Three ... (Two ... One ...)

Oh the excitement!  Three more shifts!  I (mostly) can't wait.  But based on my dreams, my ego is still taking a hit at being an "off" nurse right now (or "off" in 3 shifts).  That said, I slept so well last night (even with crazy dreams) - woke up minutes before my alarm - perfect.

I think what I'm most nervous about not working is being bored.  Bored = boredom eating = pants don't fit.  Last night I went to bed really early since I'm working today.  Today I will go to be early because I've gotten up so early.  No eating problems either night.  I get this reprieve at least 4 nights a week.  Soon I can stay up later (and should stay up later - who goes to bed at 7pm just because?!?!).  Nights are hard.

Time to stay focused.  Except all of a sudden I have these cravings ... and in a couple of weeks will host a happy-hour party ... let the okay-to-drink start again.  I worry it's a slippery slope.

My goal is very specific - STOP YO-YOing!!  I know I can always "get back" to here, but it's usually not until I go through a weight gain, mental boxing, etc.  Not good mentally, not good physically.

I know the choice is mine.  I want to be strong enough, smart enough, focused enough to do this - I know I CAN, but I don't know I WILL??  Sounds crazy - like I'm two people - but sometime I think there is a little crazy brain that takes over!

Food for thought.  Now off for a run.
