Snack or sleep?

Not much to report lately.  They are calling for a couple if inches of snow today - this weather is bizarre considering it was 70° all last weekend. Damn.



I've been doing great with eating but I really haven't had that "slim feeling" in the morning in about a week.  Maybe it's the food that I'm eating or maybe eating too much at dinner even though I'm staying within my points. I'm curious what the scale will say on my Monday weigh-in.  Last night I had this terrible urge to snack from about 8:30-9:30.  I could have eaten some raw vegetables but I don't want to get back in the habit of eating after dinner.  I fought the cravings off and just went to bed at 9:30 so I wouldn't eat.  Apparently I went to bed too early beacuse I woke up at 2:30 this morning and tossed and turned for a little bit.  I think that some days I go to bed too early and I don't rest well.  I get bored alone at night and I don't want to eat so I just go to bed and watch tv but I always end up falling asleep within minutes.  Another reason why I go to bed early some nights is that once in a while I get restless leg syndrome in my left leg (weird that it's only in one leg) and it seems to help if I lay down.  I've read that it is hereditary and my mom used to have it.  UGH!

I need to get in gear with exercise too.  Some nights I do a good amount and other nights I may only do 15 minutes.  I need to make it a point to do at least 30 minutes.  That will help with my sleep and also give me that slim feeling.  Maybe I will start back up with my Slim in 6 dvds.

That's it for now.  Make it a great day!

  1. hey sweetie! You are doing great! I've been a little bummed about this water retention thing, and been super swamped at work, so that's why I'm not posting every day. Still for sure at it, though! Have a good weekend! :D

  2. What about finding a hobby that you can do while you're watching TV that will keep your hands busy? I'm thinking one of those ginormous and challenging jigsaw puzzles, knitting, drawing, painting, or even old school solitary (the card game).

  3. Good for you for trying to avoid the eating after dinner. Exercising instead of eating would be a great plan.
