Wanted to weigh again this morning, because yesterday I was at 308lbs (up a pound). But, I'm taking my health coach's advice and not weighing in for a week (or two), so that I don't get caught up in these fluctuations.
So far this morning, the things I've accomplished:
1. avoided sausage gravy and biscuits despite feeling hungry this morning - I had 10 almonds and reassured myself that if I do feel hungry before lunch, there are food options available that *I* chose
2. Declined an offer to have a cookie. Why is it so much easier to "just go ahead and have one" when someone else suggests it? Well, ain't happening today!
3. Almost decided that I was just really hungry this morning so today will be my "cheat day" and then I really thought it over in light of what I want to accomplish for the long run.
I'm hoping lunch helps fill me up. I'll have to be very mindful. I'm walking through landmines when I'm this hungry.
And I realized WHY I'm this hungry. Was SO tired this morning that I was falling asleep as I was walking. Yup... walking, and closed my eyes for a few seconds and kept walking with my eyes closed, barely resisting the urge just to Zzzzz... Had one of those mornings that I was afraid my legs just weren't going to support me.
I dreamed last night... woke up at 1am and I believe I went to the restroom. I may have woken again around 3:45, but I'm not sure. I had a difficult time getting out of bed -- hit snooze until 5:15am. My limbs have that "heavy" feeling of fatigue.
I feel like the sleep doctor needs to listen to me. She said it's not related to my sleep apnea. Whatever it is, I asked a co-worker if she ever felt so tired that she would doze off while walking... and she said no. I think this is true for most people. Well, I'm having my thyroid and cortisol bloodwork done tomorrow AM. I'm almost hoping something turns up so that I have a direction to go in rather than battling the sleep doctor.
Fatigue is really a bad thing for me to deal with, because it impacts my appetite, and can undo all the mindful work I've done to try to lose weight.
It IS Friday, but it's a short work week, and I can't think of anything in particular which could explain this level of fatigue.
