I Reached My Goal, 189!

I did not sleep well last night. It's 6:44am, pitch black
and I'm awake (when I don't have to be, mind you). I know
lots of people are up right now. Including my husband and
eldest daughter, but they have to be. I don't. I usually
stay up later than them. So, it's not like I get more
sleep. I just sleep at different times than they do.
Anyway. I'm up, I'm tired and I intend to go back to sleep
as soon as I finish writing. I haven't been getting the
most restful sleep the past week or so. Not all nights are
bad, but I usually don't have a problem sleeping, so this
is foreign to me.

I did get a spot of good news this morning. I REACHED MY
GOAL! 189! My new goal is 175. That's where I want to be
by the end of week 12 of bootcamp. 175 would be 3 pounds
lost a week for the duration of bootcamp, so I don't think
it's terribly unattainable. I've been averaging 3 pounds a
week, so I think I can do it. That would be so great. My
ultimate goal is 150, but slow and steady wins the race.
I'll work at it in baby steps.

Snookums told me he's going to have to work late again
today. It's okay with me that he's working longer hours,
but I'm sure he doesn't feel that way about it. I know
that this is a sign that his presence is becoming more
important to his division and that he's gaining valuable
knowledge that will ultimately help him advance his
career. I think he sees it as working later and longer
than everyone else. But there is a place inside of him
that loves his new-found power. He's always been a yes-man
and a follower. Now he's a leader and people listen when
he speaks. It must make him feel good about himself. He
isn't big on sharing his feelings (not too many men are),
so I can only hypothesize.

I'm going back to my bed now. I feel like I might be able
to sneak in a couple more hours before Kiki wakes up for
breakfast. Thank God I have such a content baby. Ciao.
