So far, so good. Even after a late night, waking up (slightly) with hubby at 4 am, then getting up for good at 6, I stuck to my plan of getting my exercise in first thing!! My daughter is babysitting a 2 year old and they were using my living room tv, which is the only one with the on Demand feature, so I just put on my ankle weights and did some leg and ab exercises for about 25 minutes in the privacy of my bedroom. It's amazing to me what a difference a weight added to your ankle makes.. and I believe they are only 2.5 pounds! I have also been working in the stores more recently, so I am getting a lot more standing and walking in during the day, as well as staying on top of my water intake. AND.... got on the scale this morning and I am back down almost 3 pounds since Monday!! YAY!!!
Yesterday was fairly uneventful. I worked until 4:30 then headed home-- right during rush hour!! A drive that takes me 1/2 hour without traffic took one and a half hour!! So, after picking up my youngest daughter and her two friends to spend the night, I ended up getting home about 6:30, made dinner for the kids, and proceeded to wait for my hubby to get home. Poor guy has been working sooo much.. just since Monday, he already has 42 hours in, and he still has two more days! He got home at 9 last night and had to be back at work at 5 this morning. I keep hoping that things will slow down for him just so he can rest a little, but winter is coming and that is actually the busier time for his company, as well as mine, so I don't see much of a break coming.
I am getting ready to take my second oldest to the high school to pick up her schedule. My youngest daughter didn't want to get hers yesterday and doesn't want to get up this morning, so she'll have to walk down there on her own when she's ready.
Sounds boring, but that's it for now. I have to finish eating my breakfast, drink my morning water, and make myself presentable so my daughter is not embarrassed by me at the school ;) Have a SUPER FANTASTIC day!!!
