Football Sunday

And here we are, the game everyone's been waiting for, Pats at the Colts, it's the end of the 3rd, and it is as competitive as I had hoped it would be. I don't know if it was possible for it to be anything else, when you get down to it; two awesome, undefeated teams. I live for this shit! Now, my babies are the Sunday night game tonight, and I've not spared them a second thought, god help me. I might watch some of the game, but I might not. They're doing so dreadfully, that I'm not excited at the thought of watching them. If I didn't have to get up early, it would be a no-brainer, but since I do, I'm not motivated to go without the sleep to watch it and be tired tomorrow. I would tape it to watch tomorrow, but I know J will bring the game up as soon as we start our shift in the morning, since my babies are playing his babies.

All right, I very stupidly downloaded the new version of internet explorer, and it sucks the big one. It is annoying the hell right out of me *kicks it all around the room*

I actually lay awake for a time last night, after having been asleep. Woke up to pee and ended up staying awake thinking about things I had no business thinking about in the middle of the night. I had another short bout of wakefullness before I woke up for the day. I have gotten used to sleeping without trouble, this reminds me that for years I've had terrible issues with sleeping. Things have been so good in that area for such a long time now, that it is really odd to be awake in the middle of the night when I had been sleeping. I hope it doesn't become a problem, but I doubt it will; I've been so tired at night lately, that it's all I can do to journal before bed, I'm so brain-dead. That's the reason I'm going to try from now on to journal and email M earlier in the evening and not waiting till bedtime, as I have been. I'm just not able to do it. I thought the fatigue was a phase, but it seems like it is going to be the norm as I approach bedtime. Bugger me, it's only 6:45pm and I'm already longing for my bed! I guess it is working the extra hours these past few weeks, added on to all the exercise I've been putting in. I don't mind it tho, just means I need to manage my time better.

This is the end of my first week on 35 daily points (my DPs equal my FPs...hee!). Thankfully the reduction in points is this gradual, even so, one does notice the loss of even 1 point! I had a great loss this week; I was motivated to lose as much as I could in order to make my second PC Challenge goal, and I worked hard. I walked a lot, and I avoided flex before the weekend. I also put effort into eating supper sooner before bedtime..that is definitely something I've had problems with.

The PC challenge I was a part of on the WW boards for the past 3 months has ended tonight. It has made such a difference in my weight loss journey; the whole reason I started my exercise regime when and how I did was because I was motivated to get as many points as I could for the challenge. I've been disciplined since the start, but the challenge has been what motivated me to exercise, and to meet the 8 guidelines, which I had never done before the challenge. I definitely believe I am healthier because of this challenge. I'm also very proud of what I've accomplished. I will miss the PC Challenge 3.0, and being a member of Team Atlantic Shrinking Shores (Team A.S.S.)!!!
