Day 8 - A New Begining

Day 8
I think it is possible that I slept the ENTIRE night.  There was a time around 2AM that I may have woke up but if I did it was briefly, which is good because normally I wake up at night and am awake for a minimum of 15 minutes. 
YEAH for good sleep!

Breakfast wasn't THAT creative - fried eggs (in coconut oil of course) with a little homemade salsa on top served with the pork sausage I made yesterday.

Once I got all my peeps off to school and work I realized I was working super-fast.  In fact I was doing everything super-fast.  Holy goodness...I have way too much energy.   Where did this come from?  If my leg were not jacked up I feel like I could run the Army 10 miler and I'm only a 2-3 mile runner.  Seriously.  What is going on?  Super high energy levels....let's hope this continues.  I feel a little like the Road Runner today.

Lunch was a pain in my arse yesterday. I planned to go to lunch with Hubby since I had to run him to Camp Kim to pick up his car (oil change -tire rotation).  As it turns out he had a meeting that wasn't on his calendar so I told him I would run to Subway to grab a salad for him and meet him back at his office- no biggie right? Right.  Except that after I waited in the SUPER LONG LINE at Subway the first question they ask me - 'Cash OK?" Me - "Um, No, debit" (I had 1,000 won on me seriously!) Them, "Oh, no, no, so sorry - cash only - credit card broken."  For real?  I looked around to see if I could order from any other place.....  That is a BIG FAT NO.  I ran (hobbled) to the ATM for cash then back to Subway where the line was still SUPER LONG - informed all the people in front of me that it was a cash only day - the line got shorter ;o)  - finally ordered Hubby's salad and got it to him 10 minutes before his meeting.  Guess what - I forgot to order mine.  Forget it, I made one at home.   I tell you that because you get NO PICTURE.

2PM - my midafternoon lull DID NOT HAPPEN!! 
             I didn't even notice it was 2PM!  I always know when it is 2PM!                
What?! 
That never happens.
I am always waiting at the bus stop with a cup of java in my hand ready to tackle the afternoon fights that occur before my children even step off the bus. :o)
I can totally get used to this feeling.
If I feel like this every day I will NEVER go back to eating sugar or carbs again.
(OK....maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself as a nice piece of cheesy garlic bread just popped into my head!)

Dinner was Tom Kai Gai - Hubby's favorite.  I wasn't sure about this at first, but I thought I would give it a try.  I can't imagine making Tom Kai Gai without palm sugar, but the verdict...DELICIOUS!  I can't believe it is just as good (or better) than what I typically make!  The original recipe is from here from SeriousEats.  I will post how I made it later. (I keep saying that don't I?)

Day 8 ended on a high note. 
Great energy, great dinner, not much fighting between the kids.  :o)

Let's keep our fingers crossed for Day 9!
