Good for you on getting to bed early!!
I should've gone to bed at 9 but stayed up till 11:30. I did get to sleep in till 7:30, so I at least got 8 hours in...but somehow I still don't feel as rested when I get to bed after 10.
Getting enough sleep is a key to keeping my metabolism roaring... I tend to plateau when I'm sleep-deprived which apparently most women (particularly mothers) are. I know for me, I turn into the ogress of the South when I'm physically tired - even if I present a calm exterior it isn't without much restraint inwardly in dealing with my ogre-ly feelings and reactions. I am woman hear me ROAR takes on a whole new meaning.
