Notes to self
Borrowing a page from Roni, here's something I really need to remember:
Quick & easy does not have to equal fast food.
Sure, I went to Subway, and had a ham and turkey sub. But had I gone home after my trip to Wal-Mart, I'm sure I could have whipped up something nearly as fast and equally as tasty. Plus, I'd have saved money.
Ah well. You live and learn. Now let's just hope I don't have to keep re-learning this particular lesson. :D
Speaking of lessons, I need to learn how to stop sleeping through my alarm. I didn't get up until after 11 this morning. Of course, I didn't get to bed until something like 3 a.m., so I guess that's just about the right amount of sleep, the 8 recommended hours ...
But I absolutely hate sleeping past 9. When I sleep so late, I feel like I don't have enough time to get anything done before work. I'd much rather go home after work, get to bed by 1:30 or 2 a.m. and get up by 8 or 9. Then I can have breakfast, get to the gym, work out and run any necessary errands before I have to be at work at 3 p.m. For some reason, getting up at 10 or 11 makes me feel like I don't have time to get to the gym, etc ... even though I probably really still could.

When I sleep in it's usually only till about 630 because the dog will come up and do the riverdance in the bed wanting to go out for a walk...hubby puts her up to it!! When I want to change something I have to come up with a plan...and then go one small step at a time....maybe try to do the same with your schedule...and rewards always keep me motivated...Plan and reward for getting into the habit...that's my life in a nutshell these days.

I use to work the 3-11 shift a long time ago, so i know what you mean. It's hard sometimes. I have no hints on the alarm, I've never heard one. My husband's goes off every morning, never wakes me up. I worked for a call center for years and would just put in a wake up call. the phone ringing makes me wide awake in like 2 seconds. I don't even hear the weather alert radio in our room when it goes off. living in a rural area that's really scary.
As far as eating out, sometimes it's just so much easier. At least it was a good choice. I tracked our expenses and we spent over $300 eating out last month. That's on top of our weekly $150 trips to the grocery store. Sad, but true.

Wow that schedule sounds rough and you are doing great getting up and getting workouts in. I know when I sleep in I feel the same way like there isn't enough time in the day. Sounds like you have a good balance, keep it up.
