Today was another tough day.
Not because of things that happened, or I was tired, or I couldn’t cut it. No today was hard because of food and caffeine cravings. All I wanted was ice cream and cake. And I still want more monster.
I’m dehydrated even after drinking a gallon of water today. That’s from being outside for two days in a row working in the heat and not drinking enough. Also not getting enough sleep last night.
Every once in a while I have insomnia and it mostly has to do with things I did overseas and the demons I guess I still fight every so often. Just when I think I’ve got the son of bitch licked, he comes back to play. Well this maybe a fight I’ll have for the rest of my life, but I will win in the end and he won’t break me.
So sleep and dehydration probably cover the food cravings. The tired might be the caffeine problem too. So all I have to do is get more sleep and drink more water tonight. No problem.
I did get the rest of my stuff done, but that was hard and depressing too.
I went back to the gym to do weights in the first time in almost two months and I was weak, slow, tired, and sick.
My stomach was killing me in the gym and wanted to come out my rear. Not cool at all. I got my workout that I had set up. It should have been pretty easy, but was really hard!
My finger is still killing me to use and I can’t really grip the bar right with my left hand. So all my problems, where problems today. But I overcame them to do what needed to be done.
I did get some things done for my side hustle, I got the yard mowed, I finished my challenge, and got some time with just me. The wife took the kid and went to a friends house today.
The dog is staring at me right now missing the kid. I can see it in his eyes and body language. Funny how pets pick up on everything. And I miss my wife and the kid. I’ve spent so much time with them the last couple weeks that I don’t know what to do when they are gone for the day.
I’m going off to bed early to get more sleep and going to drink some extra water before bed.
