Becoming a Butterfly

I was asked to step up, to help out and work at the camp again this week…I said yes!  Looking forward to hanging out with the kids again, and the counselors that work the camp.  But…as far as hanging out in the heat all day…well…not looking forward to that part.  Was trying to get to sleep early so I could wog before camp, but now it looks like it will have to be after.   I am making a commitment that I will do at least an hour of walking tomorrow before I come home!

I go for my 3 month guinea pig assessment with the research people tomorrow.  This is the month I get paid (a little)…for  my participation in the study.  They will also look at my progress and determine if I need additional help based on whether I met the goals they set for me.  I needed to be 3 more pounds down, and since TOM is visiting early again.  I don’t think I am going to make it.  Which means they will “step up” the amount of support they will give me.   That is the name of the research project I am part of.  Step Up.   Every 3 months they will do a reaccessment and increase their involvement if need be.   I will start getting a call each week from the nutritionist…so that should help!

I have not written down my food…or exercised consistently this week.  This is a pattern for me.  When I know that weigh in is coming…I seem to sabatoge it–or get anxious–choke…I don’t know???   Weird!    But my weight is the same…wavering between 236-238.

Oh well, tomorrow is a new day and a new week…so I can always begin again.  I am really having a hard time getting enough sleep though.  Hubby is up and down all night, the new kitten is also busy…and I am a light sleeper.  Once I am awake, it is hard for me to get back to sleep.  7 am comes way too early for me.  It is so hard to feel like exercising when you are tired…AND I seem to crave carbs when I am sleep deprived.  Ok, after typing all that AND looking at the time.  I realise it is bedtime for me! 

Have a great week!
