Although I decided that I am not going to post my weight and what I want to weigh and how much I lose every week, I weighed myself early this week to make sure I am on track and I have one 1 pound! hah. That is basically me just walking daily 4-5 miles because I want to start off SLOW that way I won't get burnt out. So this week I have been walking at a 3.0 incline and at a 3.5 pace. Next week I will bump it up to a 3.7 mile pace. Then the following week a 4.0 pace. Then I will bump it up to 4.5, then 5.0, then at 5.5 (what I normally start up as I will stick to that for a month. Then weekly bump it up .2 or something like that. That should keep me busy, then I'll figure what else later on. I haven't really started on the dieting because I haven't decided what to do yet. I don't want to completely take out certain foods that I eventually will come back to!
But the number one thing I have learned with this bodybugg thing is that I get NO sleep. Last night, attempted sleep: 9:36 , actual sleep: 5:25.....Seriously?! I just want a good 8 hours of continuous sleep!! Is that really too much to ask for?!?! I don't think so, while Andrew gets more than enough sleep.
So a week or two ago I wanted to figure out why I'm not getting enough sleep and I have self diagnosed myself with restless leg syndrome. Let me tell you why...I fidget like nothing else. I cannot keep still and I try really hard. I notice other people not having to move around like I do, but I cannot help it! I have tried. When I am trying to go to sleep Andrew laughs at me because I twitch and fidget and cannot stay still. The information that I found about restless leg syndrome says that people with this feel a tingle or a tickle or an itch and the only way to feel relief is to move or scratch or something to that effect. That is definitely what I feel!! They also can get TERRIBLE sleep because of it! Can you believe that I have been going through my whole life with terrible sleep and just now figuring this out!?! Well I would have ran to the doctor, but Andrew and I still have no health insurance which I think is the biggest mistake, but Andrew feels like we don't need it! Well now I do, because I need to get this fixed because I think they can help me! Okay sorry I went off on a tangent, but I cannot help it. I just want to feel well rested because I usually only get 6 hours and one time since Christmas I got 7 hours and 30 minutes but I was laying down for over 10!!
Maybe I will write about something more exciting, but please comment and tell me if any of you feel the same way?! I know people read this thing from my site stalker thingy!! So comment!!

You could also have sleep apnea... my doctor told me that everyone thinks only overweight people can get this, but it can occur in anyone and there are a lot of women your age who have it and it goes undiagnosed.
man that sucks! well I hope you get it figured out! Tyson and I don't have health insurance either and I agree that it's a bad idea! you and I both gotta get it soon! it just sucks to pay for
When I was pregnant I had restless leg a lot too. My doctor told me that a lot of times extra iron and potassium will help. So I started taking an iron supplement and it actually worked. Maybe it will for you too.
