Went off to bed at 9:30 but woke at 2:00 and that was my lot… 4.5 hours. I tried everything from meditating to listening to ‘relaxing sleep music’. Nothing worked. Finally gave up trying at 6:15 and got up. It was too early to start and I feel awful. I suppose I’ll have to go back and try again later in the day but this is beyond a joke. I have some medication to take (Restavit) but it can’t be taken for too long or your body gets habituated and reduces the effectiveness. This means stopping it for a week or so to give it a chance to work again.
In the meantime, in lighter news… my weight has dropped slightly to 139.90. Not a massive drop but means the next target (130 kilos) is in sight! Makes me a little happier but I’m wondering if this is because I didn’t drink sufficient water yesterday. No matter, at least for today the weight seems to be dropping again! 😀
To explain why 130 kilos is such a big target, I was last at this weight around 4 – 5 years ago before COVID-19 struck and that, plus some extreme emotional turmoil in my life, resulted in stress eating that was compounded by being unable to exercise much during the lockdowns. Once I get past this weight and get into the 120s, I’ll really begin to feel as if I’m actually moving towards where I *want* to be, around the 90 – 100 kilo range. There’s a long way to go and I may never reach it, but I’m trying!! 😀
