I ate well today, I think. I did have my large cocoa for breakfast but then for lunch i had a sandwich, two slice of whole wheat breat, two slice of american cheese and 1 slice of salami. And I had a few rolls of sushi, leftovers from my boss. For snacks I had raisins and the special K bars. And for dinner (now this is where I screw up) I only had cereal (cocoa pebbles). I totally meant to have dinner. But it was 10:00PM when I got home from work and church and I just didn't have the energy....

This is Day 2 of watching what I eat.
I think I am doing OK. Right now I am trying to focus on small things.

1. Eat smaller portions
2. Less carbs, but I'm not cutting them out completely.
3. Be more active (walk more)
4. Drink more water

Those all sound very reasonable. I do not want to push myself too hard too fast. I also joined the SELF 2008 challenge which I will be doing with two friends from work. And next week I will start going...

Yesterday I received a letter from my student loans saying that 15% of my paycheck will be garnished. I have not been paying any student loans, at all. I think I paid once and then they were like charging me $1,000 dollars as a minimum payment. I should of followed up but then I got pregnant and I had more important things to worry about.

Truth be told, I'm kind of happy that this is happening. So they take the money from my paycheck and some day, hopefully before I'm 60, I'll...

What is that?

Gone are the days when I could sleep until 11. Don't get me wrong. Aixah is an excellent sleeper. She sleeps all through the night. I'm the one that can't sleep! I've noticed a pattern, I wake up about every hr, every hr and a half. And I usually wake up after a dream. I am wondering if I am just waking up after every REM cycle.
That would be strange and not very good as sleep deprivation is not forgiving on anyone.

I normally take a car service in the mornings as this saves me time, however, today I felt too cheap to pay the $8 dollars. It is about a 15 to 20 minute walk and I would have to wake up earlier to bring in Aixah and make it to work in time. I think I can manage, especially now that the spring is almost here. Once the warmer weather arrives I can pull Aixah out of her car seat and just take her in the stroller. SHe prefers the stroller as she can look out. It will also be a good work-out for...
