Did I meet my goal of 210 by 8/1? Actually- yes I did. But then I/we bought a new mattress. Our old one had a spring that stabbed me in the leg that I wrapped a tube sock around. It made an incredible, embarrassing amount of noise that would make even the deadest lay sound wild. It hindered my sex life with teens living across the hall- not to mention my sleep being horrible. Why did we wait so long? I simply looked up best mattresses of 2022 and there it popped up. Took a sleep quiz for what would be best for myself and hubby. It is like sleeping on a fluffy cloud. Do you ever look back on something and wonder why you waited so long? YES for me- for lifting weights, for quitting smoking, for new mattresses... And so I/we tried it out. Whisper quiet- not a sound. I slept THROUGH the night. I woke with terrible anxiety and beautiful glowing skin. All the tell tale signs of Aunt Flo- for me. What a curse. Want to have a great night's sleep and look radiant? OK- but here's the trade off. And so I ate well without issues and then caved at 8 p.m. & decided on Chinese and ice cream. I was up 7 pounds prior to eating it just from the beginning of the day and 219 before bed last night. Unreal. And so- yes- I feel I met my goal. Been under 210 the last couple days. This will be gone by next week. Goal for September is 203- should be very manageable. Now the question is- will the mattress truly help me sleep when all this is over? I will report back- even if not- at least I won't need an updated tetanus for a rusty spring. And one more thing... My food was delicious. I loved every bite. When people post about how they took a bite of ice cream after months and they no longer like it and it wasn't what they thought- I never feel envious. I think how it sucks to be them. Mine was awesome and well worth it as I know I am capable of getting right back on it. Happy Monday/1st of the month!! Fresh starts all around!
