, if not with chocolate, it was something else. Don't lie, it just makes it worse.

Year 2, Day 334: The Harsh Wednesday Morning After

Daylight hurt this morning and unlike the poker game where there is little or no alcohol, this was an honest-to-goodness type of slow-going-tied-one-on-the-day after kind of morning. I was surprised that by 10 in the morning I had actually gotten into a groove with the help of lots and lots of coffee. The super yummy bread and peanut butter was a good pick-me-up treat, as it required very little preparation.

Breakfast
2.5 Slices of Small Jane's Bread
Super Chunky Peanut Butter
Coffee

Snack
Green Tea
2 oz 50% Jalapeno Cheddar
2 Sticks Beef Jerky

Lunch: Won Ton Kitchen
Chicken with Green Beans
House Special Egg Drop Soup
Tea

Dinner
Chicken Breast
String Beans with Ground Turkey

Strangely, I had poultry and green beans for lunch, and then came home and had it for dinner. Today I wanted to get back onto Green Tea, because of all its wonderful properties. Since the revelation of the Cuisinart coffee maker, I have stopped having tea in the morning, and instead having lots of yummy coffee. But I liked having tea in the morning and then coffee in the late morning when I get to work. Now I am trying to switch it around.
