Ahh... ZZZZZzzzzzz

Today I took a four-hour nap after getting back from PT. I really did mean to get raring to go today... but the nap was cozy and warm. I probably needed it, too. I haven't been sleeping as well lately. I think my body is still trying to figure out the best way to adapt to the very early morning phenomenon. Last week, I tried two-hour afternoon naps. It didn't seem to work very well.

PT was walking laps around the LZ... same as Monday for the remedial session. I farted around all day until my private lesson and class. Last night's class, however, was a pretty good workout. We did an obstacle course with two little jumping obstacles. My foot held up pretty well.

Today I'm going to do a simple bodyweight session. It's going to be a circuit of pushups, squats, crunches, and front and side planks plus bridge. Because this one is going to be time-based (30 minutes), the repetitions per exercise will be low (10-15).

Easy-to-read version:
Pushups: 10
Crunches: 15
Squats: 10
Side-Front-Side-Bridge: 15-15-15-15 sec.

Lesson learned last night: I had a terrible sugar craving last night, and on my way out to karate I bought not one, but two candy bars, and scarfed them down.
Five minutes later I thought I would barf everywhere (in my gorgeous Babydoll!). No more candy bars! That was possibly the most negative response I've ever gotten from candy.

I slept through breakfast time this morning, so for lunch I am having tuna salad. I have this terrible mental block about eating breakfasty foods for lunch. No scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, or bacon at noon, please. Here is my tuna salad recipe.

1 can of tuna salad (in WATER). Open, drain, rinse sink.
Add a little bit of mayo, mix. Add a little more if needed. It takes about two MRE spoons of mayo for a 12-oz can.
Optional: Take a small scoop of pickle relish and mix in. Pepper and other spices may be added pending availability.
Mix well.
Eat until no longer hungry: store remainder.

OM NOM NOM NOM.
