Day 65: Improved

Breakfast: 2 slices turkey bacon, bran muffin, fruit & yogurt smoothie
Snack: shot of Xango, banana
Lunch: 2 fajitas
Snack: 8 Snickers minis (2 servings worth)
Dinner: 1 1/2 Chicken & Bean Enchiladas, green beans
Snack: 8 more Snickers minis, 4 Reese's Pieces Eggs

Exercise: 2.75 miles on the treadmill in 35 minutes, then ab & arm exercises. I shaved 3 minutes off 2.5 miles compared to my time yesterday! I'm feeling good as I run and am able to increase my speed a little more each day. I'm slightly sore all over, but it's a good feeling. Today, I'm especially loving that I was up so early & was able to get so much done.

My afternoon snack was one of necessity. I had been gone all afternoon & came home with a horrid headache. I took some Tylenol & tried to close my eyes for a few minutes, but after a while I felt nauseous. I think my blood sugar was low, so I decided I ought to have some candy. My after dinner snack was not necessary. My day wasn't perfect, but it was an improvement from yesterday.

I have a goal of getting ready for bed at 9pm now so I can get to bed earlier. I need to get 8 hours of sleep. Last night on Biggest Loser, one of the trainers talked about the importance of getting enough sleep while trying to lose weight to keep hormones and your metabolism in balance. Heck, I love sleep (& need it), so I'll try that!
