When Your Brain Wakes Up Before You Do
I woke up thinking… about something. Couldn’t place it. Then I slowed down and paid attention.
It was food.
Not hunger — just flashes of food.
Food, food, food, food, food. Like a broken slide projector in my head.
And here’s the part I’m not sugar-coating:
I wouldn’t get out of bed.
Not because I was tired — but because I knew the second I walked past that kitchen, I’d grab whatever the hell I wanted. Fast. Easy. Comfort. Zero intention.
So I stayed put and asked myself the only question that actually matters in those moments:
“What can I do right now that won’t screw me over in an hour?”
I made a plan before I moved.
First: water — two cups. Reset the system.
Then breakfast:
1 cup egg whites
2 slices American cheese
3 slices 97% fat-free ham
Salt + pepper
Light & Fit banana cream Greek yogurt with blueberries
388 calories. 62g protein.
63% protein / 30% carbs / 7% fat.
A breakfast that actually serves the version of me I’m trying to become — not the version that panic-eats whatever’s closest.
If I had just rolled out of bed and followed the first impulse?
Different story.
Higher carbs, higher fat, lower protein, rushed, not filling, and absolutely not tracked.
Basically, the Monday trap.
But today I made an informed decision instead of an automatic one.
And that’s what this whole damn process is — not perfection, not motivation, just choosing one smarter moment at a time.
Here’s to making your Monday great — even if the first five minutes tried to derail it. You’re still in control.
