Weight of the World
So good news!  I think I've made my one for the week, inspite of last week's Super Bowl Party (go Colts!).  HUZZAH! 

I've also instituted an exercise plan in which I'm trying to do an hour of walking 5 days a week.  Last night, I went three and a half miles.  Unfortunately, I woke up this morning with a major stiff neck, which won't be diverted by tylenol, advil, aspirin, or aleve.  I swear it's from my two backpacks - yes, TWO backpacks.  I can't actually fit all my books into one backpack.  Actually, I can't even fit all my books into the two backpacks, either, but I've reached the limits of what I can carry.  Ben and I are trying to work out strategies for our shared classes where we take only one set of books home and leave one at school, and I've tried to find various statutes and such online to cut back on some of my statutory supplements, but it's still a lot.  I haven't had a chance to weigh them yet, but I'm guessing it's over 40 lbs.  UGG!!!!

In other news, I've recently been diagnosed with a somewhat rare sleep disorder, severely delayed sleep phase syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome.  Apparently, it's more common with kids and rarer in adults.  My doctor prescribed some meds for it, but he and I have to wrangle with the insurance company first to get them to pay for it.  I've been taking Ambien, which is great in that it knocks me out so that I can sleep, but it doesn't correct the problem like this new stuff is supposed to.  My doctor also said that I have really poor quality sleep (58% efficiency).  I'm really, REALLY excited about starting the treatment!  Hopefully, it will make a big difference.  I'll let you know!  And if anyone is having good success with the weight stuff, let me know!  Gotta stay on target...
