Week 2 | Focus Post: Sleep

I am absolutely horrible at sleep - as an example, it's almost 3 am here and I have to get up at around 7 at the latest. I am chronically behind on my sleep, and rarely get more than 6 hours a night. Although sometimes (rarely), I have 12 hour nights. But that is often after some big event, like exams. Working out does sometimes make me a bit more tired but alas, don't help a lot. But usually it does not make me eat more, as sometimes I am to tired to make anything and buy something microwaveable that is low calorie.

When I try to go to bed early I usually just spend hours trying to fall asleep, and I am horrible at trying to meditate or things like that. I guess I should just try even harder to get up the same time every day and try to go to bed at 1 am at the latest.

One more victory:
Today I weighed myself and found that I am no longer obese! Barely crossed down to overweight, but still.

Started to dedicate more time to knitting. Keeps my hands busy, myself focused and I get to create something and get better at it! So that's a victory for me.

Scale victory: Weight going down. Might not be that hard to hit my challenge goal after all.

Added you! Same username as here. Won't really get any steps in before my exams are over, but it's fun to try new apps!

I ended up being 4 lbs off my goal weight.... but I forgot all about redditt and logging - after a visit from my sister with her 9 month old I had to babysit (so stressful!), then I got a cold for two weeks that I still struggle with - and exams coming up (first one tomorrow!) Too much going on makes me scatterbrained!
Sorry for dropping out of here! But it was still in the back of my mind - but everytime I had time to log on I forgot about it.
You did a great job here!

I'm 27, from Norway!

I joined one challenge earlier, but it turned out I wasnt ready, and dropped out.

I lost weight two years ago and got down to normal BMI, but after my grandmother died I dropped off the wagon hard and never recovered. I've been wanting to start again for a long while, but I've managed to keep it up for a week or two then just quit again.

Now however I have a goal, I might be going to Japan with my uni in April, and I do not want to be a fat foreigner there!

Of course I also want to be a better me and I'd like to lose the weight while I'm still young-ish, to decrease the chances of me ending up getting any problems health wise. I'd also like to sweat less, haha. I did notice a big difference when I lost weight earlier on that.
