Totally Losing It

…it really slips by! This week has flown by like a roller coaster!! I completely forgot to check in over at the HYC. What?!

My sister and her husband left on Monday morning to MOVE to Houston. I worried about them the whole day. Work has been kind of slow, but when it gets like that my boss gets crazy and starts making stuff up for us to do. Just chaotic around there. That on top of all the work from my second job.

And to top things off, remember me talking about taking photos of a friend who’s getting married? I forgot that tomorrow is their rehearsal dinner - which I’m photographing! The wedding is on Sunday so I think I just had it in my head that the rehearsal was going to be on Saturday. I think my batteries are all charged but I need to check tonight. I also need to lay some clothes out to wear. At least I have that one pair of black pants and one nice top!

As far as my dieting goes, I haven’t’ been as “on it” as I should have been. I did weigh myself on Monday morning and I was at 228. Down .5 from last weigh-in. I’ll take that. Saturday I’m going to get back on that treadmill and start paying attention to my food again! Saturday!

Good luck to all of you - I hope you’ve been doing well and staying positive. Keep it up!!

I had said that I was going to post a photo of that friend who’s getting married… here’s one in front of an old, abandoned gas station:

I promise! Oh, I’m still on track with my diet plan. It’s my weigh-in and everyday schedule that’s throwing me right now. I know the weigh-in for HYC is on Tuesdays but I’m keeping track of my weight for 2 other things and they’re all on different days! I decided to make it easier on myself (i.e. my sanity) and so I’m only going to keep track of my weight on Fridays. I think that’s a good day. If I lose it might help keep me motivated on weekends, which tends to be my most challenging time.

I’m still working on my new design for the site here. It’s slow going as I don’t seem to have much free time. Between my day job and my part-time-job-turning-a-second-full-time-job and needing to fit in a little exercise and a little sleep? I’m exhausted!

I’ll get there. I’m using this as an exercise to teach myself a little patience.

I also just wanted to tell you all that I really appreciate the comments you’ve left and especially the inspiration I get when I read all of your blog posts. This is a hard journey we’re on and having a support system nearby makes it seem a little less scary. So in honor of that, and in honor of all you moms out there, I put together a little bookmark you can download and print out for yourselves. I found the message in a recent Woman’s World magazine and found that I was able to apply it to so many people in my life. Enjoy it and share it!

Yeah! I lost 2.5 pounds! Not a bad way to restart. Now that I have my treadmill and will walk more often that number should keep going down. Maybe a little more quickly? I want to start doing some circuit training either this week or next, at the latest. I need to go pick up some small hand weights and an exercise ball (note to self).

Also, I added a weight tracker to the sidebar. For now it’s just text but I’m looking for a Wordpress plugin that tracks charts, etc. I’ve tried a couple but haven’t really been happy with them. Anyone have any suggestions?

Have a good week!
