No Rest For the Weary
I took another Wednesday morning off from work to spend at the doctor’s office.
Last week was my poor Emily, who caught a stomach virus from someone at school. She puked Tuesday evening from 7pm till 1am. It was awful seeing her that way. By 1am she was dry heaving and freaking out ’cause she couldn’t catch a breath during the heaves :(. So I took the morning to take her to the doctor, get her prescriptions and get my inspection sticker on the BMW before heading to work. Then I had my floral design class my work signed me up for. All this time, Jorge was on his way to Denver for the CEDIA Expo and to take his Level 2 Certification exam. He’d be gone from Wednesday to Saturday =/.
Emily was better by the next evening, thank God. The girls and I spent Wednesday evening watching their shows and videos on YouTube. They’d be picked up the next evening to spend the weekend with Mario, since it was his weekend. It was going to be a LONELY few days =/. At least Jorge and I got to Skype :).
And of course I spoke to the kiddos on the phone :).
Sally and I were supposed to hang out on Thursday, but I ended up with Emily’s virus, just not as bad as hers. So I went to sleep early.
On Friday, Sally and I caught up for lunch at Cheddar’s. Jorge took his exam and passed with flying colors! He was so nervous, but I knew he’d ace it. He’s the smartest person I know!
Sally, her kiddos and I were supposed to go jogging, but it became late so we took the kids to Barnes & Noble instead, then went for yogurt. And what an unhealthy yogurt I had =/.
Every time I decide that I’m going to start jogging again, I DON’T, and follow up my fail with something unhealthy lol.
While we were at Barnes, we saw, er, the person who essentially helped cause Jorge’s previous marriage to come crashing down. Well, he was part of it. Takes 2 to tango. I gave Sally a summary of it, but it’s always weird to revisit that part of history.
Anyway, I picked Jorge up at the airport the next evening :). It was great to have him back home. We went to IHOP to have dinner…and again I had an insanely unhealthy meal:
FML. But I figured since I was starting my workouts all over on Monday, I would take advantage.
I know. I’m never going to make any progress if I don’t get out of that mindset -_-.
We spent the rest of the evening and Sunday being absolutely lazy for ONCE. With the exception of grocery shopping.
Oops, did it again! We had The Voice and X Factor to catch up on…and we ate healthily throughout the day, so I made an exception ;). In my defense, I eat low-carb all day, so the sugar I do eat isn’t affecting me too badly. Still, I know I shouldn’t eat some of those things :(. But I’m happy I’ve kept the weight off that I lost back in April/May. I know I can do better though.
Anywhoo, I tried working on a blog entry then, but it’s a novel so I’ll have to continue on it later.
And now that brings us to this week and the non-stop things I have going on.
I rushed getting ready this morning and took the girls to the Book Fair, got them to class on time and brought Mom to her appointment.
Mom keeps stalling on her darn appointments and wasn’t even logging down her glucose readings since the last time she went to the doctor they told her she was doing great. That’s when I had her on the Keto diet. It must have gone to her head ’cause she just stopped logging. So I made an appointment for her and here we are. I just hope we get out of here before 11:30 so I can pick Emily up from school, drop her and Mom off and get ready for work. I have another floral design class today, too. Plus I need to find time to get my hair trimmed (split end city) since I’m working the Wine Classic this year. It’s one of our biggest fundraisers. And I’m in charge of Sweet & Tasty’s dessert table. FML lol.
Today, though. Today is the day I do SOMETHING, either jogging outside or the treadmill. I need to tone up for November and that darn Annual Banquet =/. And I’m blogging about it to hold myself accountable. I do so well when I start and then I quit logging (Mother??) and my motivational train de-rails.
I went back to a blog entry back in July 2009, right before I started Tae Kwon Do and P90X. I wanted to find what it was that motivated me to start and not give up…and it was when Annie had straight out told me I stayed chunky after having Emily. That was my push. I want to find my progress photos from back then so I can motivate myself again. I just need to tone. But I just need to get off the sofa and START!!
