Shall We Shrink??

Just got done with a nice little run. It wasn’t as long as it could have been, but I haven’t run for a while. It definitely motivates me to start doing this again EVERYDAY!

I just can’t seem to get 5 minutes to myself lately. AGHH! Anyway, things have been going pretty good. I haven’t been eating the best, but not the worst either. Yesterday was horrid, as usual (damn Friday’s!!), but today I am rebounding. I have got to get control of this junk food entering my house! Other than that, the food is ok. I also haven’t been doing much in the way of exercise, but in my defense I have been on my period and feeling pretty crummy. Yesterday I got stuck at the mall with all three boys and NO stroller thanks to some screwy brakes, so that should count as some exercise! We were there for 4 hours, but we did get a lot accomplished. We got their haircuts, hit the Gap for their school clothes and backpacks, NY&Co for some clearance items for me and the pretzel place. I pretty much abstained there, and I was proud because I was STARVING by that point. The car place assured me it would only be 45 minutes or I would have packed a snack for myself. Oh well, live and learn. So I am proud to say school shopping is officially over, supplies and all. This morning we reorganized the clothes situation and took out two huge boxes full of last years clothes to donate. I wish I knew someone who needed uniform stuff around here; the boys wore navy and khaki slacks and navy and red polos last year to school and that stuff was sooooo expensive! This year they are just wearing jeans and tees (okay, I did make them get some polo’s, much to the dismay of my older son who thinks he is a rock star) so we have no need for all the other stuff. Oh well, the Goodwill will hopefully find someone. After that I gave my car an overhaul and even cleaned the carpets! I think the organization helps with my diet. I feel less stressed when everything is clean and where it belongs. I’m a freak, I know.

So tomorrow I am taking the boys to the zoo alone so the hubbs can have some alone time. I’ll get lots of exercise and we’ll pack a healthy lunch! I am so excited! Today I am going to try to get in a half hour run, at least that is the goal at this moment!

Happy Saturday, chickies!
