All good things... come to those who PUSH for it... screw waiting!!

So Saturday i was a cleaning machine. I even did it all in good time. Didn't watch much TV, didn't do much of any sitting down, until I was ready for dinner (lunch I ate standing up), and I even pushed myself to exercise. I was so tired. My body already ached, and although the house cleaning counted as movement... I just knew I HAD to get it in so that I could dig myself outa this hole I created for myself these last few weeks. I only did 36 minutes, I did take it at a lighter pace, but I did it! Did I mention I mopped with my wrist weights on... holy cow my arms were hurting!!! Then... off to bed I went... and didn't sleep. I was up (damn insomnia) until around 4:30... hubby came home from work Sunday morning and damn his snoring woke me up after 3 1/2 hours of sleep.

So needless to say... SUNDAY SUCKED! I figured something out too... Why is it when I'm tired... i mean no sleep tired... Why am I a bottomless pit of hunger? When hubby gets no sleep... he doesn't even think about food. Me, all i can do is eat. I don't get it!!!! At one point... I tried so hard not to eat, to do anything but eat... and I gave in after 30 minutes. I guess it just proves, if I don't get any sleep. I'm a spineless weakling. Which I already knew. hahahaha!! I didn't exercise. I admit... It took everything in me just to stay awake and take care of missy. I didn't do anything but watch a movie, read and eat. And I can't wait to read some more. I'm lovin' this book I'm reading. :)

I did end the week with 5 workouts totaling 3.16hrs. I'm proud of myself. Considering I'd only been doing about 1-1.5hrs the last few weeks.

However, as much as I ate yesterday... I'm proud to report a 1.8 pound loss. Just happens to be the weight I put on last weekend... hhhmmmmm...... makes me wonder. I know I probably did some damage yesterday and I am just thankful I didn't see any results from it today on the scale. I do know that means I need to be diligent this week and work on my eating. Now that exercise is back on track. I need to get my eating reigned in and under some semblance of control. :)

My resolve is good. I feel like (despite yesterday) I'm finally in a good place. Finally where I feel I should be. I feel like I pulled myself out of the hole and I'm looking ahead and searching to avoid any more holes. I know there will be some more... it's part of the journey... but hopefully, next time i can pull my foot out before my whole body jumps in after it. :)

So my plan today is to get rid of this pounding headache (& pray it doesn't turn into a migraine), work. exercise, & maybe some vacuuming of this dirty tile (it's filthy after 1 day, we'll see:). Also... I'm excited to get back on my vegi and fruits eating plan. Salad here I come today. I miss you my sweet leafy friend.

Always,
Jules
