By any account, today has been a pretty crappy day for me already. I am developing a bit of a cold, so I went to bed early last night. I also went to sleep early with the knowledge I'd have to do some cooking in the morning. You see, one of the main principles of the Slow Carb diet is that one must eat within a half hour of waking up. This particular requirement will either make me wake up earlier, or be at work later. With a slightly begrudging attitude, I picked the former.
When I awoke early this morning to start making myself breakfast, I looked outside and noticed my car had disappeared. You see, last night was the first big snowfall of the year in Minneapolis and, though I was registered for snow emergency updates last year, I learned this morning the service does not carry over. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my car had been towed. In the past, I would have used this as an excuse to not make myself a healthy and virtuous breakfast (here defined as lentil stir fry with turkey-bacon, herb-ed chicken, broccoli and onions; a delicious meal.) Instead, I would have bemoaned my ill-fortune and decided to start my exercise and diet regime tomorrow. Likely, that tomorrow would not have come.
Luckily, I felt it necessary to stick with my plan in spite of my bad luck and sickness because I have to report to all of you, the people that have been so supportive of me already. So thank you for being there for me even when I'm just getting started. Now let's just hope that I don't cough up a lung at CrossFit tonight.
A good start to a day that can only get better.
