day 3

Holding strong and feeling great! My body is definitely showing signs of going through "nasty shit" withdrawals. The most promising, and gratifying, was me sleeping well last night, and not sleeping in until 10-11am. No matter what time I go to bed, I always seems to be groggy and miserable no matter how late I sleep, and that keeps me in bed until 11am or so most mornings. Then I am grumpy and pissy because most of my morning is gone, and if I have to be at work or somewhere, that means I probably don't have as much time as I'd like to just sit around and sip coffee while perusing the news on the interwebs.

This morning I woke up at 8:30 and was tired, but knew I'd not fall back asleep. I laid in bed another half and hour, then got up. Beautiful! It's hard to explain why I suspect my diet was making me sleep so miserably, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

What's going to keep me sane and going these next 25 days?

Bam. This delightful treat. Their peanut butter and jelly flavor is soul satisfying as well. All their flavors are great, but this... this... this is like eating a peanut butter cookie. Without the gut-gnawing regret afterwards. This is a meal (breakfast), snack, and dessert, all in one. 210 calories, yes. So really, a meal. I love them.

I definitely need to keep posting daily about my progress to keep my spirits high and my motivation burning. So look forward to this!

About Me

My photo
I would be remiss if I didn't extend my gratitude to the Fulbright program for this jaw-dropping opportunity, as well as to the Honors Department at the University of Louisville, for its hard work in ensuring my selection as an English Teaching Assistant to Oman for the 2012-2013 year. My brief bio - Born and raised in Amboy, WA, I attended Clark College in Vancouver, before going on to the University of Washington in Seattle where I earned a BFA in Fine Arts - Oil Painting in 2004. I then attended USMC Officer Candidate's School, and accepted a commission as a second lieutenant in the summer of 2005. I served for four years as a logistics officer, stationed in Camp Lejeune and deployed worldwide. After the conclusion of my commission, I moved to Louisville, KY where I attended the University of Louisville, achieving a BA in Art History and a minor in Middle East and Islamic Studies.
