I was absolutely exhausted this morning! My “get up at a decent hour” trick didn’t work like it usually does. Usually if I know I’m going to be tired in the morning but want to make sure I get up at a particular hour, I’ll set my phone alarm for one hour before I want to get up, and put a caffeine pill and glass of water next to my bed. When the alarm goes off, I immediately take the pill and set the alarm for one hour later. Usually I will stay awake from that point on but enjoy around 30 minutes lying in bed daydreaming and/or meditating. (By the way, I don’t do this very often, just on days I know I’ll need to get up earlier than usual).
This morning it didn’t quite happen that way. I took the pill, ended up falling back to sleep, had vivid dreams and slept an additional 2 hours. Sheesh. Oh well.
It’s a totally gorgeous day out today and I intend to get outside at some point, but so far I’ve been chained to my computer working.
I have today’s menu all planned out and so far I’ve stuck to it: fruit for breakfast and snack, soup, yogurt and an apple for lunch, and lean protein, veggies and more fruit for dinner. Seems reasonably healthy and low-cal.
