Nice thread starter!

My hip is feeling much better! Gonna try an easy run this morning to break it in.

We have a garage sale this weekend so today will be spent sorting through our stuff to debunk a bit. . Also going to get a nice easy swim in as well,

Have a great day everyone!

I slept poorly again last night (was up from 2:25 to sometime after 4:00 before getting back to sleep) so I'm tired again today. I actually took half an Ambien last night hoping that would help me sleep. Slept really solidly from 10:30 to 2:25 but then was wide awake.

Trainer tonight & will likely get in at least a short run on the treadmill. Had thought about running outside this morning before work but considering I was up for a couple of hours in the middle of the night I wanted to let myself sleep as long as possible.

april, hang in there!
val, glad the hip is better.
Laura, I think poor sleep is going around--I've been struggling with it, as has DH. Hope you get caught up on it.


Well, so much for "feeling better". I couldn't even drag myself out of bed this morning--really! couldn't! (poor lil girl was "on her own"). Stuffy as ever, coughing, and the addition of a nasty sinus headache that stayed with me all day until about 10 minutes ago. My only consolation is that I'm not alone. My father-in-law has had it as long as I have, as well as many other friends and friends of friends. Calves are also still sore despite stretching. I'm not sure if still sore from the exercises or from wearing flatter shoes.

Anyway, today is a bust. Once again, didn't even take son to tutor. The thought of getting in and out of busses feeling like this--ugh, no way (also did I mention that it's hot & humid--which leads to the nastiest layer of pollution settling over the city all day. It was smelly & disgusting yesterday and worse today)! Just going to keep focusing on housework and be thankful that I'm no longer having the strange health issues I was having a few weeks ago (*) Also, eating has been really great so far this week (YAY!).

Have a good one!

Terrific thread starter today—spoke right to me.

Valma, glad to hear you are feeling better. Sometimes I use a foam roller on my hip at home. Looks funny, feels great.

Laura, those nights are the worst, IMHO. That happens to me too. And then when I wake up the second time, I feel like I didn’t sleep at all.

Sherry, sorry to hear you’re still under the weather and off the bus. At least your eating is good.

Last night I had an early dinner with my son and my hubs came home around 8 and ate nachos while we watched TV. I wasn’t hungry but come on, they’re nachos…so I took a tip from a MFP pal and painted my nails so that I couldn’t nibble. IT TOTALLY WORKED! I’m very proud of self because it’s easy for me to chow down on junk food even when I’m not hungry. By the time my nails were dry, the nachos were long gone…

So this morning I weighed myself—I’ve been up and down between 179.4 and 183 since May—and the scale read 178. I don’t actually believe it (sometimes I weigh in light as a fluke) but I will if it sticks around. Even if it’s a sneak preview, I was very happy to see it. I have been noticing that my clothes are fitting better.

Trying to prepare for a healthy trip tomorrow. I’ve got apple slices, PB sandwich, and protein bars going with me. AND MY RESOLVE!

I woke up at 4am again, always do on day I work with boss. She is hard to communicate with. She wanted me to work Saturday because she had friends coming. I said yes, then she tells me today they cancelled so I asked if she still wanted me to come...then she thinks I don't want to work, so I say I want to work, she says I will talk to my husband. It feels to me like nothing I say is the right answer. She is driving me crazy! Lol

I went to nia class before work.

I have decided after diet fails and reading a great book about eating only when hungry and no dieting. I am doing this. In my earlier life I was thin. I didn't think about food. I only started thinking about food when I got overweight and started dieting in my 40's. Its all about wanting food when you can't have it, showed studies of gaining more weight from dieting.

I am done....but i am following what it says to eat at table with no distractions. This is very hard as most of us are used to eating without thinking in front of TV, computer, book, etc.
