How did you do? 

I understand the not sleeping. It is weird..I am either sleeping too much or not enough. Today was a very stressful day at work. It is amazing, but I am working to try to keep to a low-carb/high protein diet.

When you get detoxed from the bad carbs be sure and come back for the good ones..salad, veggies, fruits..be sure and get those things in cuz they're good for you but I totally get the low carb/high protein..with the pouch they've made inside of us, that usually gets the system working the way it should..Be SURE to get enough water with high protein..high protein is rough on the ol kidneys..and not in giant single doses..all throughout the day. I was reminded about that earlier this week and did a little search on it.. You can wash the electrolytes out of your system by taking in giant amounts of water all at once..so throughout the day, sip sip sip..

You're doing awesome. You got all sorts of protein. Shrimp and fish are excellent sources!

Keep up the good work. See ya.

That's not good to not be sleeping... It really stinks when you can't! You might try limiting your caffiene? Just a thought... Sometimes when I am laying there awake, stressing... I use that time to talk to God and pray. Often times, I will just repeat the Lord's Prayer until I fall asleep. Another thing I will do is take some Tylenol PM. I don't like to do that often, because it makes it harder to wake up in the morning...

breakfast egg casserole (it had turkey sausage, egg, peppers, onions, bread, potatoes and cheese) I didn't eat too much of the bread part, but the rest was delish
1/2 Turkey and cheese sandwich using the sandwhich thin round things...
1 cup cucumber/onion/vinegar salad (I love that stuff)
2 popsicles
2 Servings Pita chips and hummus
1/2 cup cucumber/onion/vinegar salad
2 TBSP Peanuts (roasted, unsalted)
1 4oz tilapia
1/2 cup Cheese tortellini and alfredo sauce
WW Ice Cream Candy Bar

Still working on getting my water down today. I have been a VERY good girl with getting all my vitamins down though! :)

You are so right about the caffeine..I tried that earlier in the week and it didn't seem to have much of a difference but I keep an eye on it. It's just my ol brain and thoughts and wants keeping me awake..I want what I want when I want it and now that I'm trying to be healthy in mind AND body, I'm letting people know my wants rather than playing the victim and keeping quiet..so my brain screams at me from both sides when everything else is quiet..I need to be better at telling it to SHADUP..

ooo. Breakfast casserole..yum. and the cucumber salad..I was doing cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro with zesty italian for a time (when cucumbers were 8 for a buck)..and that is just so refreshing with the weather so hot..

Awesome list..You did great..Keep up the good work. See ya.

Hope the stress settles down and you can sleep. I have to be up early for an emergency management summit tomorrow; I will sleep in on Sunday!I keep the house cool at night to help with sleeping better and you could try a cup of sleepy time tea, I have done that in the past but try to limit fluids before bed so I do not have to wake up to potty.
0800-protein drink
1000-ww english muffin, eggbeater, and 2 thin crispy bacon
1200-apple
1400-deli turkey, rf cheddar, lettuce on a snadwich thin

all my water and such and I had an hour core training class; I am already sore!
I will know by the 22nd if I am for sure going to be laid off and then I have to wait until early September to find out if I will be laid off on round two in October. So far there will not be a round three.
Have a nice weekend everyone!

You just reminded me..I bet I have some of that sleepy time tea around here..I know I have chamomile..that would work good..It's all about stuff centered around my dad's passing back in May..And so I'm supposing and guessing what will happen with his estate and all. I guess it's all catching up with me..

Oh you're right about the fluids. I usually get up at 5 am and knew I had to go to the bathroom then..but this morning I forced myself to stay in bed and nap alittle longer..Finally at 6 am I just HAD to get up..I do drink a lot of water..LOL..

I was where you are back in May when they were looking at the deadline for laying us off for sure..The second deadline has passed..and the good news is no furlough days this year..I may be able to catch up on the credit card for the vet bill..yikes. I hope it's good news for you..I'll be praying for you for those two deadlines..

You did awesome! Keep up the good work and have a really restful Sunday! See ya.
