Day 216: Tired

 I gotta post what I am thinking and feeling...and food is still on the brain.

Nutrition is a top priority, but little things can make it harder.

I have posted a ton about eating out or being home without a plan.

Today, I encountered a 3rd obstacle - being too tired.

I was up late last night and felt sluggish all day. As a result, my choices at meal times were not the best....even though I had a plan. I either ignored the plan or only followed part of the plan. Breakfast was the best, but it went down hill from there. Thankfully, by dinner, I figured out that I wasn't really hungry for what I was eating - I just wanted something that took no brain power. For lunch I ate pancakes, but didn't bother to round it out with fruit or protein. I just mindlessly ate the pancakes.

Not sure how to overcome the problem of "tired eating" except to make sure I get enough sleep each night - which I need to do anyway. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find that most of my eating habits have less to do with nutrition and hunger and more to do with bad habits In some ways that is depressing...but in other ways, it is cool to be learning all these things about  myself.

By the way, for dinner, I had roasted potatoes and salad. I think that was a pretty decent meal.

Happy Walking!
