Good morning!

It's 6 AM and I am here with my coffee, waiting for 8 am for work.

I wanted to weigh in before I do my exercises, or get on the bike. I'm srill not sure which one I will do. I haven't been too good at doing the exercise DVD in the mornings, I have to admit. I get kinda bored with it. Then, as an alternative, I have the Kinect stuff, but it does require quite some jumping around, and I am pretty sure the lady in the apartment below me will not appreciate this at 6 AM. :)

I'll probably end up going for the bike. That's fine. I like it. I'll put on some TV or something and go for 30 minutes before work. That's manageable.

This afternoon I will go to the gym for my 90 minutes treadmill walk. Then, after, I will do another 30-40 minutes walking to the post office to pick up a package. Sure, I could then choose to do less at the gym, but then I wouldn't make it through a whole movie, would I? :D

Today's weigh-in was great. I am down to 79.1, 800 grams down from yesterday. My fat percentage is still very low - around the lowest that it's ever been - and that's usually a sign of more weight loss to come. Let's see what the next days will bring.

I slept SO bad last night. I drank WAY too much coffee last night, and this is affecting me much more than it used to be. Maybe because I am only half the size? That would make sense, if the caffeine kicks harder, if there is less body to absorb it. The same with alcohol, I suppose? Will I get more drunk from three beers than I used to?

Today I have a TOUGH meeting at work - and I am really not looking forward to it. It's a frustrating client, who really demands a lot of attention. It's one of those that we just gotta get through, and deal with.

Of course, not being able to sleep last night, my thoughts went to the interview. Not good. I need to sleep, not prepare work, at night.

Still, things are doing pretty good.

Band Creation with the kids yesterday was FUN. Our new guitarist brought a song that he's written, and we're learning it. The kids love to have some original material, and as our drummer was not present, I got to be the substitute drummer! It's always fun to do something else. I'm no wiz behind the drum kit, but I get by. I had a blast, and I think the kids did too.

Yesterday at work we were in a class all day. It was all DRY law stuff, but it was really something I needed. I got a LOT of things cleared up yesterday, and I loved it. I hope we get more of these classes.

Only thing was that during the class I got the craziest urge for chocolate. I knew with myself that I wanted it, and that I was gonna get it. So I switched my food choices around to accommodate it, and managed to squeeze in what I wanted without compromising my RDI. I'd say well done, except for eating TOO much chocolate! LOL! Still, didn't go over my RDI, though, so I am okay with it.

So, today and tonight is fully booked with work, exercise, and hopefully a tv-show or two with wife. Then, I'm sure, I will be BEAT and perfectly capable of sleeping tonight. :)

Today I am thankful for
- a package in the mail that I need to pick up. I wonder what's in it? I have several coming.
- coffee on mornings where I'm more tired than usual.
- having a job that makes a difference in my life and in others (even on days where it's a pain in the rear, like today)
- leaning new things

Have a great day, my friends! Life is good!
