Benjamin Franklin...

can kiss my ass!!! Oh ladies, this whole time change bit has managed to kick my butt. I don't know if it's because once again it's dark when I wake up or if it's the fact that while my brain knows it's bedtime my body thinks it's not but this week has hit me hard. I have been so sleepy, I can barely stay awake right now. I haven't been drinking pop but I think my good work is being undone by the fact that I have been guzzling coffee at work. By the time I get home at night all I can manage to do is work out for 30 minutes, eat dinner and then nothing. On a positive note, being tired has done wonders for my mindful eating. Once I clean up at night I don't snack because I don't want to have to deal with the hassle of cleaning up...silver lining?

Anyway, I should stop whining. I haven't blogged in a while so I thought I should hop on here and lay some thoughts out. I know that you are both exceptionally busy so I'll keep it short. I'm actually doing quite well out here in Michigan. I've been exercising, eating well and not snacking. I'm trying to take it one day at a time. I stepped on the scale this morning and I was at the lowest weight I've been at since we started this blog! I am getting tantalizingly close to my 30 pound mark! I cannot wait to get to that next milestone! My original hope was to be at 30 pounds by the start of spring and if I stay on track that should not be an issue!

I am so looking forward to Jenny's visit...I'm trying to come up with a tasty, yet good for us menu while you're here. OK, I should stop here, none of you need to read a novel of my blabbering right now. Good luck with midterms, papers, packing, research, writing, work, life...whatever it may be. Keep up the good work, stay strong, don't get discouraged by small set-backs and press on!

Yes, I agree that the time change sucks butt. I'm so lethargic! Congrats on getting close to that 30 lbs mark!

Ok, here I start my long overdue reading and commenting on your guys' blog. Yes, I, too, agree that the time change was not agreeable to my schedule. Luckily, I am on Spring Break right now so I am playing catch up with work, school, sleep, and cleaning. It'll be nice to start classes next week slightly more refreshed and ready to go. I have been doing really well lately too. I think it's mostly because I have been busy almost non-stop so eating has either been shortened, ignored, or forgotten. By the way, I drink a lot of coffee - is that bad??
