Sleep is a mess and other assorted nonsense

For the last 3 weeks my sleep has been completely out of whack. I'm sleeping all day and then I'm up all night. I used to work a night shift job and I loved it. Am I just a night owl? I know that I have to get it under control pretty quick because I have school starting in a few weeks and my classes are mostly in the morning.

I've been trying to figure out why I'm not sleeping well.  I've had insomnia issues in the past, but would really like to stay away from getting back on medication for it. It may be the fact that I'm staying at my dad's again.  I don't really know.

I didn't go to bed until 8 or 9 this morning, so I didn't get up until 3 this afternoon. UGH! So I've decided that I'm going to stay up tonight (kind of a given since I slept so much today) and go to bed early tomorrow evening. I actually tried to do this a couple nights ago but I ended up laying down for a nap around noon the next day, and messed up my sleep for that night again. Its such a vicious cycle.

On a different note: I did not make it down to the track this morning for my walk/jog (I try to go as early as possible before it gets hot). I'm thinking about going later this evening when it cools down, but it may not happen. I did fit in all my ab work today though.

My toolbox today was about food cravings.  It is something that I struggle a lot with (doesn't everyone?).  If I think something sounds good, I eat it. Gee, and I wonder how I managed to gain 50+ pounds in the last couple years? So, I am going to really concentrate on how to not give into them. Being broke helps! It makes me stop and think about the extra money spent on fast food and other junk at the store.  Unfortunately it also stops me from being able to buy some of the healthier things I want as well.  Back when I lived in Florida (and was more than financially stable) we lived next door to an organic market. I could spend hours in there (as well as hundreds of dollars). Oh well, one day I'll be able to afford it again. 

I am tired and I've only been awake for a couple hours. ugh. Oh well, I have a loooong to-do list I can take care of tonight. Guess I should get to it.
