Wrecked Sleep Cycle

My body does not know what’s going on. I lost an hour from daylight savings, but it seems to get compounded with interest. I went to bed after 11, which I guess my body thought was after 10. Then, why did I wake up for the day at 3am, which my body thought was 2am. I guess I will crash hard tonight. Maybe this is my body’s way of forcing myself back to normal. I wish all year was daylight savings.


And now a haiku:

Daylight savings time
Totally wrecks sleep cycles
Is it worth the hour?


Find Me a Work Hat

And now a haiku:

Bald head and cold air
Sitting underneath the vent
Find me a work hat


Slow and Steady Win

And now a haiku:

Weight loss can frustrate
All changes make differences
Slow and steady win


Plateaued?

I am about 6 weeks into my weight loss plan. The first 3 weeks, I lost about 2 – 3 pounds a week. I did not think that I would keep up that pace, but I did not expect to have a plateau so soon. I spent the last two weeks bouncing up and down about 2 lbs. I will admit that my motivation lapsed a bit. Super Bowl Sunday and the leftover chips and cookies from my son’s Super Bowl gathering did not help either. I did not even log my food this past weekend and not keeping up with the daily lessons. I know that I did not go too far off track, but it has been frustrating to have the scale not continue to show progress. The Noom app does teach you to deal with lapses, so I know I just need to refocus and keep going and not beat myself about it. I had a good day yesterday and when I got on the scale this morning, I hit a new low. Plateau broken? I am not sure yet. I know that what I am choosing to eat these days is much healthier (and actually satisfying), so I am hopeful that I am back on track.


And now a haiku:

Recently plateaued
Fourteen days with no progress
May have busted through
