10/13

Bleh.  Couldn't think of a creative title.  LOL  So, we'll just go with what the date is.  Yeah, that's what we'll do!

I'm sitting here enjoying my latte.  YUM.  I added it up yesterday and the whole thing is 100 cals.  It usually takes me ALL day to drink it since it's pretty much equal to drinking around 8 cups of coffee.  But I need it today.  I got more sleep last night than I had, but still feel a bit drained.  He only got up once last night, but he started crying right at my bedtime so I got to bed a bit late since I wanted to wait a bit and see if he went back to sleep.  Once he did (after only a couple of minutes! :D ) I waited a bit to make sure he was good and out and then I went in to check him.  He was out.  So, I took out his bottle, made sure his paci was in there, covered him up, and finally got off to bed.  But all in all, I think it added more than 30mins.  So, I got to bed a bit late, then he was up at 5 and again at 7.  The hubby had just gotten home at 7, so he went in to get him.  Said he rocked him for a bit and he went back to sleep but wouldn't take his bottle.  I told him cause he'd just had one at 5.  LOL  He slept for about 30mins. and was up for the day.

So, I only got one stretch of about 4hrs. of sleep.  Which is fine, but I do better with just a bit more.  Going to aim to be in bed at 11 tonight.  Which means I need to turn off the pute and be winding down by 10:15.  Maybe 10.  We will see.  But it seems like if I try to go to bed earlier than 11, youngest is up a hundred times.  I really prefer to go to bed around 11, but when hubbs is on nights, I have a hard time with it.  I really am more of a night person but I have to work on a day person's schedule with the kiddos.  I don't know why I'm such a night person.  I somewhat wish I was more like hubby and enjoyed being up in the wee hours of the morning.  But I never have.  I've tried, but it just never sticks.  I can do it for MONTHS and the minute I no longer have to, I fall back into my old patterns.  So, I have to somewhat put myself on a set schedule all of the time.

Back to my point, as a result of lack of sleep, my weight this AM was 194.  I was hoping to see 193 or lower.  But I was afraid I might be up since it was late last night when I went to bed.  I even thought that while crawling into bed.  I wonder if I could take a nap today while youngest is napping and put on a movie for oldest.  I think a quick nap would do me a world of good.  I really don't think I ate horrible yesterday so no reason for my weight to be up.  Although, I did have 3 cookies.  However, totally in my cal. count.  Maybe it was the chicken?  I think I over salted it.  Bleh, I think it's sleep!  LOL  See?  My brain is like mush and I'm rambling.  Cause my cals were good yesterday.  I might have gone over a smidge with dinner, but only by like 60 cals.  Not enough for a gain.  Yup.  I was good yesterday.  Got in lots of fruit and veg and water.  Not to mention, I actually remembered my vitamins!

BTW, have you ever eaten fresh pineapple?  I bought fresh at the store the last time I went and MAN OH MAN is it GOOD.  It's not the first I've had it, but I'm always surprised when people say they've never tried it.  I had some with breakfast yesterday.  Then green beans with potatoes and a small salad at lunch, dinner was fried apples.  So, lots of good stuff.  I think I will do even more veggies today.  I am thinking a big salad for lunch and then either one of my LC's for dinner or just some more chicken or something.  YUM YUM!  I will just have to wait and see what strikes my fancy!

Well, I guess I will bring this to an end and do something with my day.  Probably more laundry.  LOL  Seems there is always laundry... and dishes.  I should probably scrub down the bathroom, too.  At least the tub.  And if I find my mojo, work on at least one project.  Not sure which project, but something.  I'm out chicks -- happy dieting!!!
