This is my 11th day in a row of work and I am so very tired.  I did try to get 8 hours of sleep last night and that has helped a bit.  I usually get 6 or 7.  But, my body is tired.  I had 33 hours of overtime this week!  Good for the paycheck, not so great for my body.

I did exercise tho…yay me!  I didn’t want to, but I did it.

Even though I have been working a tremendous amount, I am really pleased that I am staying on track with my eating.  It seems that working long hours usually goes hand in hand with eating a lot of junk food.  And believe me, there was a lot of junk food!  Piles of candy bars, crackers, chips, cookies….all really BAD food.  So, to defend myself I stopped off at Whole Foods and bought some lowfat, no sugar peanut butter cookies, and some lowfat Kashi energy bars.  This did the trick.  In fact I had people asking me, “What are you eating?  That looks good!”

The most encouraging thing to me is that I am really making changes for the long haul.  Even when I am out of my environment I am sticking with my plan.  That makes me just as happy as seeing my number on the scale go down.  Because then I know that when I do finally hit my goal, I will be able to keep it off.  And that ultimately is what my goal is!
