Learning As I Go: A rambling entry full of sound and fury, signifying nothing

Wednesday afternoon. I'm tired. Not just mentally tired (that's constant at this time of year) but physically tired, too. TCB stayed over last night and - get your minds out of the gutter! - I didn't get much sleep. Seriously, remember my TMI post from last week? Nothing interesting happened last night, I promise, but I only have a Queen sized mattress and TCB is a man who likes to take up space. He has a full size at his place and it's even worse there. I must have space when I sleep and if I get crowded, I can't sleep. He doesn't mean it, but he's always crowding me and then I get the fidgets/restless leg syndrome and it's off to the couch for me. The couch is fine for leisurely naps in the afternoon, but not for the really good sleep that I need when I'm under a lot of pressure at work (and trying to work a new healthy eating plan). One or both of us needs to get a King sized bed. Or two twins. Whatever. Did I mention that I'm really tired?

I guess they call it a plan because it might need to be adjusted. That's definitely how it's working for me. It's all very well to write up what you ought to do or even intend to do, but sometimes life has other plans. Did not walk last night and went out to dinner at Chili's with TCB. On the plus side, I didn't overeat, there wasn't any bingeing, and I got to have dinner with my boyfriend. The walking didn't happen because TCB has my dining room all rearranged so that he can exchange my ugly ceiling fan for a new, pretty one, and that's a sacrifice I can live with. It's only one day and I'll be right back at it tonight because I was totally buzzing to walk last night and couldn't.

I have therapy tonight (do I ever need it or what???) and I'll walk afterwards then have a little snack before bed. After my disorganized eating today - just a little stressed - I'll need the return to routine.
