I knew this would happen sooner or later but looks like lack of sleep is catching up to me. It doesn’t help that I skipped on sleeping well the week leading up to Ramadan. I don’t sleep very much as it is but the timing of Sahoor has really thrown me off. I also am not a napper. It comes down to self discipline though and it can be done. I just need to be in bed by a predetermined time instead of challenging my brother to a FIFA tournament or deciding I can make progress on a work project at midnight. Time to refocus and plan better!
With that said, Sahoor this morning was a challenge to get up for. I cracked open 2 eggs and then added about 3 egg whites to a pan. I added some diced onions, tomatoes, and chili powder and mixed it all up. When it was nearly done, I diced up some precooked chicken patties and added it to the pan. I washed it down with a glass of cranberry juice, a few glasses of water, and a protein shake. I performed my morning prayers and went straight back to sleep until I couldn’t hit snooze any longer (stupid app that makes you do math problems to shut off your alarm).
It was a quick breakfast but I think it will do. I am excited about the workout that my gym has posted for today. My only concern is the amount of water I drank. I don’t think it was enough so I will have to see how I feel and make adjustments to the workout as necessary.
