I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning. I got out of that habit a long time ago, and I think that was a mistake. Being aware of my weight on a daily basis is better than sticking my head in the sand. I'm going to guess that I'm at about 215 pounds now.
My latest vices have been overeating chocolates and/or donuts and having a cup of caffeinated coffee almost every day. I stop off at Dunkin Donuts and pick up treats to take over to Mom's house for a coffee break, which I have really enjoyed now that she lives closer. The caffeine seems to be interfering with my sleep. I had actually given it up almost completely up until 6 months ago or so. I find myself yawning uncontrollably around 2pm daily and taking a nap before 5pm. Then I lie in bed playing games on my iPhone until 2 or 3am after I finish my nightly work.
I really do want to work on healthier habits, including better sleep. Instead of picking up a donut and coffe, I should take a yogurt or some fruit over to Mom's and drink a cup of green tea instead. I know that would make me feel better.
If I feel better, I know I will also feel more creative. I've been in a drought creatively the past few months. I'm going to be 59 this year, but I have to keep my clientele for at least another 6 or 7 years before I can slow down. Even then, I don't really want to stop working altogether.
