I've lost six pounds!!!! Woo Hoo! And I didn't take my blood pressure medicine last night, not so good but I ran out and didn't realize it. The medicine usually cleans me out of fluids by morning so I figure I was holding on to a little when I weighed in this morning. I lost another 3 pounds so I am at a total of 6 with my first two weeks on sparkpeople!!!!!
I am working on some rewards for weight loss. I started mapping them out with 10 lbs and then every five pounds there after to keep me motivated in this journey. It is hard to pinpoint what I really would want to work for being that I could just go out and get it if I wanted it bad enough. So the question is, what would I want to work hard enough for that I would never buy even though I wanted it? And when I randomly pop up answers to those questions I figure out what my rewards will be. I've decided that when I reach my goal I will plan a trip to a beach location of my choice for at least one week.
I am working on breaking myself in to my sleep challenges and am on week two. This week stresses a bed time routine and I am pushing for 8 hours of sleep. Tonight I don't feel so rushed about it or I may be purely exhausted from this mornings workout, but I'm on track (knock on wood).
I've noticed that I am getting to work a bit later than I should as I am falling into the routine of working out in the morning. My workout time is running over an hour from getting up to finishing and this sets me back on my shower and dressing time for work. My son is also starting to rise a bit earlier and catches me in the last 10-15 minutes of my workout. I get a bit irritated about that because it is my quiet time in the morning and I want to finish in that same mindset, not with him screaming my name from his room. I am contemplating waking up a bit earlier to get started, but that puts me in bed even earlier which might be a problem for me. I will concentrate on one thing at a time for now.
