Ebb and flow.

I am not sleeping enough and I'm not drinking enough water. Today I feel it. I'm actually physically uncomfortable.

I'm already rectifying both of these issues though. I'm actually thirsty today (dehydrated much?) so it's been easy to get more water down— less easy to remember to refill my cup. I only made three cups of coffee today. This way I'm now drinking water all day instead of coffee and also I won't have as much caffeine.

Last night I went to sleep really late and for no good reason forfeited my magnesium. I paid for it with restless sleep and odd dreams that consumed me.

Tonight, no matter what, I will be going to sleep early.

In good news, I tried some clothes on today that I hadn't worn in four years (Wow! I'm stunned to do the math on that and find that it's been that long!) and it was all uncomfortably over-sized. Although I've only been working on being healthy and losing weight consistently for nine months this time around, it's nice to be reminded that the journey has been a lot longer than that. I've made a hell of a lot of progress, despite not always feeling like that from day to day.

eta 9:15pm:
I've had eight 16oz glasses of water today and I'm still thirsty. I guess I really was dehydrated. I'm going to drink another glass and then go to sleep.
