No Coffee Makes Shift Worker.. something...something

My partner and I were out and about doing errands. I decided I needed a bit of a snack. I went to the IGA and picked up some grapes that were on sale. A fresh healthy snack. As we were leaving the checkout my partner noticed  a stand giving away free cookies and coffee. He gleefully went over to the cookie table and helped himself. I hung back wearily of the choice I can make. Free coffee...hmmmm.

Free coffee is one thing, but I don't like coffee. I like coffee, and creamer, and sweetener. I promised myself 30 Days of Health. Finding energy and focus in sources other than caffeinated beverages.  I stared the coffee and cookies down, and proceeded to walk right past. 

My partner happily munched on his cookies. I enjoyed my grapes.

Current Protein Powder: Kaizen Natural Whey Isolate (unflavored)

To answer a question from a site viewer, my  current protein powder is a natural whey isolate from Costco. The brand name is Kaizen. There is a cheaper concentrate version, but I prefer the isolate as I get less GI upset from it. 

Shift Worker Snack Time

Bento box bought at Winners. Perfect for portioning my snacks. I work an 2000-0800 shift tonight. I hope to get some sleep tonight, but lots of good TV on! I'll attempt to get some rest in a bit.

I had a great workout in the gym, lots of power and drive with some personal bests.  I was very happy with my energy level and motivation.
