I'm finally getting back on the wagon, but I knew it wouldn't be immediate. I decided to start by getting my eating under control, which I've been doing, but I'm starting to realize that in order to eat right, I have to sleep right. It's the summer, so I have no classes, so I'm so prone to staying up until 4am and waking up at 1pm. That's all fine and dandy, but if I tell myself that my last meal is around 8pm, what am I gonna do for all those hours? You're right, BINGE. Plus, there's something about eating at night that just makes me lose control. During the day I'm so good, and I watch everything that goes through my mouth. But once it's after midnight, it's like a free for all. So, I've decided to nip that in the bud by getting back on a kind of strict sleeping schedule. I want to be IN BED by ten, and sleeping before midnight, and I plan to wake up around 9am. Well, my ultimate goal is 8am. Today I woke up at 10. Though, I couldn't go to sleep last night. I didn't end up closing my eyes til around three, but I forced myself to not sleep until noon.
I realize I'm much more productive when I wake up early in the morning, plus my eating is good cause I can eat my regular meals at the times that I'm supposed to. Plus, it'll be easier to go to sleep without stuffing my face cause I won't be starving by the time I lay down.
Anyhoo, how is everyone else doing? Hope you guys are having a good weekend.
