Took a drive yesterday and went to the Wright Brothers memorial in Kitty Hawk, NC. Kind of a spur of the moment trip but the weather was nice and I needed a break. This next week is going to be pretty busy too, with 2 medical appointments, class, and work. But I’ll just take it one day at a time.

Pfffff... It's only 10:00am and I'm done with today. I've had a nagging headache since Friday and it is wearing me out. It's manageable with ibuprofen, but I wish it would just go the "kitten" away! I did have a few drinks Friday, but I was the DD Saturday and Sunday so even though I feel hungover, I'm not. I slept in yesterday, but didn't sleep well. Last night was another night of poor quality sleep though I went to bed right after the super bowl. Enough whining.
Played in a pool tournament Friday night. Didn't do badly. I'm way out of my league there, but I have fun and I'm getting better. Saturday I taught spin class then went out to breakfast with the hubby. Went to the movies Saturday evening and watched the rerelease of Dune. Was planning to watch Argyle, but got there too late. Sunday I slept in and did laundry, then eventually showered and got ready to go watch the Super bowl and a local wing joint. I expected a crowd, but it was dead. It was actually rather boring, and hubby drank way to much.
Today is work and then I plan on going back to bed. I honestly don't even care if I have dinner. I'm so tired of eating out. Kitchen is coming along nicely though, so it's ok.

Omg so late with posting! Can't believe it's already Monday. Not had the kids for 3 days but they're back now!
Sunday Review
Mon ✅⭐ 15,500 Steps
Tues ✅ 12,500 Steps
Weds 🆗 (Too much food) 22,400 Steps
Thurs ❌ (Too much food) 19,500 Steps
Friday ❌ (Too much food) 7,000 Steps
Sat ❌ 655 Steps (Didn't have my phone)
Sunday ✅ No steps but have been painting all day
So Monday was my best day! Rest of the week didn't go great. A lot of bad choices, but plenty of steps on those days?
This week I NEED to keep my diet on point, the kids are off school for a week so them steps are going to be seriously reduced as majority of them come from the school run!
Either that or I need to get off my butt and exercise but again, the kids are off school, is that just an excuse though? I could just tell them to stay upstairs for 30 mins whilst I flap around the lounge doing some dance-cardio 😂
Also my water intake is slipping back to 1-2 cups a day again. So really need to keep my tip of drinking before snacking in my mind!

Hour commitment - a little change to my plans; I decided to make the cookies my husband loves for Valentines. I can taste while cooking. (I always allow that, but I don't want to feel guilty either.)2

Hour commitment - I won't eat again until tomorrow, but can taste when I cook for my husband. I messed up the cookies and have to start over!2

Today was surprisingly productive at work. I say surprising because I’m still fighting with IBS symptoms and I only got 5 hours of sleep last night.
This class that I’m taking was kind of a struggle tonight. The whole reason I signed up was so I could pursue a career in grant writing but now im not sure that’s the right path for me. Anxiety is riding pretty high today, because I’m so tired of feeling lost and having no idea what my purpose in life is supposed to be.3 -

@Bex953172 is right, school holidays do play havoc with our good intentions! I don't think I was over maintenance calories, but my choices were not the best. Had 2 kids instead of the normal 1 for some of the day. Same again today.
Bex, what's the weather like where you are? Could you get the kids out for a walk or bike ride? My two were taken out on a dog walk (but after they were at mine, so I didn't do the walk, so no exercise for me!)
I'll post for today, but not sure how it will go.

Weather's not so bad! Marley (middle child) hates walking though😂. She likes the walk where we go, she likes the fresh air and getting out but she hates how the walking makes her tired.
We were supposed to go today, I think Ash is going with Saskia still but I need to stay home with Casey because she's poorly and Marley jumped at the chance to stay home with me 😂
