What I need sleep?

Tonight I don't want to write this, but I know that if I am going to make this work I have to keep on track. I am still trying to get my thoughts straight on how I got where I am today. I realize today how important rest is to me. I realize how, over all my years, I have taken sleep for granted and even abused it. When I am tired I really don't make the best choices. If you read my last post you know yesterday was a really long day, just short of 22hrs. When I finally did get to bed I crashed. I got up at 7 to take my daughter to school and came back and crashed again.

I had planned on getting up, after my second sleep time, and going to the gym. I was still feeling really tired from yesterday and I just never got myself up an going. I am getting to old for long days like that. I know this was one that couldn't be helped, I am always going to be there for my kids. It did shed a new light on my thoughts about getting enough rest. I realize when I am tired I don't make the best choices. I started out ok but over the day I didn't spend my calories wisely and ran out before I was done with the day. I am not beating myself up about it, but I do know an area that I need to be mindful of.

So today I did go over my calorie count but I know why I did it. I was tired and didn't feel like making the extra planning effort. I didn't feel like going to the store to get anything different. Peanut butter and pizza was good. No not together, don't look at me like that. :D Breakfast had peanut butter. Lunch my son ordered pizza and I had some. And dinner had peanut butter.

Since I have learned this lesson I am making this a short post tonight. I don't just need my beauty sleep I need my gym sleep and my good choice sleep. I can't make good choices if I don't have enough rest now can I? So go on I need my rest :D nite all
