I got out of bed on time this morning. Did the cell phone alarm help? Eh, maybe. Apparently it will snooze itself if you let it go long enough. And even with that alarm going off, I still had to really convince myself to get out of bed. I realized I would not get to workout at work today due to our luncheon, so I couldn't lie to myself that way. And after five minutes of talking to myself and telling myself all the good benefits, the only thought that got me out of bed was this: I am letting sleep ruin my life. I sleep a lot. Just last month I was sleeping between 8-9 hours at night, usually closer to 9, and when I would get home I would take a nap for at least an hour. Seriously, do I need to be sleeping away the majority of my day? I already waste more than a third of it at work, and wasting more than a third of it sleeping means I get very little free time to LIVE. So the thought that got me out of bed this morning was, "You are sleeping way too much." Popped out. Like a toaster.

Scale is down slightly, which is motivating in itself. I ate pretty well yesterday except for a piece of cake and a few pieces of candy. So I'm pretty pleased. It could have been much worse, believe me.

I think I'm done watching TBL for the rest of the season. I don't even care who "wins" at this point. I stopped watching last year when that pissant little teeny bopper butthead and his dad voted off that girl who really NEEDED to still be there. I mean, playing the game like that is crap, voting off someone who could die tomorrow because they are so overweight, just to play a game. Asses. So after that disappointment last night, I think I'm done until next year.

Bought some low calorie bread last night. I didn't want to ever buy low calorie bread because I read that it wasn't as good for you, with the whole wheat thing, but I just can't justify eating between 200 and 400 calories of BREAD a day. I can get my whole wheat elsewhere. And besides, I get enough of the benefits of whole wheat through other things, so I'm giving up. Today I get 80 calories of bread for breakfast, and I can actually use bread for sandwiches. Yum.

Really looking forward to grocery shopping this week. I'm gonna buy spinach and a pomegranate. Yumm to both. Plus I will have more ingredients to play with, which is always fun. Spending a good portion of this afternoon planning, I think.

Luncheon today will go great. I'm going to have some of the turkey burger soup, a small sandwich and a green salad. No desert. If I get a sweets craving, I have a 100-calorie pack of cookies in my drawer. Unless they have cookies there because they are about 100 calories anyway so I might as well have the good one.

I had more to write, but I've forgotten it already, so........

FIN.
