Wednesday, July 9

4:41 a.m. - I got up a little early today after a bit of a weird night.  For some odd reason, I was up every couple of hours going to the restroom to pee.  It was almost like when I had my knee surgery - like my body was trying to rid itself of excess fluid.

Yesterday was a decent day.  I got in a cardio workout at the YMCA, and then I was able to continue work at the temporary alternative ICE office.  I wrapped up the afternoon by getting some errands done - haircut, glasses fixed, oil change, and food for Bella.  I also had some more EOB paperwork arrive.  I still haven't received everything from my surgery, so I can mail all those in and hopefully get some reimbursement.  I don't think, though, that I received anything yet from the hospital.  

Today, the early rise was supposed to help me get to the YMCA earlier, as I'm trying to see what that might be like when school starts.  I also have an admin meeting today, and I have no idea what to expect from that.  Later today, I'm hoping to take the truck and pick up my bicycle and some liquid chlorine.  Those are a couple of things I need to do before heading out on our vacation.

Yesterday, I created a spreadsheet to try to better track and influence my eating habits.  The idea is to have more protein with my daily intake of food than carbs and fats.  I'm going to try to keep my total calories below 2,600, and those calories should be 40% protein, 30% carbs, and 30% fats.  I'm hoping that this effort will help drop some pounds.
