A Better Life

reluctantdaughter

Hey everyone,
I just thought I would pop in here and announce to the whole world that I would love to lose some more weight, but I think my focus is more on a better life style. I have a very busy schedule every day and I need to focus on taking care of myself and my daughter more than losing weight.
I also think I started this thing off wrong. :happy: When I began my initial weight was about 190 pounds, but that was going off of the doctor's scale because mine broke. Needless to say, I bought me a new scale and found out that I weigh 174.0 pounds today! I am not sure if that is a good thing, but I am feeling pretty good that I don't weigh as much as I thought I did. The bad news is that my program has changed because of my drastic change in weight. So, this should be interesting.
My goal is to wake up every morning at 6:00 AM, do my exercises for an hour and then get ready for the day. I remember when I used to do this solid for three weeks, and I felt great. Of course, at the time, I didn't have a job and I could sleep in as long as I wanted to.
Now, with the job I have, I am at work by 9:00, which means I have to be up by 7 just to get my daughter and I ready for the day.
I am also going to try to be in bed by 11:00 PM. This will leave me with 7 hours of sleep. Does anyone know if that is enough sleep? I think I am going to have to do some research on that one.:ohwell:
Anyway, I just thought I would tell one and all about my new attitude and changes.
What do you think?

congrats on your weight loss. im confident you will find what works for you.. as far as sleep goes i always sleep atleast 8-9 hours. i suffer from migranes though and any thing less than 8 causes headaches for me. im not really sur what the average sleep should be. sorry i cant help.
