I had a hard time sleeping last night. I had caffeine, which I swore off about a year ago. I hadn't prepared well enough for the service for Transfiguration and so I had some Diet Dr. Pepper (about three larges) around 5 p.m.
Sleep is very important to weight loss because good sleep is essential for balanced health. God made us to rest. Trying to get along with just 3-4 hours of sleep weakens the body's natural strength. This results in the body's attempts to build strength through food . . . too much food to compensate for the poor health caused by lack of sleep.
I'm going to bed early tonight. This won't compensate foe the lack of sleep I had last night, but it will make tomorrow a better day.
Today's journal:
Today was a pretty good day!
Weight - 234.8, down 3.2 lbs. from yesterday and the lowest so far
Breakfast - Half a banana, an apple, a string cheese
Dinner - beef barbecue (with most of the sauce cleared off), cooked carrots, small salad with cheese and 1T ranch dressing
Supper - broiled haddock, plain baked potato, salad with cheese and 1T bleu cheese dressing
I have felt very full all day.
Also, I have kept hydrated pretty well.
