Day 7 & 8

Well, finished off the first week of Phase 1 and it looks like I lost 5.4 pounds. Not bad! Today (day 8) has been weird - I woke up late and I tried to get my breakfast together before I took Max to school and Angie to dance class. Sadly, I was trying to hard-boil eggs (as opposed to poaching which I knew I shouldn't try while on the fly - especially since I've never done it before), but my eggs cracked and oozed out of the shell. Yuck. So I didn't end up eating until it was lunch time. But hopefully that won't affect me too much.

Mostly today I'm really tired from staying up too late - dumb me. But sometimes I just can't get to sleep early when I feel it's the only time I have to myself. Even just to read blogs, play Bubble Trouble or just think. But of course if I get better sleep, then I feel much better and then I have a more productive and pleasant day. Oy this working on me thing is harder than I thought. And right at the moment we are experiencing a frightening shortage in cash which stresses me out which makes me want to eat and also isn't too good for my bloodsugar. Ah well - I know this, too, shall pass. I'm a worrier at heart - I worry about worry even. I'm trying to take it down a thousand. That's part of my plan, too. Take a tip from Bobby McFerren - "Don't worry, Be Happy" - You 80's folks will know what I'm talking about. We'll see what happens. I wonder if I can link that song to this post. I will figure out how to do it and come back and edit it another time.
