a gain
i put on this week. only 0.3 kg but it's still a gain. mark thinks it's those weeks of eating shit catching up with me. i think maybe it's because i ate all my points every day rather than leaving one or two points as i did before. but, according to my fantastic tanita scale, i have lost 1.9% body fat and put on 1.3 kg muscle since last week. so it's really not that bad.
i went a bit overboard with eating yesterday though. i wanted a pizza and made mark order the large one (half margherita for him, half vegetable supreme for me) because 'everyone cheats on their weigh in day'. however, pizza hut messed up and made the whole pizza vegetable supreme. they made a medium margherita for mark for free while he was waiting. but still, i had a large pizza. so i ate over a half, leaving three slices for today. i am not going to go over points today!
we went to the mineral fair yesterday and it was ok. it wasn't very big, the one i used to go to in slovakia was bigger, but i managed to spend my whole allowance (£100) and bought some really nice stuff. i just need to order some display cases now so i can store them properly. at the moment they're still in bags, wrapped in the kitchen roll.
i was supposed to study when we came home but our room was such a mess that i decided we needed to tidy. so tidy we did and it looks much better now. i threw out shitloads of stuff and managed to create an empty shelf on which i put all my jewellery so i can actually access it now and wear it (i'm notorious for buying stuff and not wearing/using it). yay!
this however means that i have to study a lot harder today. and i will!
i've had this sleeping problem for a few months now, about half a year i think. it doesn't matter what time i go to bed or how tired i am, i lie in bed for an hour or two before i fall asleep. because i have the luxury of waking up whenever i want, it's not a problem. however, if i need to get up early (or earlier) for whatever reason, or if someone calls me while i'm still sleeping, not only i find it very difficult to wake up but it throws me off for the rest of the day. my concentration goes and i'm cranky and generally very zombie like. which is not great when i have lots of studying to do and, to be honest, i would love to wake up at eight like a normal person and study.
so i mentioned the problem to my shrink - he always asks me what my sleep's like anyway - and he suggested we increase the amount of my mood stabiliser evening dosage as it has slight sedative effects. so we did and i'm falling asleep a lot easier. and this morning, i had to get up at half nine (i normally wake up at half ten, eleven), i woke up ok and i'm fine. so i think it's helping and i'm so so glad and i'm hoping i will keep getting up earlier and earlier.
i had physio today (that's why i had to get up early) and claire was squeezing the shit out of me again, i was gasping for air at times. it bloody hurts, but i believe it will help, together with the exercises.
new start of the week and only 5 weeks before i go to slovakia. and i need to lose 2 kilos! i need to kick my ass in gear!
