Tuesday Day 2

Greetings and Salutations
     Well, I got 7 hours 30 minutes of sleep. A bit slow to wake up and seriously considering I am always gonna feel old and chronically tired! After a quick pity-party and more oxygen to my brain (Ok, and coffee I admit) I was feeling pretty good. While I can sleep though the fan being off, it does make me aware of my slacker status when I wake up (hitting the snooze for the billionth time) and know I should be up. So glad I thought to reset that timer! It has been a silly source of frustration for months! What an easy fix!
     One "note to self" as I was getting ready to go biking- maybe hold off on the second cup of coffee :)  I got to Hampton Park and on my bike by 0720. Made a mental note to leave the house earlier so I can be poised and ready to roll when it is light enough to feel comfortable on the road. I want to maximize my time so I can get back home without jamming myself to hurry to eat, shower, and get out the door.
     A note about biking. I really love it. I love the wind, I love Hampton Park, and I love to listen to music and think about things while I am on the road. It is such an unexpected joy I have discovered for myself. I do wish I had friends that bike. Like all things, it is better with a partner. When I bike with a friend I feel like I could go 100 miles. Ok, maybe 15 but you know what I'm sayin'.
     I forgot to do yoga and decided instead of cramming it in because it was on the "list" I would move forward and be sure to do it Friday. I had a nice breakfast and got ready for work with just enough time. I hope after several weeks of this consistently I will increase my energy even more.
     I look forward to a full overhaul of my diet, but that is in the coming weeks. I am actually amazed at how excited I am getting because for the longest time food in general has been my kryptonite. Not so much as a weight issue but because I don't particularly like to cook for myself. Eating healthy takes alot more effort than eating the crap I do. I eat a ton of processed and canned food. Planning meals has been very unappealing to me. Thinking about food in general has been a pain in my pa-too-ka. Anyway, much more thoughts on that to come!

Tootles :)
