Day 3

Woof.

I knew today would be one of the toughest, as last night I felt the effects of waking up earlier all week around the middle of dinner last night.  All i wanted was to go to bed, but we had to make it home from Buffalo Wild wings.  Probably my least favorite restaurant, especially when it comes to healthy choices, but one thing I learned from previous weight management attempts is that an "all or nothing" policy is not sustainable and will push people away.  I feel like I did not overeat and did not order an overly portioned burger, just a cheeseburger and fries.  Waifu really likes this restaurant and she seemed overwhelmed from yesterday, so I acquiesced to BWW.

Overall, I didn't really make it out of bed today until after 5:00am, but I had a brief window at 4:00am where I woke up, then feel back asleep immediately.  I did notice last night that there were a couple of times that I could have fallen asleep for the night - once in bed, once snuggling Lena.  Then after those two I had trouble falling asleep.  I tired to imagine counting sleep jumping over a fence.  That wasn't really interesting so I tried counting Waifus jumping over a fence.  That was more entertaining but still didn't work.  I eventually fell asleep but I need to work on my bed time routine.

The workout today wasn't too bad, but I admittedly pushed myself to run more because of the cheeseburger from the night before.  I ran at a 4 on treadmill for a quarter mile in 3 sets, with the third set pushing the pace to full sprint.  Full sprint felt baaaaaad but I remember this is a process, and it will take time for a speed of 4 to be the new normal. Overall distance wise I went about 2 miles.  I am looking forward to building back up to a 5K and being able to do some races next year.
