Catching Up on Sleep
I got about 11 hours of sleep last night, so I'm starting to catch up on what I lost in the days before I came to see my mom. I did wake up for a bit around 5am, but was back asleep by 6:30am. I also got a nap in, about a half hour. Not much, but just enough to make me feel better. I've been feeling pretty good all day emotionally, it's nice being out of the house and somewhere different. I got to spend some time with my mom last night and a tiny bit this morning, so that was nice too.
My mom's mother in law noticed I had lost weight, which is something that I wanted to hear. I've been working hard on losing weight, and I'm glad to know that it shows. It's hard with Geo, because you don't notice with someone you see every day. He lost 20 pounds and I didn't notice because I see him every day, and the weight loss was slow. I was hoping that my mom's mil would notice, since she's the one that inspired me to lose weight in the first place with that comment she made before, that I had gained weight. Like I said, some people may take that as mean or rude, I took it as a wake-up call. I've been needing to lose weight, and I had gained a bunch in the first couple of months that I had been on disability. Now I have the time to lose weight and exercise, so it's the best time to start getting into the habit.
I'm going to go for my walk soon, so I can get my cardio in for the day. I've already burned all the calories I needed to for the week, but I wanted to make sure I keep it up since I've been eating high calorie foods since I've been on vacation. Yesterday I went over my calories by like 400 calories. It is a lot when the days before I hadn't been eating, so I know that those calories were turned into fat since my body thinks it's starving itself. I just wasn't hungry when I was at home, and now I'm hungry. It might be that there is a full kitchen of food here, and I can eat from a variety of yummy things I like. It's harder at home when I buy food mostly for Geo except for things like my salad. When I have things I like, I eat them fast since I don't get a lot of things I like. I bought a bag of salad right before I left, and I thought I would be able to finish the whole bag (it was a big bag) but I couldn't. It's not going to expire until after I get home, so that's good. I can come home to salad, yay!
My stomach is killing me again... I swear, I like eating different food, but when I do eat it, it gives me problems. I had some steak tonight, with rice, veggies and cheese, and black eyed peas. I had some pot roast for breakfast and lunch, and a banana. It's not like the food I'm eating is bad, it's just different I think. I have to get used to it... but by the time I do that it will be time to go home lol. It's only 7pm, but I'm sure tired. I hope I sleep well again tonight. I sure need it!
