Experiments In Sleep

Sunday, November 11, 2012

I kinda miss the day counter.  Maybe I'll bring it back in January when it'll be easy to figure.

Sluggish this morning.  I slept well, I think, but was still dragging when I got up and it took a while to get going.  I did push it pretty hard yesterday.  The usual shower/breakfast/coffee combination has helped and I'm looking forward to a busy day again today.

I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but I've been experimenting with hard surface sleeping.  I'm so fed up with my crappy old mattress that I determined to try not sleeping on it.  So far so good - the first night wasn't terribly restful, but that was due to sinus issues more than anything else.  Since then I've felt pretty decent in the mornings (today being the "worst", probably).

Breakfast:  Leftover oatcakes, 5 slices Tyson bacon, coffee.

I could eat this for breakfast every day.

I didn't need that much bacon, but that's what was left in the package (said the fat kid).  It was good.

Lunch:  Leftover ham and beans.

I'm not going to go back and look at yesterday, but if I didn't already mention it the grocery store ham slice was grossly inferior to the one I got from a local farmer.  I definitely want to get another one of those soon.  I did take a picture of this, so if I remember I can insert it later.  It's a bowl of beans, with ham.

Snack:  ~ 2 oz CF cajun beef jerky, 12 oz Miller Lite, Bloody Mary with pickle spear and 2 olives

Dinner:  2 hot dogs with bun, 1+ beef brat with bun, salad with zesty italian dressing

Snack:  Chips and onion dip

Exercise:  18 holes with cart, moderate extra walking.  Not as much exercise as yesterday, didn't have the same level of pep.  I want to say by the end of the day the pedometer was at 6.5 miles or so.
