Necessary Mutilation

Weight: 203.1 lbs.

…makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

But not a woman, apparently! I seem to be going to bed earlier and earlier every day, and now am pretty much on Tom’s bus driving schedule. I don’t really want to be, I just find myself exhausted emotionally and physically by about 9:00 every night, and then, because I guess that I’ve slept enough hours already, I pop up at about 5:00 every morning. This is usually a little after Tom’s alarm, but well before I otherwise need to be up for my job.

The good news, is that I then can blog, work out, do breakfast and ready myself for work, more leisurely. Except that I did the same thing on both days of the weekend, and had no reson or need to. But, I suppose it gets me started on the right foot, and I seem to be most efficient in the early morning hours. I believe that I am nearing that time of the month (wink, wink), when my sleep patterns also tend to get even more messed up, as do my emotions, back, tummy and perspective. If this blog starts deteriorating into tearful, sentimental babble, at least you’ll have a heads up.

As to my weight, I am glad to have registered another loss, and this reminds me once again that things are still able to work as they should if I continue my part of things. I stuck with “the program” yesterday, although I do admit that I reintroduced peanuts into my diet, as I had been missing my daily nut time, and just had to have some. I noticed that I felt full on them much quicker than before, and was satisfied with far fewer than I used to nibble. In addition to nuts, I ate tuna, a cheese stick, my eggy breakfast, and a strawberry shake made of protein powder and crystal light. I also had a few teaspoons of this wierd, natural peanut butter, that is made with cayenne and other hot spices, so as to have earned it the title of  fiery butter. For some reason, I had a hankering for this, and every once in a while just love to eat a little with a spoon. Maybe this wasn’t the smartest choice on a day that I already had nuts, but I did have just a wee bit, and it satisfied me all night.

So, today is back to the grind and I feel sorely unprepared emotionally…but am at least off to an early start.

And although I may have the “healthy” part in better control,  I am still waiting for the wealthy and wise part, though!
