Busy

Yes, My life is hectic, but we need to expect crazy times and be flexible. It is frustrating when we don't get that down time to just catch up. The bills, clutter of 2 kids, dog and DH really make me CRAZY, and the dirty clothes just keep piling up. I am jealous of my neighbor, who took a part time job and hired a cleaning lady to come 2x month. It definately would help, but I just don't have that kind of money.

All I have left to do with my Lifeguard course is read 3 more chapters and take the test. I feel pretty confident that I can pass and I would take it today if I could. My family (mostly DH) has suffered enough. AND I would like my time back... My exercise is SUFFERING - alot! I have gone spinning a few times, but that is it outside of dog walking. I want 4 days minimum to lift weights, run, or spin. I am thinking about triathlon season and the races I want to do next year. I have three in mind and wouldn't it be great if I were up to the challenge?

I want weight loss to be part of my plan, and at least I have managed a few of my weekly goals. I am happy to announce that today is DAY 7 in row for Spark journaling. I have stayed within my calories for 5 of 7 days (good) and I haven't been on the scale, but I am hoping for a nice number for Tuesday's weigh in(or at least lower than the last time). I have made meals and not eaten out. I am feeling pretty in control at the moment. After this week, I'll be able to plan more easily for exercise and maybe, just maybe, everything will start to click....
