Okay girls (and whatever guys are out there lurking), this is going to be a short and sweet post; I'm exhausted. I'll be peppy tomorrow.
We went to the pool, and I met all my goals from yesterday. I swam two consecutive laps, with no breaks in between. I did three more after that, and I kept my breaks to five minutes or less, which is a vast improvement over 5-10 (more like ten) minute breaks.
I also ran errands to Wal-Mart today, which I totally count as a separate workout, since with two kids I always come home wiped out.
Okay, that's it for today, and again sorry so short. Another problem I have is insomnia, and this week has been a doozy for me. Any tips on beating insomnia? There must be something out there I haven't tried. I have both kinds; trouble falling asleep, and trouble staying asleep, although the latter is due to nightmares, so there's not much you can do about those. Anyway, here's a big fat welcome to Trisha, who joined our ranks today! And good work to everyone else who posted today. Keep it up guys! We'll be SVELTE in no time!

I read my scriptures right before I go to sleep (I keep them by my bed). Or I read the Ensign. This has kept away my nightmares for 15 years.
If I'm sure I might have insomnia, I take 1/2 a unisom tablet. The half dose lets me get to sleep without waking up groggy. I do this 1-2 times a week.
Oh girl! I've struggles with insomnia for years and years.
I've been on every prescription you can think of... Ambien, Sonata, etc...
On my mission a doctor suggested that I take 2.0 Melatonin, 650 mg Calcium, and 200 mg Magnesium about an hour before bed. It took about a month but it really worked. Of course it helps that I wear myself out during the day but you seem to have that part covered! :)
well, i could definitly use the calcium, since i'm somewhat lactose intolerant, and i don't get much dairy. can you get the melatonin over the counter, or do you have to have a prescription? and i've done the scripture stuff before bed too, and it helps sometimes, but it also keeps me up. pondering....so i dunno. it's kind of a trade off. thanks for the tips guys!
