Well...things haven't been horrible. But they haven't been great. The last two days have been filled with lathargy and low motivation. I've done well with eating though. After Gavin's football game, we went out to eat to good 'ol Hickory Park and that will be our "eating out" experience for the week. I really need to get my behind to Weight Watcher's this week too. I see no reason why I won't attend on Thursday since I'm hell bent on attending the meetings at 11am Thursdays.
I'm really sick of feeling so run down. I know if I continue to fix my eating habits and if I EXERCISE regularly, I won't feel so crappy. My sleep habits suck too. I have a very difficult time falling asleep around 10pm when normal people go to sleep. Even if I don't nap during the day or early evening, I still struggle going to sleep at a suitable time. It's driving me nuts.
Ok, enough complaining. Time for some goals.
1) Once again I do not want to eat after 8:30pm. I have to move it back half an hour because Gavin and I get home late sometimes from activities or events in the area. I fudged on this goal a couple times last week because of late arrivals home.
2) I need to weigh myself once a week on a non-sucky scale. The one in my apartment is not very accurate so I'll use one at my place of employment.
3) I need to work in an extra 90 minutes of exercise each week. Ideally, I'd like to work out for 30 minute bouts 3 times a week or more. Really wish I had someone to play tennis with.

I feel the same way about wishing I had someone to play tennis with. I enjoy the sport and can play it for hours before I feel like quitting. However, we live 2 hours apart and cannot overcome that. I'm unsure as to what I should do when I get home after 9 pm from work and I'm hungry. Do I snack or do I not let myself eat?? I need to remind myself to keep busy, that helps me not eat and not think about eating! Your sleeping habits have always been odd, good luck with that. Read before going to bed? That's all I got for advice.
Jenny, I too don't think I'll be much help with the tennis thing...that whole 600 mile drive would slightly limit our playing time! Also, good luck with the goals...I know you can do it!
Leann, if you're hungry (like stomach growling, completely empty) you should eat something. If you don't your body goes into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow down considerably. What you might want to do is have some healthier foods/snacks on hand to kill the craving. Your body will be happy and then you also won't be as tempted to binge on something. Even something like a sandwich would be a good choice (ligt miracle whip, mustard, pickles, onions and any veggie are negligible for calories and if you put real cheese on it it's an excellent source of calcium...something all women need)! Cereal is another good late-night option with lowfat or skim milk.
