Feeling tired

Didn't sleep much last night. Woke up with seeing flashing lights on my night table. Got a phone call from neighbor at 6 30 am. I did 2 hours on bike.

Went to bed late last night, like 11:30 pm. I couldn't close my eyes. I kept looking at the clock. 1:00 am still wide awake. Told hubby that I can't sleep and that I need to get that extra comforter I put away yesterday. I didn't put it back after I washed the sheets thinking it was warm enough but at the end of the day, winter was back! huh. I'm forgetting, we are still in winter, duh! Anyways, I found the comforter and asked hubby if he wanted some on his side and he said, "no".. all for me then..!! So I tried to close my eyes again thinking 'now I will be warm and should be able to sleep' but instead I looked at the clock, it's almost 2am. Hubby said, didn't you take Claritin today? I said, "yup, I did earlier today." So now, I can't wonder why I can't sleep. Shortly after 3 am, my eyes got tired and closed. Somehow, I was woken up and seing hubby's head hovering over me and I asked, "what's the matter", he replied, " I was looking at the clock". and I asked "what time is it?" he replied, "the clock is broken". and I said, "oh".. Since he wanted to know what time it is, he got up and got his cellphone. "It's 3:30 am." he uttered, "okay" I said. We went back to sleep. At sometime, he looked up his cellphone, AGAIN, and said, "beng it's 5 am." and I said, "okay!!". I am now feeling irritated since I haven't got any sleep and he kept telling me what time it is. We both went back to sleep until he looked at his cellphone again and said, " it's 6 am beng"..I said, "you want me to get up now?" he said "no".. just thought I'd let you know what time it is. At this time, I can't sleep anymore since I'm thinking I need to get up in 30 minutes. I was thinking 'maybe I can farmville before he get's up'. But I just lay there until 20 after. We both got up and made our bed.

When we got up I said, "the power must been back shortly after six am." Then we proceeded making our bed. Done making the bed, haven't washed our stinky mouths, the phone rang! I then got this anger in me and uttered, "who calls me this early"!!!. Hubby ran to look at the phone and it's the neighbor he said. I let the phone rang, rang, rang then it went to voicemail. I then went to the kitchen to make coffee. After making the coffee, I asked hubby if I need to call the neighbor back and he said, yes, you should let her know that you are awake.

So I redialed and said, good morning neighbor,and she said, " did I wake you up"? I said " no!" she went on to tell me that she wanted to wake me up because she didn't want matthew to get late for school since the power went out that maybe our timer didn't go off. Well, it's nice of her to be thoughtful this way but I had no sleep so therefore I am very cranky!! Thanked her for calling us and hung up the phone.

I was battling if I need to crawl back into bed after I got back from walking Matt to school but endeed up getting on that stationary bike after my breakfast. I punched in for one hour with cardio. After 5 minutes on it, I felt very tired, can't seem to pedal to my regular speed. I kept going anyways until I finished. After that, I reset the timer again on the bike to do one more hour. I struggled the whole 2 hrs. I finished alright but didn't get the miles and calories that I used to have. For an hour workout, I usually get 14 miles on it and 320 calories.. But since my body didn't get enough sleep, I only get 13.5 miles with 266 calories and the other hour was not much of a difference. I was more than happy with it anyways.

Overall, I am learning about my body everyday. I am writing this to remind myself. If I need to be successful in marathon, I need to pay attention as to what I take, day to day basis. Sleep is very important. I must get at least 8 hrs of it to have a productive day. Maybe I need to get to bed by 10 and dream good stuff...
