About Time

As per Sunday ritual, me vs. scale. 215.0. Yup, I have plateaued. I knew this day was coming, so I am prepared. I just have to be more intense and change up my workouts, be more mindful of my meals, and continue to stay busy. This has happened to me before and I let it consume me. Frustrated from my lack of progress I invited cookies and cake into my life, and gained back all I had lost. Not this time!!! This time, I WILL WORK THROUGH IT!!!!

I also believe I have found the thing I need to help me sleep, too. Kohls had a BOGO sale this weekend and wifey and I took advantage. Memory foam pillows to go with our mattress topper she got a year ago. I slept like a log last night. Although I can't say the same for wifey. APPARENTLY, I snored like a bear last night. HAHAHA!!!! But I did wake up refreshed this morning, with out having to use melatonin, so hopefully I have found answer I've been looking for.

And in keeping with the whole 2012 change theme, wifey and I re-did our budget. Ouch. We both came to the realization that we've been spending way too much and not saving enough. So for the next few months, we're tightening the belt. So if any old or new friends want to have a good time on the weekends with us, it'll have to be an "in the home" thing. No worries, its cheaper to drink at home than it is to go to a bar anyway. HAHA!!

In two weeks, the Superbowl will be upon us. Six straight hours of pregame, three for the game itself. Ahhhh and the commercials. Can't wait. One big problem though, how does one stay on a healthy diet on this day when tradition says Buffalo wings, nachos, and pizza? When I started this journey I didn't look this far ahead. Its tough, so I'll have to look hard for healthier alternatives. If I find anything good, I will let ya know. G'nite!!!!

Just, damn

I can't sleep... AGAIN. I hate this.I don't want to have to take melatonin for weeks on end, but it seems I may have to. The problem is a few posts ago I started work at 6:30 am. Well, it worked out, but the boss told me 7:30 for Friday. Now for some reason its easier for me to go to work at 6:30 than 7:30. I don't know why, but I woke early on Thursday and late on Friday. Its strange. Normally, I'm a nite owl, just ask all my friends. (the few I DO have and all the rest who hate me because I decided to grow up. HAHAHAH!!!!) So being up late is no big deal.

But one thing I just realized.... Thursday and Friday nites I didn't work out. And I stayed up late. Tuesday and Wednesday I did work out, and got great nights sleep. So the answer is in front of me. I just gotta grab it. Damn, I honestly didn't make the connection until I started blogging tonite.

.............. just, damn.

Another Sunday

Time to go at it, my weekly routine of facing my enemy, le scale. I was feeling a little bit nervous because although I ate relativley healthy, I did over eat on some occasions. Moment of truth.....

214.8!!!!

Just damn!! I was amazed this morning. I had all day to think about how I keep losing, and the only thing I can come up with is my new job. No more am I just sitting on my ass driving for hours on end, I'm moving, lifting, twisting, walking, and all kinds of other things. I think this change was timed perfectly, a kind of healthy perfect storm.

The one thing I can do without is this insomnia. In the last 48 hours, I maybe have slept.... 6??? I dunno what my deal is, but I am going to the doctor tomorrow for a check up, I'll tell him about it. Till then, its another meletonin night. So tonite I am posting from my bed. That's right, there's an app for that!!!

Finally, I got my Total Gym back from my father in law. I was going to set it up today, but got a little distracted from the playoffs. That and I've been nodding off half the day. The only thing I had the energy to do today was to make sure the couch didn't float away. By about 6 I helped wifey clean the living room, but that's about it. So its an early nite, relatively speaking, for me. More things happened this weekend for me, but I'm starting to nod off again. That and posting from this little phone is a bit annoying. So I'll post tomorrow to get all 7 of you caught up. Nite!!!!

P.S. BTW how can anyone throw something away when its endorsed by Chuck Norris???
