Well, as I expected I didn't sleep at all last night and had my first day of Class 1 training and boy was I tired, thank goodness it was only for 4 hours. It was a lot to take in the first day, I had to learn everything about the truck before you take it out, there are some similarity's from a bus, but boy, was there a lot of information! Very interesting though, I love driving (anything) so the more you know about what your operating the better, especially an 18 wheeler! I drove it around the block a couple of times far away from people and small children, I didn't do too bad, I found the shifting a little confusing because of the split, but after a couple of goes and practicing going from 4th to 5th it got a lot easier. A s for the size of vehicle it wasn't too bad since I'm used to the bus, but turning is a lot more detailed and a lot wider!
So, I did come home and have a nap as I was beyond pooped! I am going to miss my Overeater's Anonymous meeting tonight, but I shall call a fellow member to keep in touch and make sure I don't derail, as I find missing a meeting can have a backsliding effect. Food wise was good, I had to drag my sorry ass around the grocery store this afternoon, to top up my fresh new grub, I wanted so badly to nap in the soft produce section!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 1/2 cup granola, 1/2 cup berries, 1/2 cup low fat natural yogurt, 1 scoop protein powder, 1tbsp bee-pollen, 1 tbsp flax seed, large glass of water & cup of coffee.
Lunch: Ezekiel wholegrain wrap, spinach, spring onion and humus, hand full of dry nuts and fruit, large glass of water.
Dinner: Mackerel fillet, brown rice and steamed broccoli, large glass of water & cup of tea.
Snack: 1/2 cup natural yogurt, 1/2 banana.
Activity: None too pooped!
So tomorrow I am back at Truck Training School for a professional driving course, it's all classroom and no driving, which is a shame because I'm kinda eager to get back behind the wheel of that big old thing!
Take care all, I hope you have a fantastic day tomorrow.
