I had the opportunity to spend a few days out of town this past weekend & being the over-planner that I am, I left my daily cleaning checklists for Hubby & the kiddos. Upon my return, the house was a disaster! My 1st response was to freak out big time, but I was able to take a few quick breaths & ask what they had done while I was gone. They had not left the house, but had spent lots of time together just being goofy. With Hubby working out of state & gone so much, the kids really enjoyed the one-on-one time. So, I let it go & moved ahead with attempting to get the house back in order.
Now, the out of town trip was for my volunteer work with Girl Scouts & I learned a lot for this coming year. I also ate a lot!! After getting home, getting a good nights sleep & then weighing in, I was completely shocked (not sure why, I knew exactly everything I had eaten!). So, I once again, let it go & moved ahead with attempting to do better.
I have found that having a daily checklist for my housework helps me tremendously since I am a list maker by nature. The habit of recording everything I eat is another great help & I am down 13 lbs as of this morning.....yeah me!!
I should be very careful of what I eat today, but it is our anniversary & Hubby wants to go out for breakfast before he has to hit the road to go back to work. His schedule has once again changed & he will be working for 2 weeks & home for 2. Going out for breakfast, for me, means an endless supply of mocha coffee....nomnomnom! So, once again, I will have to let it go & move ahead with my diet plan tomorrow :)
