So true one day!

Last day here in Texas, went to Texmex place with daughter last night, i was only person in large restaurant that didn't get buffet and ordered taco salad. I felt bad for all the people there that looked 300-500 lbs. i thought they must have given up, i know i feel that way a lot.

Off to go for my walk.

I'm back! It has been crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy! Basically, this weekend, my brother and sister in laws flew in and we had a big graduation party for my hubby Saturday morning, then went to his commencement, then got the house ready for middle one's party, went to church, had the birthday party for middle one, then had a potluck at church, then took brother in law to airport the next morning, went out to lunch with sister in law and had a good talk about her marriage, took her to the airport, and then spent the rest of the time cleaning and trying to get the house back into order.
My house is finally clean, I even finally organized kids toys. I have no idea what I ate the past four days and at this point I don't care. Just gonna dust my hands off and move on. I have my personal trainer today, but haven't worked out in four days either. But I figure my hubby has been in school since we met, and finally has graduated. That doesn't happen every day so I'm allowed a pass for the craziness. But he is done with school! He has to work every day for eight days in a row. It's how he managed to get the weekend off without using vacation time. Plus side, I get a lot more done without him. Downside, we all miss him and the kids start acting out when they don't see him. And with his schedule, he basically saw them Sunday night and literally won't see them at all until Saturday morning. Which he has worship practice and then work, and Sunday he has church and work. So no real quality time between him and the kiddos until next Tuesday. I plan to have a few fun excursions and activities to help, painting pumpkins and going to the zoo at some point.
In other news, it's super duper nice out now. Had triple digits until the end of last week and now the temps are dropping! We actually had hail here in the desert two days so far this weekend! Hoping to get grocery shopping done and caught up today and prep for life group tonight. Tomorrow catch up on all my church stuff that I fell behind on, and Friday I want to catch up on all the bills, paperwork and filing.
then I'll really be sitting in a good place to maintain a normal routine now that hubby can actually help more and such. Also, time to start logging again now the the stressful insanity is done!
I read all your posts so I'm caught up with all of you for the most part! I missed the daily interactions with you and I'm excited to be back!

I feel calm today, much calmer than the past weeks. (And, no that's not from mommy's little helper). Maybe just because I stopped the bleeding... I looked back at what I was eating last year while slowly-but-surely losing and it certainly wasn't perfect. Lots of produce and even sweets here and there.

So here I am, guzzling water and actually using the MFP tools. Trying to figure out some work "uniforms" since what I have that fits is a pretty small selection. Also considering doing a big shop this weekend (Safeway gives 10% off entire basket if you get a flu shot there) and prepping freezer meals and crockpot prep, maybe next weekend.

Looking forward focusing on actions (drinking water, eating veggies, moving booty) rather than outcomes.

I'm a mess. Posted in yesterday's thread for today.

Cut and paste.

Okay Laura, you're spying on some of us! Lol! I have often had that negative mindset that would say, "I ate too much today, guess I'll try again next week/month/year." And usually I did try again...after giving up long enough that I had no pants that fit any more.

Well sorry for disappearing and being so short here lately. I'm still trying to get to the point of knowing what day it is. The 6am to 9pm days of the photoshoot destroyed all of us, especially lil girl who was just a "drag along" for those last two days. Thank goodness she took a short nap each day, at least...especially at the time that I was most needed by my son on the set. Anyway, back to school for son today but lil girl stayed home to rest and bathe, etc. Skipped tutor and sons taekwondo. We took a walk after school for gelato and I took a nap after that. Got a little laundry and kitchen done, plus half stocked the fridge again (it was so bad I had to get sons lunch from a cafe on the way to school this morning...but how could I shop with long days like that?).

One thing that happened these days was that my son had the exact leg pain that I have! I massaged it out like I do on myself..lbut I'm starting to think we have something specific (he is physically just like me, from hair to build). Now t figure out what to do about it.

Gonna regroup and come up with a new plan. Stay tuned!
