emtifahp's Journal, 24 Oct 08

So last night I had to get ready for a trip I am taking this weekend to Roanoke. This required me to do some laundry which was not drying very fast. By the time I was mostly packed and ready to go - it was 4 am - leaving me about 2.5 hours to sleep.

My problem on nights like this (other than the not sleeping) is that the only way to keep my energy up in order to stay awake is to eat. So I ate a box of Mac and Cheese. It was Kraft's new 50% whole grain mac and cheese (kinda confused if the whole grain was in the noodle or the chese or maybe both). Of course in order to stay awake today I am feeding myself again. I had a really big breakfast and even indulged in a choco. chip muffin (which was delicious) but now it is lunch and I am still full. But do I get something to eat even though I am not full - or do I risk falling asleep at my desk and not eat anything (but maybe just drink water). Anyways - that is today's connundrum. Hopefully I will just sleep on the drive down to where I am going.

Hi I just linked to you from the water challenge. I noticed you are on the blue team too. I'm on the ww core plan. Which one are you doing? I was having that trouble last year when I was working a clerical job, getting tired at my desk. I started keeping a jar of peanuts at my desk. I would just take a small handful to keep me from getting tired. They have a little bit of carbs and a lot of protein. I think the protein helps. I have type 2 diabetes and I always have to have a protein with my meals and snacks to slow down the carbs getting into my system too fast. You needs carbs too for energy and protein helps you feel full longer and not so hungry. I was having trouble my first week of the core plan just feeling like I was starving and they told me I wasn't eating enough protein. LOL of course maybe you just need more sleep. I hate that when I'm going on a trip and havent had enough sleep. :) Have a great week, and hope your trip went well. DD
