Did you know that Tuesday is the most productive day of the week? Yup. I think since it is Tuesday, today is the perfect day to recommit myself to my weight loss goals. I have weigh in today with WW. We were off last Tuesday which for some reason was inspiring last week, but shot down the gutter this week. I was doing outstanding this time last week, but things change. I had minor surgery on Friday. No more babies for me! New stage of life now. The few days before Friday were stressful for me. Although it was minor, it was stressful with a nursing baby and wondering how much discomfort I would be in after. Well, it went well, but I was really tired and sore all weekend. To be expected. I did a lot of comfort eating before and after surgery. Not good, but again, to be expected. I am getting better at coping without drowning in food, but definitely not perfect. My MIL helped with the baby and of course had to bring a wonderful pumpkin cake over to “help me feel better”. Love that lady. God bless her, but that was probably the last thing I needed. Sure was good though!

I’m not sure if I will lose tonight at weigh in or not. It truly doesn’t matter either way. It is time to focus on the important stuff. Eating right, exercising, and taking care of ME. I keep saying it is imporant, but then I let it slide. I get lost in the shuffle and hussle of daily family living. I can’t wait for anyone else to get motivated. This is me, and I control me. I am the only one that controls me. There is so much in life that we can’t change, but I can definitely change me!!

I’m slowly getting my life back on track. Finances are looking better than they have in a long time. Hubby and I are still keeping separate finances for now. We are splitting the bills and taking care of business, and have even managed to slide a decent amount into savings for a house in the future. I’m not in any hurry to join our finances again. Not because I’m worried about our stability as a couple, but because it is forcing him to be a part of budgeting. It was all my job before. He would swipe and I would make it all work and pay the bills. No more. This way he has to participate which makes it much easier to keep him focused instead of the free spirit he is naturally. Finances are good, house/family is running decently, work is going smoothly, so it is ME time!

Goals:
1. Whole food snacks twice a day. Fruits, whole grain, dairy, veggies. Make snacks count.

2. Drink proper amounts of water. Get dehydrated easily nursing a baby. Need extra hydration if I’m going to lose!

3. Veggies at lunch AND dinner. Realized last night that I’m seriously lacking in the veggie department.

4. Count and track my WW points. They work if I do my part.

5. EXERCISE!! Catrina says twice a day. I think she is probably right on, so I’m going to start getting up early to get some in before work, and again before bed in the evening. (wonders if sex counts as exercise??) Seriously, I just need to make myself get into the habit.

6. Go shopping for me by myself sometime in the next week. I don’t get any alone time, and I need pampering. Fun shopping. Not running errands and grocery shopping.

7. Go to the park with the kids and dog at least once this week. Wonderful evenings lately, need to enjoy them OUTSIDE!

K. That is all for now. Thanks for listening. Think my week is all scoped out now! Hang tight!
