Lunch time

As I was busy downloading some pictures off my digital camera onto my computer, which I don't do enough, I began to feel weak and kind of tired. My first thought was, great here I go again, it's hitting me again. Just when I was feeling good and getting ready to get some house work done, fatigue is going to knock me down. So I began to ask myself my questions, almost like you would a new born baby as to why he/she/they are crying. When is the last time I ate? Did I eat the right kinds of foods? Have I eaten enough? Have I drank enough water? That's when it dawned on me, you goof it's lunch time. I was having so much fun looking at our recent pictures, I didn't realize it was just after 12:00. So I go into the kitchen to see what I could put together that was on my list i.e. high lean protein, healthy carbs, fruit/veggy, water. So I chose to make lemon peppered chicken with a side of greenbeans (I LOVE greenbeans, don't ask me why but I could honestly eat them right out of the can. Who knows?) and ofcourse a class of water. While I prepared that and stuck it in the oven, I realized it would take around 20 minutes to cook the chicken. I needed something to hold me over. When my sugar level gets too far down, I get tired & shaky, after I eat it takes several minutes sometimes even up to 30 minutes to get back up. So I really have to watch and make sure I don't ignore these signs. I hate crashing and then not feeling good for another 30 minutes while my food is being processed by my system. While my chicken was cooking I decided to dig into my home made granola, loaded in healthy carbs, protein, fats, nuts & seeds. It gives me a good quick kick of energy the natural way. Plus it takes like a chocolate granola bar you would buy at the store, just healthier and better for your body. My lunch was outstanding, that lemon does a wonder for plain old chicken breast. Everything was great. Now I feel re-energized. I'm really having a great day. I would love to get a workout in, maybe I can sneak something in real quick before the boys interrupt me. I know that's part of my lack of focus on my workouts. I don't do well working out with the kids running around. I'm always having to stop the video to break up a fight or check on them. Once I start, I just want to go through it all and focus on what I'm doing. Great day. Let's see if I can keep it this way :).
