Still tried?

Tuesday, June 19, 2007

So I was in bed by 8pm with a book- asleep by 9pm. My alarm went off at 4am and I couldn't get up. I slept until 6am and woke up grogy and feeling tired. I have been awake now for 3.5hrs and am still feeling tired. I have been trying to kick the coffee but needed an espresso. My mind feels foggy and I just feel tired. I know that if I exercise it would help- but find it hard to squeez it in any other time then in the morning. I get off work early today 430pm and plan to go home and work-out and be in bed early. Then maybe I will be up for a workout tomorrow morning. Something is up and I don't like feeling like this~!

I do know I always feel tired when I go to exercise no matter what and I am always dragging my behind, but the good thing is that somehow I get energy after from doing them, go figure eh! take care.

Sleep and Exercise

Monday, June 18, 2007

So I have decided that the only way to ensure success in this incredibly difficult journey is to dedicate time to sleep and exercise. Really there is not excuse for me not to get 7-8 hours of sleep nightly. There is no excuse for me not to exercise for 45 minutes a day. I need to stop and take control- for my own healths sake! I know my memory issues are due to this... I know my weight issues are due to this.... now I just need to take control.

Memory Issue's

Friday, June 15, 2007

So I have been so forgetful lately! I can't remember anything. It seriously scares me sometimes. For example last night on my way home from scrapbooking I took the freeway home... and completely skipped my exit- it was'nt until I was in a completely different county that I realized that I skipped it. I don't know what my deal is. It is kindof scarey. So I figured it is because of lack of sleep and skipped my exercise last night to sleep. I slept in late this morning and am feeling a little better.... I still feel a little foggy though... I really don't know what is going on with me.

Hi Dan, you know they do say that north america is a sleep deprived country, I think like you said, you are simply just bagged! but like dayzey suggested if it seems to get worse, do go see a doctor, but in all honesty I think you just need some sleep or work less hours....my god girl, especially if you are in control of your schedule, perhaps you should start thinking of you, or perhaps is there a subconscious thing going on? "if I work, I dont have too work out, and therefore I will not lose wieght, and on and on and on", you know, the whole pyscho babble crap that we all put ourselves thru... either way, I hope you get your rest, and as for me, I am off the "exercise everyday" bandwagon, I simply disappointment myself when I dont do it everyday and so made a more realistic goal, and that is every second day.....LORD help me! help me! to stay on the wagon....Take care....Hugs....

Been there...done that...and i know how scary it cam be. Do u check blood sugar? They say when it is low that u can get forgetful. Hasn't really been my problem...but it is a suggestion. I think mine is medication and too much on my mind worrying about things I have no control over. And i guess age is in there somewhere. See ur doctor if it keeps up.

SHARING MY PROGRAM

Thursday, June 14, 2007

So I just decided... maybe sharing my food tracking and exercise program will make me think twice about what I do- do and what I don't- do. For those interested in giving me grief for my slip ups.... PLEASE feel free!
I OBVIOUSLY NEED A BUTT KICKING!

  

Exercise and Life

Thursday, June 14, 2007

So I didn't get my exercise in this morning. I have to stop working so late so that I can get into bed at a decent time. When my alarm clock went off at 4am I just couldn't get out of bed. So I pushed snooze until 530am then got up and ready for work. I have to stop doing that. I remember when I first moved out on my own at 19 I was so excited to be an "adult". I was up every morning at 4am (no snooze)- off to the gym- then strait to work- then home to make dinner and clean house. I was is such great shape then... WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? I got lazy... lazy... lazy. My house is a mess at the moment.... I push snooze at least 3 times each morning... I continually skip my exercise... I don't really cook anymore- WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I am only 26- I should not be this tired all of the time! There really is no excuse. I don't have to work so much- really, my job doesn't typically assign me a schedule- I write my own. So why can't I get back into the flow of things? I have to get my life together because right now I feel like I am living in complete chaos! I am so forgetful and I hate it! I feel completely unbalanced and just "off". I am sick and tired of it! I have to take control of this situation... it is really getting out of control~!

I am really glad to hear u r trying to get control on ur life now!!! Mine was such a mess for so long and I gave up dor so many years. But the last 3 I have finally been putting things back together. Don't think u have to do it all at once. The first thing i did was start liking myself...okay, so i weighed WAY too much. But inside was a very good person. I got back to taking care of ME! I have had a big set back, but I am determined to get going again. It is still a slow start for me, but I figure if I just keep telling myself, someday the actions will follow. I HAVE made it out for walks. I HAVE reduced the # of calories I eat. I HAVE given up regular sodas. I try to remind myself of all the things I am doing good at, and hopefully someday soon the list will grow. Replace on habit at a time until it becomes a habit. Then move on. U can do it. There is no presto button to push. Give urself some time to reorganize urself. Report Inappropriate Comment
