Sadly, my sleep issues continue and I’m a little more frustrated then before as I spent the night in a sleep lab trying out a CPAP mask. It was horrible! Aside from being awkward and uncomfortable, it did nothing to stop me from experiencing my normal sleeplessness and random awakening. The worst part about the whole experience is I am no closer to a sleeping solution then I was before. I guess I will resolve to just get less sleep until someone has another bright idea on how to treat me.The whole sleep issue, aside from the normal bad stuff of fatigue, irritability, etc. is preventing me from getting back on my bike and getting some regular exercise going again.Sounds like an excuse and maybe it is but I am having a hard time convincing myself to remount my bike and start peddling again. I find that odd because I really enjoy riding a great deal and felt like a million dollars after riding each morning last year. At my peak I was doing about 10 miles each morning averaging 16mph which is a good clip. I have been desperately missing my bike since last summer and though this week (being week 3 of Medifast) would be the week I got back in the saddle so to speak and back on the road. Well, so far that hasn’t happened and unless I catch up on some serious sleep.I am trying to be very mindful of my appetite and following the program… I know when I’m extremely tired I have a habit of doing food drive-by’s and snacking uncontrollably. I don’t feel any urges to do so thus far this morning, but being mindful of it before it becomes a problem is probably a good idea. That is the real stinker about bad habits, if you are not constantly mindful of them and the things that trigger them, a bad habit can sucker punch you out of no where. You realize you are doing it only after the damage is done!That’s it for now, hope everyone is having a good day on the program!
