Losing again today
9:21 p.m. - 2005-08-25
145 this morning, woohoo! I guess I wasn't "stuck" after all. I'm going to stop worrying about losing too fast or whatever and just be happy that it's happening for now. I'm sure it will slow down soon enough! I am worried about getting stuck at about 133, actually... I used to end up around there when I had a more active job. But I wasn't eating as well then, so I don't know. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess. I'm hoping I can drop another pound by Sunday and then I will be at my next goal for my weigh in! My other big health issue at the moment is sleep. I am having trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep, mostly because of the stuff currently going on in my life I'm sure. But I'm going to start trying to have a sleep routine, because that may help. I am moving my exercises/crunches to earlier in the evening because I don't think they really put me in "sleep" mode. So far for my sleep routine I am thinking I will turn my bed down, then go out into the living room and have herbal tea (I want to get some sleepytime tea or something but I have peppermint for now), light a scented candle (I'll get one to just associate with going to sleep) and read a particular book. I mean, the book will change obviously as I finish one and go on to another, but I will only read it at bedtime and I'll try to make it a "comfort" book, not anything scary, etc. Then when I'm done with the tea I'll wash my mug, brush my teeth, wash/moisturize my face, and get in bed. Read a reading from some sort of devotional/meditation book and turn out the light. Pray/meditate until I fall asleep, instead of worrying. The reason to have the book/tea/candle part in the other room is that hopefully when I come back into my bedroom to go to sleep, it will be more "different" and put me in sleep mode rather than it just being the place I have been sitting with the computer/watching TV all evening. Soooo that's the plan. I think I'll try it now and let you know tomorrow how it goes!
