busy, busy, busy
I wish I knew how to relax. My husband always tells me to “just sit down” but it absolutely drives me crazy. Part of the reason is that I spend a good part of my day feeding and/or holding our disabled son so when I have a chance to accomplish something I feel like I can’t let it pass by. And now that summer is nearly over and I will be returning to school I see my To Do list and want to cross things off. We have been in the midst of an ambitious remodel and it’s now crunch time. For the most part I need to have all of my part completed this week because I would like to have a few days before the school year starts where I can just relax like he says.
That being said today was a pretty good day. I weighed myself this morning and I am down 9.5 pounds since last Monday. I know this rate won’t continue but I love it at the beginning. I chose to sleep in this morning (it was rainy here, perfect sleeping weather) but while I was waiting for a coat of paint to dry I got in 45 minutes on the treadmill. Also, my hubby experimented and came up with a great low-carb meal. He usually is the cook anyway so he wrapped some chicken breasts in bacon and used some great spices. It was fantastic and he was pretty proud of himself.
Tomorrow the kids will go to the sitter and we’ll get some more painting done. My husband is also restaining cabinets and replacing the countertops in both of our bathrooms. Beyond improving our home and getting something done, I love these busy days because I don’t think about food. I often think if every day could be like that I would be thin in no time. But alas, reality likes to check in every once in a while.
