It's too early to be up!!!

This picture is my mood today, indifference? Bordom? Who Cares? I think this picture was taken about 2 months ago when I was just starting out with NS, about 45 pounds heavier than I am now. Not that you can really tell the difference from today since it's just a head shot.

I am having one of my bouts of insomnia and it's only 4:30am, can't sleep. I hate that I have always been such a poor sleeper. I can function really well with just 5 hours of sleep usually. Been that way most of my life, though usually Thursday is a day when I sleep in, get some extra sleep and make up for the rest of the week. But today, nope, just can't sleep.

Thursday is always NS Pancake day. I do like the pancakes but since I am only home for one breakfast of the week, it has to be Thursday. I will also have a egg substitute omelette with onion, spinach and two slices of fat free cheese. This is one of my favorite breakfast days.

I didn't get my NS shipment yesterday, but according the the tracking I should get it today. Which is good since I should be home all morning. I have to go to my sister's sometime today and hook up her new digital cable box. The cable co wanted 50 bucks to send someone out, what a ripoff for 10 minutes of work.

My final vacation of 2006 will begin on the 11th. I have 13 days off. Since I work in the sports field, we have to have all our time done with by the start of the preseason football season in August. I will still have three more days to take, and I will do that in August, but no more longer vacations.

I'm watching MSNBC right now and the beach boys are performing. I can't believe they are still around. Some things never change, well, they just get older. Is Mike Love ever going to call it a career? What is he, about 70 now?

Now that the Beach Boys are playing a song I may finally be able to get back to sleep. I will post my meal menus later.

Late Thursday Update : I had a good day. My ear seems to have cleared up, well maybe not 100%, but 90%. Hopefully it will not relapse.

I had my NS pancakes for breakfast with egg substitute omelette and 2 slices of toast.

I didn't eat lunch. Rather, I went to the gym about 12:30 and got done close to 2pm. When I was working our regularly last year, after each workout I had a smoothie at the juice bar. My favorite is the Juicebar Punch, which has nonfat frozen yogurt, 1/2 banana, cinnamon, honey and protein powder. The small one I estimate to be around 400-500 calories. Little did I realize that I was putting back the calories I just worked off which was slowing my weight loss. So this time around I only allow myself one Juicebar punch about every 2 weeks. And, it has to replace my lunch meal.

I did get my NS shipment today so I had the NS Ravioli tonight with Polenta and spinach.

Dessert was carmel corn and peanut butter on toast.

Total cals came in right around 1700 for the day.

Hopefully I can get a decent nights sleep since I have to be up early to go to work tomorrow. Take care everyone.
