Anxiety....

I had taken a sleeping pill but still couldn't fall asleep.....Not sure if the tea actually *did* anything or if it was a placebo effect....but if I can't fall asleep - there's no reason for me to just lay there thinking about not sleeping cuz it will just increase the anxiety....

it's def in your head too....if you think it's helping...it puts your mind at ease!

Hmmm I know that feeling all too well... can be falling asleep sitting here, yet as soon as I lay down feel almost wide awake

Glad you got that 6 hours in

Urgggg, I use to lay there ALL NIGHT and not sleep. Seriously 1 or 2 hours, all broken up of course. It was awful. I feel ya', Jen. Hope it subsides soon.

Waking Temp: N/A
Weight: N/A

**Feeling a bit sore all over & beat.....pretty tired & almost feel over-trained......The plan is to play golf this afternoon @ 5:00pm, so no gym today....Forearm isn't feeling too bad - think I might stick with doing arms @ home with the bands & 15lb DBs for a couple of weeks to let it be....

8:45am
Iced Coffee
1 Deep Chocolate Vitamuffin

**Went shopping (yes again!)......had to return things to Target yesterday, so erm, went to Sports Authority... WTF happened to selling sports bras?? All they sell now (everywhere!) are the ones you pull over your head & I can't wear them - not enough support....*sigh* So I bought other stuff....

11:30am
2 Glucorell

12:00pm
Quizno's Beef Brisket Sub (regular size)
Small handful of Jalapeno chips

I have under-wire sports bras.....Usually able to find them everywhere, but lately - NO-where.....so I need a different source or be willing to spend $$$ for them online.....

CK et al - Golf was fun, tho I am PISSED I lost 2 out of 3 PINK golf balls.....can't believe it!! Hmpf!! You just cannot see the darned things.....



On a lighter note or whatever - that job I interviewed for twice & whom needed all the references - well I GOT THE JOB!!!!! They offered it to me today & for more money than originally offered + FREE parking (it's pay to park in downtown here - like $1K + per year so that's big) + it includes a FREE family gym membership!! WHOOOO!!!

I'm nervous cuz I haven't worked in 2 years cuz of my layoff, etc, but they seem nice, casual, et al.........One benefit I see for myself that competition taught me is I can eat cold food - I don't want to start off somewhere new eating "weird things" & heating them up, smelling up the office, etc..... @ the weird things I think of....

So today/tonite was a celebration with eating, drinking, etc.....OMG I'm so nervous, excited & from golf my feet/knees hurt....I'm just a bundle of energy!! I need a Xanax!!
