TGIF

It’s Friday! Jummah Mubarak to all. I don’t know if it’s because it’s a Muslim holy day or the fact that I know I get to sleep in tomorrow but I feel great. I had a solid breakfast, decent amount of sleep, and a lot of water intake. I still have to work on going to sleep at a decent set hour though. Not sure why I can’t seem to do that. Any suggestions on creating a sleep schedule would be much appreciated.

Quick update on times – Sahoor today (cut off time to eat) was at 4:41 am and Iftar will be at 8.25pm.

I did change up how I regulate the amount of water I am drinking and that might be what’s helping my energy level. Last night I drank a 1.5 liter bottle of water after Iftar and then I filled that bottle up this morning and drank another 1.5 liters. I ended up drinking a few more glasses outside of that but this way I know that I am getting at least  100 ounces of water for the day. Every drop of sweat counts when I workout in this heat so I need to make sure I hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!

Sahoor was pretty similar to yesterday but I added an extra egg since I didn’t have anything leftover from the night before. Also, instead of avocado I added the guacamole I made last night. Eggs and guac = amazing. I have had a few non-guac eaters make a face of disgust at me when they see it but I urge everyone to try it. In fact I urge everyone to make it themselves. It’s so simple and really is one of the best snacks, health and taste wise, you can have.  TRY IT!

Oh and yes, I know the toast isn’t Paleo. It’s wheat bread but it’s still no good. I will probably only have it for another day or so until I try out some Paleo substitutes this weekend. The substitutes will include the oxymoron I talked about the other day. Stay tuned!
