Poor guy
I kept my poor husband up all night last night, poor guy. I was apparently having a very active night last night, and I blame that on gardening. I had a feeling it would be a bad night because the jerking around got pretty severe while we were watching TV. I can't begin to tell you how annoying that is.

It seems that any time I stress my self (body or mind) my body or mind pays for it. I gardened yesterday, and I guess that was enough to make me jerk pretty bad all night. I guess that all the jerking also woke me up enough to do some wandering around the bedroom. I was completely unaware of it, of course, which is bad.

Apparently BJ tried to head me off at the pass a few times, by sitting at the stairs; blocking me so I couldn't go downstairs. He didn't want to wake me up unless I started heading down the stairs. Sometimes my wandering around would take a long time, so he laid down in the guest bedroom closest to the stairs hoping he'd hear me if I headed toward the stairs.

I feel so bad for him when I do this, because he really needs his sleep and I'm keeping him from it. I finally was awake enough at 4am where I knew what I was doing, so he let me go downstairs by myself so he could get to sleep.

We decided that tonight, we're going to sleep with the bedroom door closed because it makes a lot of noise when you open it. I'm thinking that maybe we should put a bell or something on the door too. That way, I can wander around the bedroom and bathroom all I want and never wake up BJ unless he hears the bell.

How completely LAME is that? Oh well, I know that it could be a LOT worse, and that's what I keep in mind.

I've had REALLY sore biceps the past two days and now I know why. BJ caught me doing something like push ups, in addition to the 'fake tv watching'. He also caught me laying on my back with my arms straight up in the air, like I was reaching out for something.

I'm just weird. I hope that at the very least, I get some good muscle definition out of this.

Oh hey- I just remembered that it's weigh day. Hang on, I'll be right back....

Alrighty then... I'm down exactly 5 lbs since last Monday, but I lost the first four in the first three days. I'll take it. smile

5lbs in a week is good going.

SJ, I like where you are coming from. Think about it, RG, if you could do all your workouts while asleep! Serious time saver. Are you tired during the day when you've been so active at night or do you feel well rested?

Great job on the weight loss! It's really motivating when you lose a lot the first week, isn't it? smile Keep up the good work!

hugs,
anne

Hey, yeah, working out in your sleep - good plan. Poor BJ though! He's going to have to chain you to the bed soon. Not sure you should be wandering in or near the bathroom though - bathrooms and your head are not friends. I wonder what you were reaching out for.

I hope you had a better night last night--BJ is such a great guy.
