Non-healthy sleeping habits

The last couple of weeks I have not been sleeping well at night. I find myself laying in bed (thinking, usually) for hours on end. YET, I am so stinkin' tired ALL the time. What is my deal? I feel like it's a vicious cycle that I can't pull myself out of. Any ideas?

(FYI, I have been stressed with a lot of things lately so I know that contributes to it. I lay awake thinking of things I need to do but usually get up and write them down so I can get it out of my mind. I think about my young women and my yw calling a lot too. A lot. Yes, I have also tried getting up and out of bed. Yes, I have also tried reading and such. Yes, I have tried sleeping pills. They usually work but I don't want to depend on them.)

Re-vamp

I made this blog intending just to lose weight. However, now I realize that there is so much more to being healthy than just being "skinny". A truly healthy person is fit physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This will now be my journey getting to a healthier, happier me.

Sometimes I will focus on the emotional aspect as I go through trials there. Other times I will look at the emotional/mental part of my life. And, all the while, I hope to improve my eating habits and look for fun, new ways to lose weight and get in shape!

Having a good day yourself? Having a bad day? Let's break it down to the roots and focus on getting healthy, all around, together!

Favorite Breakfast Right Now

Honestly, very good. DAN even likes it. (Thanks for the recipe, Amber.)

about 1/4 c. vanilla yogurt
handful frozen strawberries
a scoop of chocolate protein powder (I use slim fast)
a few ice cubes
milk (just to the consistency you want)

I like it thick, so I don't use much milk. But really, this is very good. The first sip tastes a little like slim fast, but from then on out---it really tastes like a regular milkshake/smoothie.
