I've been staying up so late the last couple weeks and am getting more and more tired - just dragging through my days. One thing I've noticed is that the more tired I get, the easier it is for me to justify spending money - namely on food - more precisely, on junk food. Barely a week into February and I've probably spent more than 45% of my food budget. Not good.
I really need to focus on getting to bed at a decent hour, so that I can also keep my focus on keeping a healthy budget and diet. And of course, getting to bed at a decent hour would help me be more likely to actually get to the gym for a workout!!
I think my tiredness is also partly why I've let some frustrations with the gym and the *other* company get to me more than they might have normally.
So . . confession time. I stopped at Sonic tonight and got a grilled cheese, onion rings and blast - $7 (including tip). Btw - they remembered not just a straw, but a spoon too! 
Tiredness leads to spending . .

It's because I think food will perk me up, and we all know that nasty sugar cycle.
Going to bed now....

Just try to give yourself a little time to wind down at the end of the day and get your much needed rest.
also- if you do slip up..tomorrow really is a brand new day...

oceansluver - I'm a night owl too. If I had my preference I'd stay up till the wee hours and sleep in till noon or more.
My English Castle - Yep, it is a nasty cycle.
Susan - Thanks, I do try to wind down at night. Just these past few weeks I've talked myself into staying up later and later - not just once in a while, but just about every night.
