so, last night I knew that I was going to fall asleep by midnight! I could feel it in my bones... okay, wait, no, I knew I could fall asleep by 1am. Especially after not sleeping well the night before... ermmm, eh... why is it 2am and i'm wide awake? Okay, I KNOW that I'll be totally passed out by 3am and I can sleep until 10am...
That was how my brain was talking last night... nay... THIS MORNING ---- 9AM!!! NINE IN THE MORNING was when I finally was able to fall asleep ---- I just woke up 20 minutes ago at 1:30pm
what the cuss??!!!?
Last Tuesday I was 240.3 pounds....
Today, I am 232.5 pounds ---- yes, you read that right!!
I lost 7.8 pounds this week!!! Hot Diggity!
How exciting!!! I haven't worked out yet, either! That's on the agenda... not for today though as I am exhausted (and am showing The Friend around for a few days this month)
So this is promising.
Since I set MY GOALS last week, I've done pretty well...
okay... not too well with the getting to bed at a decent time --- maybe I'm putting too much pressure on myself with that and it's making me have a bout with insomnia... At least on Friday night I fell asleep early.
As you can see, I've been writing on my blog again... wow! At least this is getting me back in the habit of posting for consecutive days in a row... it's been a while since I've done that.
Move & Workout -- it'll happen. I promise. Baby steps.
Clean the house... I've tackled some of the dishes thus far... let's just say, I am frightened of them... but at least there's a crack of light at the end of the tunnel
The caloric intake... I am digging writing the calories and all that down... sure, i COULD just do the weight watchers points, but, I'm enjoying looking at the other numbers that I'm putting into my body...
So... that's the first weigh in!!! huzzah!!!

UPDATE @ 10:35pm: sitting here watching Parenthood on nbc... great show! I'm pretty happy with the dinner I made.... It was a faux Chicken Cordon Blue
Gigglemom takes Restoril to stay asleep at night and she's going to let me have one tonight so that I get back on track with the sleeping pattern. Cross your fingers that it works for me --- that and hopefully I won't wind up eating a bag of chips or cookies or hop in my car and drive off in my sleep ;}
