Day 261

What a lousy day it was.  It's not often that I write that but everything I did yesterday just wasn't right.  I'm speaking of the diet, of course.  My candy discipline I talked about yesterday has proved to be exactly what I thought it might be...an addiction.  I went through two bags.  I simply can't have it in the house...period. 

That said, let's begin.  My run went just fine.  I was back early enough that I managed another hour of sleep.  I thought to myself that I hadn't been to the zoo in a while and I complained over and over that I'm spending too many days in the house, so I got up and went to the zoo, which was very nice.  Many of the animals were up and alert and doing things.  I got a call from Cynthia that she needed help with a home inspection, so I headed back. 

The inspection needed to be done this morning and no key could be found (later discovered the contractor didn't leave where he was supposed to).  I broke in through an open window after a half dozen calls to the contractor and walking around. 

I watched both Star Wars movies (seven and eight), thus the candy consumption along with chicken and popcorn--it was a hungry day.  I then got calls to report on the trucks from the company in Chicago.  I took care of that after an hour or so and by 7:00 PM, I couldn't keep my eyes open.  I set the alarm for 10 and went to bed therefore mission my swim. 

I did my check at 10 and then couldn't get back to sleep.  I then woke up every two hours and finally gave up and started the next day.  Everything simply didn't feel right.  I've learned I cannot go to sleep early.  It just screws everything up.  I have to stay away from the candy as much as possible.  My body just didn't adjust to the sugar, which I'm sure was a contributing factor to everything.  As I said, it was a lousy day.

Food intake: chicken fingers (400); candy (1000); chicken nuggets (500); popcorn (500).
