Tired and Pressured, but Not Crabby
I woke up late again—7 am. Ed’s alarm went off at 4:45 again and I’m the one who wakes up with it. I get to the point where I am totally awake and have to fall back to sleep. So my sleeping pattern is disrupted. That usually gives me the slows. Now that’s two days in a row. I’m not crabby this morning though.
Yesterday I ended up FORCING myself to 15 minutes on the stationary bike and 15 minutes on the elliptical. I did some crunches and then called it a workout. I was done. Today, I’m cleaning the house before work instead of working out. I’ve had it with pressure. I hate pressure. I have pressure to clean, pressure to work out, pressure to make money, pressure to care for the animals, pressure for this, pressure for that. Everything needs to get done and the second I start spinning it all, I shut down. One day at a time, one thing at a time, responsibilities will be pegged off the list.
So, in the midst of my pressure feelings, I had an idea. I weighed in at 155 this morning. I thought that maybe I should maintain 155 for a while. Now that I write that it sounds ridiculous because I have a good 20 pounds more my body is able to shed. Sigh. For my psychological self—I may choose to maintain for a couple weeks. With that being written, I began freaking out in my head, just now! “Oh my gosh, I don’t know how many calories it takes to maintain this weight—I gain each time I eat a tad more than 1200 calories!” Don’t know if that’s true, but it feels like it. Lol. Anyways…
I pretty much stayed OP yesterday. I chose to eat a bagel instead of bread and jam. Then I didn’t eat snack #2. I ate a truffle after dinner. I was in bed by 7:50 pm and read and played around on my website for 35 minutes and then crashed. I’m tired. I keep yawning. I’m gonna plan today now. 
- B: Malto meal w/ banana and choco soy milk
- S: grapefruit
- L: Buddig mean on Rye
- S: animal crackers
- D: Chicken, wild rice and veggies
- S: Maybe fruit and granola (I’ve been craving chocolate the last couple nights though.)
May God be with me today!

Good morning! May you have a blessed on plan day
Good planning! Hoping your day is stellar
Oh, I hate pressure too. You are right…pressure to do it all, to get it all done and to be productive. Sometimes it is toooo much pressure! LOL :0
Yeh, there’s always so much that needs to be done. It never ends! Hope the pressure eases up and you have a good day.
I hear you on the word “forcing” that you used in your entry today, Tawnya. Lately that’s how it’s been with me. Working out used to be as normal as getting up in the morning and brushing my teeth. Hell.. I used to even ENJOY it but lately it’s just.. blah. The worst is getting ready to work out. Once you’re in it though, you feel awesome. And afterwards you realize it wasn’t that bad. Sigh. Will we ever learn!? =P
I caught up on all of your entries. Canoeing huh!? That sounds ilke such a great time! I’m looking for fun new ways to incorporate exercise. Even miniature golfing lol.. silly, I know but it at least it gets me up and off of my couch!
My cals didn’t even make 1,000 yesterday. I wasn’t sure what it was from but definitely could be from TOM coming today. I’m making up for it today though.. had a hershey bar today at 175 cals =P Woops!
What’s your goal weight anyhow? I wanted to get down to 126 if my body would allow it. I thought it would be cool to say I lost exactly half of my body weight. The closest I’ve ever gotten to that was 17 pounds and even then I felt pretty darn comfortable. Can’t wait to get back to that place again.
Meal plan sounds good (as per usual!). Hope ya have a great day Tawnya! =D
