PRIOR NIGHT’S SLEEP: Approximately 6.5 hours. Was up early (3:40am).
MORNING SUGAR: 117.
BOWEL MOVEMENT (s): 1 morning poo (see homework details below).
BREAKFAST: 2 cups of coffee, with half-n-half and a total of 4 Splendas. 2 pieces of peanut butter & cinnamon toast. 2nd breakfast (since I was up so darned early and ate at 4:30 am, I was happy to indulge in a Sausage McMuffin from McD's, when the other half and I went out to run errands at 9am.
LUNCH: 1 diet root beer. 1 turkey/Colby Jack cheese sandwich, with light Miracle Whip. A handful of tortilla chips. Several sugar wafer cookies.
DINNER: I'm a grazer, and will frequently grab many little things, rather than have a full, complete (and perhaps semi-healthy) meal. Tonight: 2 of those mini sausage biscuits. 4 small pieces of peanut butter/cinnamon toast. A Belvita breakfast biscuit (some new ones I discovered, which are delicious, but super high in carbs). I got them at the store today, looking for options to have on me (compact and light) while out and about, particularly on hikes and for if I might feel a sugar plunge. Key is -- don't eat them for snacks, only when needed. Therein lies the rub.
SNACKS: 2 of the newly discovered Belvita breakfast biscuits -- so damned good, but dangerous. Had a little wine tonight, while playing cards. Also, a few handfuls of peanuts while I wrote this afternoon. Oh, and some of the sugar wafer cookies sometime in the afternoon (I think after a brief nap).
EXERCISE: Full body stretch. Free weights. 400 ab crunches / sit-ups.
TOTAL NO. OF STEPS: Didn't even break 4k. Ugh.
WRITING: This blog. Just over 1100 words on "Island Hunters". A blog for my screenwriting service: https://www.klugulascreenplayconsulting.com/news/introducing-shannon. Worked through about 2 pages on the current draft of "Trip". And wrote 4 brand new pages on "ESP. Not a stellar day for productivity, but better than nothing at all.
THERAPY HOMEWORK: Again, as part of my therapy homework, I have to test the waters as to how long I can hold my morning BM, when it's a serious urge. This morning, 12 whole minutes!
SOCIAL OUTINGS: Errands in the morning.
MEDITATIVE WRITING: 45 minutes of meditative writing, resulting in 1166 words on "Island Hunters".
READING: Started "The Shadow over Innsmouth" in my Lovecraft book last night, and today -- before noon, couldn't wait to get back into it, thus finished that short story.
HOUSEHOLD CHORES / PROJECTS: Grocery shopping.
OTHER / MISC.: Not much else today.
DID I MAKE THE BED? Yes.
DID I POOP MY PANTS? Nope. Miracles can happen! :)
Overall, it was an off day. Feeling angry in general, but specifically because I hoped to be uber-productive. I mean, I woke up at 3:45am -- feeling great about maybe getting a ton done before the other half (or the rest of the world for that matter) was even awake. While not a wholly unproductive day, I'm sorta pissed at myself. I mean, I'm back at it all tomorrow, but I hate wasted days -- playing online slots, being a bum.
And I was feeling sorta down this afternoon, and a little angry this evening (for not apparent reason). But -- and this is just my guess -- those high sugar Belvita things... I'm thinking this high sugar intake might have had a bit to do w/ the mood swings today.
