oh my. you know that feeling upon waking in the morning where just the mere thought of getting out of bed is painful? your eyes are heavy as stones, you fall back to sleep quickly when woken by one of your children, you are already cranky and raising your voice to frisky hungry boys?
yeah. that's me this morning and here hours after finally getting my tired bum outta bed my eyes are still weary and i'm dog tired and it's all because i had sweets last night. now for those of you who don't know, your adrenal glands are this super important system of the body. the adrenals start saving, i think it's insulin, for the next day at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon. so if you eat sweets after that time, your body steals from your next day adrenals so you are setting yourself up for the next day to be a tired and cranky day. and i know this, but the thought and the allure of making mexican brownies could not be ignored. what also couldn't be ignored were the three trips i made to get more of these awesomely delicious GF brownies. how i love Trader Joes GF brownie mix! umm, but i digress. so i'm looking this morning for something for me to do for my body so i can get out of this funk and i found this link.
of course i found this after i completely trashed by stomach this morning with more brownies (damn things!) and a banana. it was an attempt at healthiness. what i really need right now is some water and a shower.
i will say though that we have found that not letting the boys have sweets late in the day is a life saver. i actually have decided that cereal is not meant to be had for breakfast. my boys spin up, act crazy, get a little sassy and weepy. it's just too much. so i think it will be a nice fun treat...hmm perhaps late morning snack with some kind of protein...nuts or something...hmmm
