It’s all up to me

It’s funny how you look so forward to getting away for a while but then you’re so happy to get back home.  We got back last night but basically put things away, had supper, got the kids ready for bed and then collapsed ourselves.

The flooding is unbelievable.  Our community is fine and fortunately we didn’t have any water in our basement.  But when we tried to get to my mom and dad’s on Friday they had closed many of the possible routes that we would take so we had to take a detour that added over 100 miles to our trip. 

I weighed in this morning and somehow dropped 4 pounds, I’m down to 263.  I know it could have been much more but I overslept Friday morning so I didn’t get in a workout and then Friday night we stopped at a seafood buffet (that also had a dessert buffet) and things have just been chaotic since then.  But I’m thrilled with 4 pounds and I can’t wait to keep on going.

For this week I am going to make sure I get in exercise every day M-F and at least 1 day on the weekend.  The weather is finally going to be more summer-like so my son and I are going to the pool tomorrow w/one of his friends and his mom.  I know we have other stuff scheduled for the rest of the week but I honestly can’t remember what we’re doing right now.  For the rest of today I’m going to cut the grass if I can ever get the baby down for a nap and finish doing mounds of laundry and unpacking.  I hate not having the house in order!
