Taking a Day Off

It's been kind of a rough week for both of us, so Anita and I decided to take a vacation day today, and try to regain some of our sanity.  I think it was a good choice.

Bread Talk

I ran out of 7 grain cereal today, and only had about enough to make a 2-5-1.  The loaf came out much better risen, and with a much more open crumb.

A Good Night's Rest, then "Hell Day"

I had a very good night's rest last night.  I was in bed by 7:30 and asleep before 8:30.  That's a good thing, because today is "hell day" at work.  As Scrum Master, I was facilitator for the Sprint Showcase, Retrospective and the Sprint Planning session, all held back to back today starting at 5:30am.  It's 9:30am now and I have just gotten off the phone.

Insomnia Last Night

So, both Anita I were up until after 1 am last night.  I'm not sure what was going on, but neither of us was able to get to sleep, and today we are tired.

On top of that, late nights are not a good time for me.  I tend to start feeling "hungry" after about 10, and it just keeps building after that.  I managed to keep my eating somewhat under control, but it took a lot of willpower.

Meh, Monday

I managed to avoid getting hungry yesterday, and that seems to have helped a lot.  Apparently by the time I feel "hungry," it's already too late.  I need to eat before I feel hungry, since once I feel hungry, I cannot eat enough to stop feeling it.

Maybe I Should Have Cut That Potato in Half

Yesterday's supper was a treat, but I really ate too much.  On top of that it was too long between lunch and supper and I was pretty ravenous by the time supper rolled around.  Even after eating a huge supper, I felt "hungry."

I'm going to try to remember for next time to cut the corn, potato and steak in half before I even start and set half aside.

Also, I'm going to try even harder to remember to have protein snacks between meals when they are widely spaced.
