Can I return this coffee? It did not wake me up.

WOW! Recently, I feel that I am always tired and I think it is starting to effect my mood. Coffee, a full night sleep, and R singing her list of dance party songs are not helping. Now granted, R singing "party rocking in the house tonight" or "I'm sexy 'when' I know it" is both very funny and a bit concerning, however it is not helping my feeling of being tired. I am not quite sure what is going on. I do not feel sick, I am not exercising any more than normal, and my to-do list is not getting to-done. My thought is that maybe I am not eating enough.


I have never had big food cravings. For the longest time my breakfast would consist of just coffee. If I ate lunch, I would eat a cold cut sandwich from home with maybe a side of something in the fridge. I would be starving by dinner and over eat with a few beers. This would leave me feeling bloated and still tired.

I have been eating lunch and breakfast consistently over the last few months, however I know that I am not eating enough of the right foods. I found a few calculators that estimated I should be eating between 2,400 and 2,700 calories per day. By my rough estimate, I have been in the 1,700 range during the week, with 50% of that at dinner. Looking at the numbers, it is no wonder why I feel tired and run down. So starting tomorrow morning, the plan is to eat 2,400 "good" calories spread throughout the day. We will see how that goes.

As for R, I think she may be on to something. I mean, when was the last time you heard "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, singing aaaa-oooo" followed immediately by jingle bells? It takes a pro to mix those songs!
