So yet again, I did not make my 3 AM bedtime. I went to bed closer to 4 AM. The reason behind this is because there are two times a day that I get to speak with someone I very much care about, and that's right before I leave for work in the afternoons, and then when I get home from work in the morning. We end up gabbing and before I know it, my bedtime has slipped past and it's hard to pull myself away from him and the fun conversation we're having.
But I need to get over it. There will be the conversation we'll have tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day. I keep staying up too late and sleeping in too long. I'm fitting in daily exercise, but I'd rather be able to do that while still having some extra time to do chores around the house and other errands that I need to do before school.
So I think instead of readjusting my schedule (there just aren't enough hours in the day to allow me to stay up longer and sleep later) I need to work on will power. I need to learn that doing this for myself, my health and my happiness, will benefit me more in the long-run than talking to him for an extra half hour to an hour every night. Because, to be perfectly honest, a lot of the reason I'm even doing this is for him. I want to look my best when we get to finally spend time together. But I'm mainly doing this for me, because I'm miserable in my current state of non-health and non-happiness.
I did feel a lot... smaller when I woke up this morning. Like perhaps my body was becoming tighter? I'm not sure how to phrase it. I'm sure I haven't lost any weight yet, I just feel less jiggly, if that makes sense. Like everything on my body has a place now, like I'm held together more firmly. The fat felt firm today, if that makes sense, and it was a good feeling. I can't wait for the physical signs to start, like the pants becoming looser, and my face thinning out. I can't wait for the comments, "Wow, Gina, have you been working out? You're losing weight, I can tell!"
I still have a few weeks before those things really start kicking in, but this week has gone so well that I know I can make it to those milestones before I know it! I'm so excited, this is all going so well! I'm very proud of myself for making it to day four without any major hiccups.
