Wow. I'm Tired

For some reason, I couldn't get to sleep last night. I went to bed around 11. Got back up around 11:45. Got back in bed around 12:30. Got back up around 1. Watched a movie. FINALLY fell asleep around 6, and was up again at 7:15. I just couldn't turn my mind off. Lots of stuff swirling around in there. Now I'm at school, trying my best not to bonk my head on the keyboard in the library as I type this. Gotta be quiet in the library, right? :) I'll survive. Lots of caffeine. Although my chemistry class almost put me over the edge. Man, balancing equations is hot stuff, eh? Please excuse this post if it gets a bit goofy, I'm a bit punchy, going on one hour of sleep.



I did watch "The Holiday" with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. WONDERFUL movie. Really great chick flick. I never expected Jack Black to be a good "love interest", but he's an ok guy. I usually don't like him much at all.



I think I might finally be over the worst part of this cold. Yesterday was terrible. I was coughing and sneezing all over the place. I'm a bit congested today, but feel a bit better. Now if I can take a nap.....hehehe...



So like, I'm in a size 6 pants. That's SO awesome. I haven't been in a size 6 since before I got pregnant with Cora. I'd still love to lose another 10 lbs, and probably will once outdoor archery season begins. Walking to a 70 meter target bale and back 20 times a day will definitely burn some calories. Plus I've started working out a bit more as well. Gotta tone up. I've not been doing anything drastic to lose weight, just watching what I eat. It was amazing how much sugar I was consuming. Shameful, actually. Cokes, sweet tea, coffee...man, it adds up. I never thought I would get used to Splenda, but now that I am, it's not bad at all. Much better than developing diabetes in 10 years, which would have been my fate if I had kept going. I've also lowered my fat intake. I've tried to increase my protein, since I need muscle tone to shoot archery. Not too worried about carbohydrates, as they're needed for energy. I do try to stay away from foods with a high sugar content, but I am definitely not low-carbing it. I have found that chocolate is my weakness, and if chocolate happens to be coupled with peanut butter, it's over. Anyway...I'm excited.



Hmmm...what else can I ramble about? Oh yeah. I want one of these:

Isn't it just the purtiest thing you ever did see? It's a leather quiver ( it hangs off a belt around my waist, and holds arrows). They're too cool. Of course, it's not a necessity at this point, but maybe for Christmas.

Welp, I guess I'd better get this done and get to class. If you've read this far, you rock! Happy Thursday!

Great post and I LOVE the title of your blog lol. I had reached a size 4 after "pushing" a size 16 so I understand how great you feel! Congrats! I have since gone back to a size 6 since I have been a SAHM since Nov '05 - overall not too bad though I guess. At least I didn't go back to double digits lol. Good luck with Archery and I hope you get your quiver (maybe as a treat for losing the weight? lol)
