While I know the big picture, it is great just focusing on the day. Yesterday was really the first day I stuck to 200 calories every 3 hours, ate a reasonable dinner with the kids and a small snack after dinner. It only took 72 days. But hey, who’s countin’? Oh, I am. I have lost, gained & lost some more in the 72 days but it was through dramatic changes that were spurts. I am focusing on today and I am doing well again. I was STARVING at lunch and a chinese restaurant was right next door to where I was picking something up. I was SOOOO tempted. SO tempted and I would typically say to myself that it’ll be ok and just go get lunch. Instead I saved 10 bucks and probably 1,000 calories.
I also went off my fibromyalgia medicine but quickly went back on it. Lyrica really rocks. You just have to take it early enough in the evening. I didn’t sleep the night I went off of it and was completely “off” the next day. I am back on it and much better. I realized my nerve pain is gone too! It’s the little things ya know.
A friend and colleague of mine found this article on Yahoo on getting quality sleep. And it was different from the other ones I have read. It talks about eating late at night and your body focuses on digesting the food vs. going into a deep sleep.
It’s a good day.
