Well, not really staying on track, sort of wandering around looking for it, actually.

I decided that I am going to move my daily weigh in from morning to just before dinner. That’s when I need the reality check/motivation. I run out of decision-making energy around 6pm, maybe looking at the number then will help. Recharge my motivation, congratulate myself for a good day…like that.

Ok, just wrapping up my day job and then heading into my homework phase. Going to do the circuit training in between, for a mind break. I hope to get my homework done early enough that I get some sleep tonight.

Fracking insomnia.

No sleep last night. Nada. Running on empty today for sure.

Another gold star day - staying on schedule with the circuit training - every second day. Muscles are sore but not too bad. I like feeling like I worked hard. I tried a latin dance cd…got through the warmup without tripping, then thought I’d better learn the warmup moves before I got into the dance moves.

I made a great pot of beef stew for dinner - meat, potatoes, mushrooms, onion,carrots. That’s it. Oh, garlic and spices. Very nice meal on a cold winter night.

I am going to be early tonight, I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow and I want to get it done early. So, in bed by 11:30 at the latest. I need more sleep.

Ok, second day of circuit training. Very basic stuff but it feels very good. My muscles are a little sore but not screaming. I bought a Wii and I am debating whether to open it or take it back….what if I hate it?

Big gold star for me. Just did 30 minutes of circuit training. It is a start.

Lazy Sunday morning, just the animals and me. Poor Sailorboy is working 12 hour days non-stop on this big project they have in until April. Their whole team is exhausted. I think that it is an industrial accident waiting to happen, the way they are going. And if it does happen he would be the guy to have to lead the investigation!

Dinner party was fun last night, I invented a new sauce for the chicken and it went over really well. However, I didn’t get my homework submitted until 2 hours past the deadline. This is a new course with a new prof and I hope she isn’t too much of a stickler. Policy is that she can refuse to accept it, but I see two other people were even slower than I was so I am hoping she isn’t too strict. This is the first time I have been late in five courses - where it has been my fault. It has happened twice before but due to technical issues with the website.

Today I am going to change my hair colour and go for a walk. It is snowing quite heavily and I think it would be quite pretty down by the river.

I have to get out of this loop - I feel huge and clumsy and none of my clothes fit and I don’t want to be active because I feel huge and clumsy and none of my clothes fit…etc.

This is turning out to not be a good start to the change management plan.

Hot flash or the flu? Not sure, I am getting that horrible full head, slightly dizzy, feverish yet chilled feeling. I really can’t get sick, I have too much to do including hosting a dinner party tomorrow night. How embarrassing to have to cancel. Plus homework for the course I just started plus work for my real job due before 8 am Mon morning. aarrrgh. More vitamins. Now.

Also my teeth ache. Never a good thing.

No more whining. Sleep.
