Weekend Ughs...

I don't know why I loathe the weekends lately. Perhaps it is the MESS that my house becomes. Perhaps it is the lazy chaos that becomes my life... My DH is pretty much on vacation any time he's not at work or working at his job and that can really REALLY get to me. I honestly don't know what he's thinking. I know (he's a guy) so it's not deliberate or intentional, but it makes me insanely crazy that he will do nothing household or parenting related unless I specifically (and I do mean specifically) tell him what he needs to do, when, and why.

The lawn needs to be mowed. Why? It's a foot tall. When? Sometime before you leave for work Monday morning.

You want to go to the gym? Great. Why don't you go between the hours of 8:30 and 1 when there is childcare?

Want to go fishing? Great. Why don't you take at least one of your kids. AND Why not go AFTER dinner, instead of while I am getting ready to serve it.

Taking the dog for a walk? Going out for a run? Why not do it AFTER the kids are in bed and not 30 minutes before.... Perhaps you could share the bedtime mayhem with your wife. hmmph!

VENT is open.... AHHHHHHHHH

On another note. I ran 3 miles yesterday at the gym while #1 daughter was at a b-day party. I felt pretty good. I paid attention to my form, did some intervals with speed and incline. I know I didn't break any speed records, but I felt like I worked....

Eating wise is OK - Yesterday I did not log food - BUT - I didn't eat after 7 and although I ate some garbage for lunch (pizza, 1 chick wing, 2 onion rings and a few ff) I didn't have dinner so calorically it wasn't too bad a day. Today I am eating VERY well. My weight as of yesterday was 196.5 SO that gives me a loss for the week.

My GOAL is to have lost 7 more lbs by Sep 30 (the day we leave for vacation). The 180's will be a happy site!
