Sleepless in Seattle, no, I mean, League City!

Another night of no sleep.  I have no idea why I can't sleep lately.  Age, hormones, who knows.  I love to sleep, one of my favorite past times.  As a child I think I use to sleep to "escape" living in a dysfunctional household.  Sleep was always a coping mechanism for me.  So why it evades me now is a mystery, perhaps because I don't need to escape?  Maybe all those years of sleeping put my body in overdrive?  It's like I'm wired, I feel like the Energizer bunny!  Thank goodness for Scrabble on my computer, it keeps me company, and hopefully keeps my brain healthy! 

Day 2 of my "decision to ditch this weight" scored another 1.5 lbs.  3 lbs in two days.  It feels good to have a goal and to focus on myself for a change.  My life has always been about my children and family that I rarely focused on myself.  So, I officially declare the rest of this year "Jodi Time"!  I'm going to learn how to say "No" without feeling guilty, and concentrate on myself for a while.  That in itself will be a new experience for me!  They say you're never too old to try new things, .... we'll see! 

Here's a pic I took before my weight loss marathon started...normally I wouldn't share a full body picture, as my stomach area has always been a problem, but I am hoping that by looking at this picture on a daily basis it will motivate me to keep going!
