Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 28 July 2016

Today I am attempting to work from home with puke boy, a pre-teen who is apparently dying because I forced her to the outside, little 4 yr old man who disappeared into the barn to go see daddy about 2 hours ago, and the dairyfarmerswife's husband who disappeared into the barn at about 6am. I'm working from home so that is my excuse for not disappearing into the barn as well. Plus.. I have my own little barn experience going on right now because the dog who sheds has come in and reeks like a manure pile but there is no manure on her. I'm afraid to investigate further and she's shedding under the dining room table so we've agreed to leave one another alone. Her hair balls are threatening invasion.

As an added bonus of working from home we decided to make a bonfire out of the old desk when we installed new hardwood floors so I now have a modified standing desk at the bar. Woohoo! After 3 hours I can kinda feel it. Maybe I should put shoes on. Or pants... maybe clothing I wouldn't mind the mailman seeing me in... I'm still debating.

Today should be a challenge not only with clothing considerations but also with temptation. Two foot to my left is the husbands birthday cake with choco chip oreos sitting on top because the kids decided the combination of dads two favorite cookies equaled the perfect bday gift. A pizza with the toppings eaten off just appeared courtesy of puke boy about 1 foot to my left because eggs were yucky and he insisted it was the only thing he could eat. He's sick you know. Pizza apparently equals wellness because he just sailed out the door and tackled daddy on the skid steer demanding to have his breakfast shaken not stirred. I think he's on the mend. Either way this will be a great test to his level of wellness. The pre-teen.. still dying on the couch now watching some E show that has a lot of Oh no she didn'ts. I'm afraid to look.

So family chaos.. unlimited food.. sugar within smellin distance.. and a dog that keeps shaking sending clouds of hair into the air. That's just since 9:28 am. I've got this. I have to. My ankles are telling me to lighten the load already as I type. Plus yesterday we had a fire alarm go off at work and we stood outside in the sun for an hour. I sweat now. Not a normal oh I'm hot. It was not pretty. I've noticed I sweat more at 200 than I did at 150. A pinterest post told me this was common. I am now taking the advice of P and assuming that if I lose the weight I will sweat less and be able to stand my own stench after an hour long fire drill in the sun.

Meal Plan today:
Breakfast: Omlette with mushrooms and ham.. it was delicious
Lunch: Leftover steak diced up on a salad
Dinner: The pork chops who were stood up last night along with sweet potatoes and possibly corn if I make it to the little grocery store in town and they actually have corn. Either that or grilled zucchini.
Snack: Melon spears of yumminess
