I'm starting to suffer from low-grade sleep deprivation. It's odd, because normally I have no trouble heading to bed and passing out by 10:30. However lately, I seem to be having trouble getting to bed by 11:00, and I'm really starting to feel it. Energy levels are dipping, it's taking me longer to get to sleep, and the last thing I want to do in the morning is get up. And here's the important piece: I actually took a nap yesterday for an hour (and actually slept). I NEVER take naps unless I'm really tired, and even then, I am not guaranteed to sleep. I think some of it has to do with stress; between school, work, daughter, and life, I'm feeling it right now. Some of it also has to do with not getting my daughter to bed before 8:30. I remember the time when she went to bed at 7:00, and homework time came after that. Now, by the time she gets to bed, I'm too tired to do much of anything beyond zombie-ing, and I feel like I still have too much to do before I can climb into my own bed. Sigh. I guess I'm also making excuses again ;) only this time it's on the matter of bedtime rather than nutrition/workouts.

I have another confession to make too: last night daughter and I went to McDonalds. I didn't blow it, but I didn't have a salad either. I had a 10 pc chicken mcnuggets and apple dippers without the caramel. I'm not going to feel guilty; I've been on-track this week. I haven't been following the menu too closely, but everything I've chosen in place has been healthy- except for the choc milk in place of the banana protein shake. :)
