    Most of us don't get enough sleep. I will put in a 14 hour day today. I do that about 2x per month. My usual night's sleep is 6 hours. Once per week, I allow myself to sleep at least 8 hours. It's wonderful.
    What about you? Are you getting enough sleep?

    I do get plenty of sleep even if it means hitting the hay very early. I suffered a brain injury in my 20's and if I am exhausted my body literally shuts down so as not to cause an accident or burn down the house. I make sure to get at least 8 hours .

    Yesterday the VP asked me to her office. It's like being called to the principles office. Lol ;) I am being sent to the branch for 2 weeks. Not sure what is going on as we had a briefing how we are going to be tight staffed at our location and when my boss said to me well? I said I am going to the branch for 2 weeks starting Monday. I thought her head would explode. All I thought was I can do this if all else fails I can reward myself with diet coke. Lol

    The best thing about retirement is setting your own hours to do whatever. ;) I am a morning person, and after years of getting to my classroom at zero dark-thirty, I still get up very early. With that said, I still tend to go to bed with the chickens, so yes, I am getting plenty of sleep...usually about 8 hours. B)

    I always try to get at least 8 hours of sleep, but it doesn't always happen. I am also a morning person. No matter what time I go to bed, I am always up early. Eight hours is only achievable when I can make it to bed early.

    Exercise? Yes; a 30 minute walk - I think that I overdid it yesterday. My body is exhausted today, so I skipped the gym. Back to it tomorrow.
    Calories? Yes
    Tracking? Yes

    Hope you're walking your dog with your good hand! Hope your pain is minimal and that you're able to get that 8 hours sleep we need.

    Exercise: ripped quads yesterday- little hobbly today, but tomorrow may be worse. Did 30 min Tracy Anderson DVD and cooked in kitchen for hours
    Calories: within that darn limit
    Tracking: yes, but wish I wasn't. I would've had some wine.

    Pass Day #4
    I'm out for this months Winners Circle.

    For years, I did not get enough sleep. I was always grading papers late after I got my family settled. I reduced my workload this year and am averaging 7 hrs a night which is a big improvement from my 6 hrs or less.
