Running A Little Low

(09.29.08):

Gosh last night I could not sleep at all! I ended up getting shut eye around 3 AM. Now I’m running on 5 hours of sleep. Getting up was really difficult, but now that I’m awake and have eaten breakfast, I’m all good. I decided not to go into my internship today because I did not get much studying done over the weekend. Today is devoted to nothing but school work. Yippie!

For today’s breakfast I had a cup of coffee, black, a bowl of Kashi heart to heart cereal with plain soy milk and a medium sized banana on the side.

Coffee update: I haven’t posted Friday and Saturday’s meals, but just to let ya’ll know that I had only 1 cup of coffee over the weekend (on Saturday). Sunday I omitted both tea and coffee altogether (A FIRST!) . Today I definitely needed a high dose of caffeine to get my brain jumping. Hopefully I get lots of reading done today!

Dinner

While at Di Lac yesterday, we grabbed a bag of freeze dried stimulated pork. It is basically tvp meant to imitate pork–mock meat. Long cooked one dish last night that combined the stimulated pork with vegetarian oyster sauce (which ended up having oyster in it!), soy sauce, and green bell peppers. I remade the Aloo Mutter Jeerawala. It didn’t taste as good as the first time, but I think it’s because I didn’t have any tomato paste on hand. I also added ginger to it (the recipe calls for it), which left a funny aftertaste.

Before I go, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped out with tips about coaching/running. I have never coached before, so any tips/advice given was greatly appreciated.
