Sleepy Menu

No, the menu isn't actually sleepy, but I am... everyday.  Why is this?  I want to take a nap everyday after work.  Work is not manual labor - it's pretty much a desk job with occasional treks around the building.  This isn't just while I'm trying to lose weight either.  It's  no matter what.  Go to bed early, stay up late, doesn't matter - I still want a nap.  So if it's not the food, and it's not the job, and it's not what time I go to bed, then what else could it be?  Barring any illness, I can only come to the conclusion that if I didn't have carry around all this extra weight, I just might have more energy.  And who knows, maybe after a few weeks of eating fairly healthy plus exercising, just maybe I might not be so sleepy.  Thoughts?

Alrighty then, on to more pleasant business... the MENU - dun da da DAAA!  (that was a trumpet sounding off if you didn't get it =D)  <<<<and that's a dbl chin LOL!!!  Ah it must be getting late.
 <sorry>

This week's menu has lots of stuff from last week in the breakfast/lunch/snack area.  I don't mind eating a small variety of foods so far.  Dinners, however, I like to change up.  Hopefully, I'll get around a month's worth and then repeat so there'll be less effort on my part - menu planning is draining work - seriously draining.  Just to keep things interesting though, I'll probably throw in a recipe here and there as I come across them.

Training, (aka exercising, workout, etc.) as you'll recall from last week's post, is the same as week 1.  It'll get more challenging in week 3.  But in case you don't want to hunt down last week's post, here it is again:


Weeks 1 & 2
Mondays - Pick a fun outdoor activity
 - went geocaching yesterday - about a mile round trip
Tuesdays - Do at least 8,000 steps (using FitBit to track)
 - I made it to 8133 today.
Wednesdays - Treadmill for 20 minutes @ 2.5 mph minimum
Thursdays - Do at least 8,000 steps (using FitBit to track)
Fridays - Treadmill for 20 minutes @2.5 mph minimum
Saturdays - For 30 min., work out w/ the xbox - Fitness Evolved - I like the kickboxing 

Water is the area that I need the most improvement.  I've only hit the goal once so far.  Sure wish it tasted better - not that it tastes bad, it's just really plain.  Any suggestions?  

Finally, a quick Weight Watchers update... turns out the place I was going to check out closes at 1pm on Tuesdays.  They're open later the rest of the week.  Stay tuned...
