1. combustible matter used to maintain fire, as coal, wood, oil, or gas, in order to create heat or power.
2. something that gives nourishment; food.
3. an energy source for engines, power plants, or reactors: "Kerosene is used as jet engine fuel."
4. something that sustains or encourages; stimulant: "Our discussion provided him with fuel for debate."
My translation:
energy = necessary to life
And lack of fuel stopped me in my tracks today... I was so excited to get out of work early and be productive. My hubby was home from work and we had a lot of "to do" items scheduled.
I had a pretty intense workout this morning... so I probably needed MORE fuel than usual. I was so excited to get a move on that I didn't stop for lunch or afternoon snack. I also didn't keep up with my regular water intake. And I just kept going.
Needless to day, at about 3 pm yesterday I dropped like a helium balloon minus the helium.
I dragged myself around for the next 3 or 4 hours until I just couldn't do it anymore. I barely got dinner made and sat down before I crashed.
Lesson learned...
I cannot ride 10 miles on the bike
Work (even if it's only a half-day)
Watch my husband eat a breakfast burrito without eating something myself
Check out homes with a Realtor
Stop by the shoe store
Make a CostCo run
Review plans for the backyard with a landscaper
Walk around our house for staging tips from Realtor
Juggle 3 loads of laundry
Clean the kitchen
and make dinner for 2 ...
I cannot do all of this without the proper fuel...
It goes without saying, I have to eat more than breakfast to get me through the day. Breakfast today? 3 egg whites, 2 Wheatabix and a grapefruit.
Not enough fuel... apparently I am still learning how to take care of myself.
