Well it's approaching 5a.
Yesterday went fairly well. Slept decently in my car before the bridal show began. I am tired though... My breaking of the rules is costing me somewhat. My body, while ABLE to abide with 4 short naps, is definitely not conditioned yet... it's still punishing me. All my resolve will have to go towards making it through this period.
I took a day off the exercise. I wanted to give myself a little bit of a break. I have no idea if it helped or hurt, but it was harder to get on the bike five hours ago.
Sleep – 25 minutes.
Fatigue – yep.
Exercise - 20 minutes on the exercise bike, despite the time off, butt did NOT like.
3.97 miles
182 calories
31.9 carbs
Weight - 261 lbs
Food - Butter Chicken (homemake by yours truly, but not well)
Mood - Neutral
Health - sore throat
I am thankful that getting up is NOT the hard part of this for me. I was very concerned that my inability to make good choices when comatose would be the real issue for me successfully partaking in this experiment. Really the hardest part is battling the fatigue while you acclimate. Thankfully this is also not a critical week and I'll have help and the bridal show a week from yesterday.
Another item on my agenda that I think will help (although it's gonna require it's own acclimation phase... sigh) is addressing my posture. As I sit at my desk slumping, my body want to lay down because that is more comfortable. Of course I will not do that as it obviously puts me in a bad situation with potentially falling asleep. I think as I get more and more fit, and I improve (re: fix) my posture, it will be easier and easier to adapt to a much more upright life.
I'm also reconsidering caffeine. It doesn't SEEM to hinder my sleeping, and if that helps get through this period successfully, I'll dump it again when it's not longer necessary.
So I have 40 mins before my 5:35 nap. Gonna do something to wake myself up for it.
