Chocolatey Goodness

I now know eating a yummy chocolate doughnut twenty minutes before bed time is a very bad idea for me. I did my nightly routine of doing my stepper and lifting my 5 pound weights for as many repetitions as my sore arms could do which wasn't much. All that moving stuff around for the handyman painter wore me out and made muscles sore. Muscles I didn't know I had.  Then I saw it. Sitting on the table, one lonely big chocolate doughnut just sitting and if it could talk it would probably say something like come on and eat me you know I am delicious. And if it had eyes it would be winking. 

I repeatedly told myself that I didn't want that chocolatey goodness that I was now craving badly. I said in my head I didn't really need it but if I do a few more steps on the stepper and possibly trying to do some yoga from my yoga books that for the most part have been collecting dust then maybe that chocolatey awesome doughnut   wouldn't be a bad think. Then I said no just walk away. 

Since starting my journey I have had more chocolate then the law allows sometimes. Sometimes I even dream of chocolate fountain's. So, it didn't surprise me that 20 minutes before bedtime I was munching that tempting doughnut and wishing I had more. 

I can only assume that it was too much sugar too late and I couldn't go to sleep as much I tried and as much as I hoped the sand man would visit me before midnight it didn't happen. I silently cursed my chocolate doughnut, yes I blamed the chocolate doughnut. Although I knew better in my rational mind but I didn't feel like being rational with my sleep deprived mind. All I wanted was at least 5 good hours of sleep. Without waking up ten times sweat pouring from my face and neck. 

I finally got my visit from the sandman around 2 am and then he left me and I woke up hot and sweating 4 hours later. Oh well, such is life, or my life these days. I consider myself blessed for still having a life period. ( with no periods) :-)
