Motivation, where art thou lol

Coming out of a three day weekend and being back at work I am finding it difficult to be motivated to go to the gym in the morning.  It's not impossible mind you - just finding the motivation is proving challenging.

I need to get more sleep at night as I find I am not getting enough sleep.  That, and I keep being woken up each night by Adam shouting "SVEN - FIX YOUR DAMN CPAP MASK".  I understand that it leaks air at times, but honestly I can't pull the mask any tighter because it causes major red marks and chafes the skin on the bridge of my nose.  Adam wakes up if you drop a feather whereas I can sleep through a tornado.  I think Adam needs to update his sleep schedule to reflect going to bed at a time before 3AM.  He then may be able to take a sleeping pill or something before bed and not be woken up everytime I breathe a certain way causing my mask to leak air.  In any event, I ordered these "CPAP Silencer" pads for the mask.  It's like a thin layer that goes between my face and the mask.  Hopefully it fixes a lot of the problems surrounding air leaks.  They should arrive by Friday.

I've been bringing my breakfast and lunch everyday to work now.  Breakfast consists of a protein bar (I've found a few different kinds I like) and a handful of almonds.  For lunch I do a Lean Cuisine with a few Special K crackers or a few almonds (or if I'm not feeling a Lean Cuisine I'll do a few slices of thin roast beef with sliced cheese and crackers).  Dinner varies, but usually like 4oz of roasted meat (like pork, chicken etc.) with a salad.  Sometimes I'll do pasta salad or rice, but I have to keep in mind that I fill up really quick on stuff like that, negating the ability to get a lot of protein.

Tonight I have set out tilapia to bake.  I am going to panko bread it with some ginger, red pepper flakes, lemon, and garlic powder.  I've made it before and it turned out really good.  Because the fish is so light, I am making Rice a Roni with it.  I am a huge fan of Rice a Roni since it is one of the few rice dishes that fully absorbes the liquid you cook it in, thus no expanding happening in the stomach :).

I'm a little over three weeks from my 3 month follow up.  I am going to start walking more each day to ensure I have lost as much as possible for my weigh in.  I'm excited to see how much I am down.  Maybe I have broken the 100lb threshold at this point.  Either way, I'm not checking until my weigh in :).

Happy and healthy eating all!
