Ups and Downs


After the excitement of new food guidelines-- read LOTS more-- I realized I had none of the right things in my fridge or house and no time to go out and find them in the small window between waking and biking off to work. I pieced together what I could from my carb, fruit, veg, protein, milk allotment and headed off.

I must have done something wrong, because by 2pm I was dragging. Really sleepy and totally low energy. Ate an apple, to minimal effect. I left work a few hours later and took a nap, neglecting the massive grocery run I so needed to do and the volunteer work for the school's big project.

By six I was putting on the workout gear and pushing myself through 150 jump sets. Having actually done it (without tripping!) I felt moderately better. After that the push-ups seemed easy. The pull ups completely didn't work with my makeshift broomstick on chairs set-up, but the office park near my house has perfect railings for just such a thing. Fortunately, without any after hours security guards questioning me in angry German.

After a massive dinner, I am back on track. Still reeling at the amount of food I now need to consume and the time it will take to eat it all. Wondering if this afternoon lull is part of the adjustment process... but hoping to circumvent those doldrums tomorrow. Wish me luck.
