Justified and Sleep Deprived

I love this show!

Tomorrow is my weigh-in, and I really hope it’s a good loss this week.  I worked hard this week, and I even cut back on soda.  I drink Coke like my body needs it to survive, so it’s a huge step for me to reduce that keg of soda per day down to one small bottle.  I thought surely my poor body would go into shock at the introduction of foreign substances like water and unsweet tea, but so far, so good!

My boyfriend has been sick this week with a cough, and it’s been keeping him up at night.  That means it’s also keeping me up.  Add in my addiction to the show “Justified”, which I recently discovered on Amazon and have been staying up late to binge-watch episodes, and let’s just say I am a bit sleep deprived.  It really hit me when I attempted to work out yesterday evening.  I felt sluggish, weak, drained.  I wanted nothing more than to curl up on the floor, let that DVD play itself out, and just go to blissful sleep.

Clearly I need to make some changes to make this whole weight loss effort easier for myself.  I have a long way to go (about 70 pounds), and making myself leap hurdles I put in front of myself is pretty much guaranteeing failure.  I’m going to set myself a bedtime, no matter what is happening on “Justified”!  My poor body needs sleep and rest and recovery.  It’s impossible to work out when I feel like a zombie.

This evening we will be picking up my stepkids for the weekend.  They just started back to school this week, so I’m looking forward to hearing about their first week.

P.S. I still have one more season to go in “Justified”, so if you have already watched the entire show, please don’t let me know what happens!
