| I have to write down everything on my mind when I try to go to sleep. It has no become a habit, I hop in bed and then grab my notebook that I keep by my bed and write down anything that is on my mind. That way I know it will be there in the morning and I can deal with it then.

I too couldn't sleep because I would wake up and start thinking about yesterday, today, etc. I tried exercise, stretching, journaling before bed, relaxation tapes, etc. I finally bit the bullet and tried a sleeping pill. Lunesta. It cured my "monkey brain" and gives me a great night. I'm able to pop out of bed at 5AM to get my morning exercise in before work.
It's a trade.
I hate putting drugs in, but it gives me a healthier body in the end.

| Try staying within your calorie range. Also, daytime fatigues is often linked to dehydration. Be sure you are drinking your water.

when I stretch it's almost like I'm meditating. I try to completely clear my mind which I'm usually able to do.
It really does help,especially after a long day of chasing kids lol

| Thanks VTWINVILLAIN. The wine would work for sure, but I'm afraid of wine. It ramps up my appetite and one glass of wine typically leads to more. For now I feel better staying away from it while I'm making this new lifestyle.......permanent!

I would definately try to get the right amount of calories & protein...It also helps me to stretch before I go to sleep.I'm not sure why it helps,but it does.
Keep up the good work with the new you.
YOU WILL get there

Wow am I ever dragging this morning. I'm so tired!
I think I know why. I was 150 calories too low yesterday. Agghhh!
I also had alot of trouble getting to sleep. I drank an herbal Night Night tea in the evening...still couldn't sleep.
Any ideas?
