Today I am just so exhausted. My hubby set the alarm for 5:30 and I thought I was awake, but I guess not, because I fell back asleep. Yesterday after I got home I felt exhausted and it was hot, so I assumed it was from going from heat to AC to heat to AC for the majority of the day.
This morning I was too tired to walk. I procrastinated until my hubby left for work, and then gave myself a mini pep talk to go exercise. I put on The Firm, Cardio Sculpt and got about 1/2 way through it (31 minutes, 287 calories). I was just so tired that when the Monkey Boy came in from waking up, I welcomed the break and never finished the video.
I am so tired today and I think I just realized why. The last 2 days with eating have been out of whack. I think yesterday did it for me. It was supposed to be an up day, on the calorie cycling, but it ended up being a down day too... it was just one of those days. I didn't think it would matter but I guess it does, because I just feel really tired (it's amazing how our bodies respond properly to lack of food when you start to live healthier than before).
Anyway I am just going to make sure I eat more today, and make today an up day and get back on track with exercise tomorrow after a good night's sleep.
I can't believe the week is almost over. Make today count! I'll be excited to get outside tomorrow as it's only supposed to be 95 for the high. Today should get up to 107 like the past few days.
UPDATE: Since I changed my background, have any of you had any problems seeing my posts? Please let me know if any problems have popped up since I changed things. I'm trying to do some trouble shooting. Thank you!
I can do this. I am a star.

I have encountered problems. Sometimes, I can't see the post - even if I refresh the page. And now I can't click on any of your sidebar links.
I haven't had any problems seeing your post from home; I have trouble at work but I blame that on firewalls and such. I hope you're eating well----fueling your body! You work SO HARD! You need to be sure you give it enough to keep you going; I'm worried about you being so tired coz it doesn't sound like you. Well, sorry to go all "mommy-mode" on you! I know you're smart and will take care to get some good nutrition today. :)
Nope, no problems. Gorgeous scenery.
I have discovered that I can't work out when it's hot. I worked out the morning when it was 103 outside, but we have no a/c and I just felt sick for awhile that day. I think it's because my body just couldn't cool down.
Working out isn't worth it if I feel awful the rest the day. This week the weather is getting better. We are into the high 70s and low 80s and I am thrilled!
I haven't seen either of those two shows either. I don't watch much prime time t.v. I guess.
I haven't had any issues with your new background...I love that it is "under" your posts...it is just so serene.
I hope you're trusting your gut and taking care of yourself. I'm like Nan and just cant work out when it is hot...it drains me (I must be getting OLD!)
