I am super stoked !!! I emailed my naturopath the day I posted my last entry, to ask her about my sleep situation and she suggested I try to get to bed by 10-10:30pm and get up at 8am, and if I needed a nap during the day then set my alarm and sleep for 30 min or just lay down for 20 minutes. So, that night I was in bed a few minutes after 10pm and went to sleep probably around 10:15pm. I did wake up at 4AM, then sometime during 5AM… but then slept until Brad woke me up at 7:45am before he left for work. I felt better during the day, but still struggled a LOT w/being tired. Last night, we came back from grocery shopping and I got into bed and was in bed with my eyes closed at 11pm and I also took 1 pill valerian root, plus the other sleep aid my naturopath gave me and a generic aleve for my teeth. I told Brad to wake me up by 9am, but I woke up on my own at 8:37am……. I was so surprised I slept through the whole night and for almost 10 hours. HECK YES. I haven’t felt tired today, just more so dazed, in a good way. I’m gonna continue to do this and get to bed earlier to help my health and such.
Today has been super! Another GORGEOUS day, just like yesterday. We got up this morning then me and Brad entertained Katie for a bit, with her usual activities that I have been doing in the morning with her, but then she threw a hissy fit when we were done because she wants to do that alllllll daaaaaaaay looooooong, so she wouldn’t talk or do anything, so I sent her to her room to lay in her bed and get her fit out then she eventually got up and played with her toys. Later, she ate lunch and went down for a nap. Brad took the car to get the oil changed and went by the store to pick up a few things. I cleaned house and cooked lots of new foods to have on hand!! I had shrimp and veggies for lunch, yum. After Brad got back we took Katie outside for a nice walk and we got the first part of our taxes in the mail, but we have to wait on another one, since he worked for a temp agency for part of last year. Now, Katie’s watching cartoons and I’m gonna study my scriptures.
THEN THEN THEN….. WE ARE GOING TO WATCH THE FRINGE FINALE! I already have seen gifs on Tumblr from the finale and I’ve already cried today lol so I know I will bawl when I actually see it! I don’t want it to end. Well, it already has but yeah haha. I was gonna go to the church meeting tonight, but my friend that I was gonna ride with isn’t going, so I’m not gonna go.
I also got Brad to pick up some Melatonin, so I’m gonna try that. I know I’m on my way to getting my health in line to lose this weight and get super fit. =) Feeling super blessed!
