*Sigh*

I weighed in, yesterday, 1 pound less at 192. Pretty uneventful. I have to watch that I don’t get too greedy. I have to keep everything in moderation otherwise I risk falling off the wagon. A hard fall, the ones I don’t recover from, where I gain all the weight back if not more before I even dust myself off.

Last week wasn’t a particularly good one. I ate out, no less than four times, and didn’t get a ton of workouts in. I was pretty pleased with how well I did restraining myself while eating out, though. However, just smelling the food at these restaurants is probably twice the amount of calories and fat than I would be getting eating a healthy meal at home. Eating out has got to be curbed.

Also, I didn’t get a good amount of sleep. Being rested makes a huge difference on my mental state, not to mention, gives me the energy to work out well. I get depressed and discouraged a lot easier when I’m tired. I had been doing well getting my sleep in, but lately, I just haven’t been able to fall asleep and my daughter has been waking up a ton in the middle of the night.

What is going on? Is there something in the air? A few of us have felt it and I think it’s giving my daughter nightmares.

Ahhh, how I would love to pass the buck and put the blame on something other than myself.

This week is off to a slow start, I’m still trying to fall asleep and both my husband and I being busy at work lead us to eat out. We’ll see if I get it together.

(insert big sigh here)
