Course correction and Wednesday Weigh-in

For the past week or so, I've been struggling with getting a good night's sleep all the way through the night. It's an issue that crops up from time to time and I've the tools and the meds to deal with it. Hopefully by next week, things will be better and back to normal.  With less quality and quantity sleep, I've been sleeping through my alarms (all three of them!) waking up an hour or so later than I should, then rushing to shower, grab breakfast, and get my ass out the door. Yep, I've been a little late for work or like yesterday, waaaaaay late. 

It's a domino effect, without a decent breakfast, my day is totally off-kilter. I'm hungrier through the day and then ravenous by five o'clock. Not good! Since Thursday (except for the weekend), I've been eating larger portions at supper. So not good at all!  Tonight, I'm feeling too full. So I've decided to prep my breakfast for tomorrow and for Friday, so I don't have to worry and there won't be repeat of today! On the breakfast menu: Omelettes with mushrooms, onions, baby kale, green and red peppers. If I don't have time to eat at home in the morning it's ready to pack in my bag or work.

Since we're in another deep-freeze, walking outside for an extended period is out of the question due to frostbite warnings. I'm happy to say my exercise equipment in the basement is not getting dusty!  My man and I have been working out together as his work schedule changed for a few weeks. It's a nice change from being on my own.

Weigh-in this morning: 192lbs.  Not surprised. Even though I am down from last week's bloat, I know lately I've not done a good job controlling my food intake. I am going to do better next week.

  1. Hi Nikki, I love omelets. I eat them nearly every day, so of course, I think that's an awesome breakfast that you've planned, with a really good veggie filling.

    Sleep is very important and is very related to weight issues.

  3. I know exactly what you mean about sleep. My Hubs and I have made a vow to be in bed by 10:30, lights out by 11-11:15. We are normally night owls, with lights out around midnight or after, but it's just not enough sleep. Hubs even picked up a natural sleep aid from Costco that was on sale to see if that would work.

    I hear you about eating too much for supper. I'm equally as guilty of that lately. Ugh. We'll get it in control together!!! :)

    1. Hope the sleep aid helps. Sometimes they do. Valerian or Melatonin are good to try. Probably your routine of going to bed at the same time helps, I do that too. But I find it's hard to do that during the weekend.

      Alrighty! Let's get these meals back in balance!

  4. Hope you can figure out the sleep thing.

    Good job on using the exercise equipment in the basement and not letting the weather get the best of you!

    1. Even though it's temporary, it's a nice kick to have a workout buddy.
      But you're an amazing, die-hard, no weather limit (almost) kind of girl :) I'm just too much of a chicken sh*t to go for my brisk walk in -25C LOL
