Weigh in #7

Just weighed in for the first time in a while, and I am 163.2. So I think that's one of my higher weights since I started this blog.  I didn't eat very well today.  There were free donuts at work, so I had 2 of them.  Then I had a Totino's party pizza for lunch - the whole thing, and then when I got home from work, I went to the drive thru at Burger King and had 2 BK stackers and onion rings. Once I finished that, I had some ice cream.  Sadly, I think sometimes food is one of my few joys in life when I don't do much else besides the same routine of get up way too early, drag my butt out of bed, go to work, come home and maybe have an hour to myself before my husband gets home from work, then I make dinner and maybe spend some time online or watching a tv show, and then go to bed. Because my time is so limited, I rarely want to spend any of my evenings exercising. So sadly I know I need to start losing weight again, but I just can't seem to get motivated to eat better and take some of my precious free time and spend it at the gym. It's times like this I wish there was a weight loss pill that worked.

Trying an experiment and weigh in #6

I've heard that sleep is an essential part of losing weight.  There is an article from Psychology Today which says you actually burn more calories sleeping.  I was listening to a radio interview the other day in which a woman lost 7 pounds in 10 weeks just by getting enough sleep. I've gained quite a bit of weight since I started my new job, and I think it's partially to do with cutting back on sleep.  I'm still getting between 7 and 8 hours most nights, but I think I need about 8.5. So I'm going to try to get to bed earlier (since unfortunately I can't sleep in any later because of work) and see if I start losing weight. 

Oh and by the way, the weigh in this week was 160.8.
