Good Saturday morning! David and I got up around 2:30am. He couldn’t go back to sleep with his CPAP mask after going to the bathroom and I ate something last night that did not agree with me. This will be a long day.

I heard someone say the words above in a social media post yesterday, and it brought some things into perspective for me. Have I lost as much weight as I would’ve liked so far this year? No. Have I stayed persistent and persevered? Most of the time, yes, and that is what defines me.

I am also taking a page from Ashley’s book and setting a more realistic fitness goal. To complete all of the 2-week challenges this year, I would have to exercise 6 days per week non-stop until the end of the year and I realize that this is not who I am at the moment. Whenever I reschedule a workout, I know that I won’t reach that goal and I feel defeated. My goal is working against me. I’ll set a different fitness goal.

Some good news for me this week: while I was at the doctor’s on Thursday to renew prescriptions, since my obgyn is on leave, she told me that she had received the results of my sleep apnea test, though the sleep clinic has yet to call me. I have light sleep apnea and I don’t meet the threshold to require a CPAP machine. I guess that’s why the clinic hasn’t called me yet, I’m not an urgent case. The results show that I do not get enough deep sleep, so we’ll see what the pulmonologist will have to say about that when they call me and send me the full report.

Ok this has turned into a long post. Time to get this day started. What have you planned for this day and weekend? We don’t have any plans, my guess is we’ll mostly relax and recuperate today from our bad sleep. Tomorrow is another day.

Wishing everyone a great day, Alina a great time away with family, and Heather a great start to her staycation! 🙂
