I came home yesterday afternoon to a note from the post office. They attempted to deliver a certified letter from City Hall. What could it be? I couldn't get it until morning and I couldn't put it out of my mind. Did they discover a lean on the property? Did our tax check bounce? It is my nature to assume the worst.
Luckily I did not eat... much. I made that yummy brocolli again for dinner (it is my favorite veggie), and I had a few low fat animal cookies and skim milk for dessert. That was about it. I went to bed but didn't really sleep - my mind was stuck on this letter. So I got up this morning and went through the usual routine except a raving lunatic had entered my body and my family felt it's wrath.
I am a yeller and everything annoyed me.
Thank God we had to go out to the bus stop (I am sure that's what my kids were thinking). I was lamenting about the letter when my neighbor blurted out - "WHAT is it? OMG, I was going to run over there right now to get it!". She had received a note as well! My other neighbor piped up. "I have it. They just need to notify you about the house being torn down." A collective sigh followed. The stress instantly left my body, followed by a little reflection. Why was I so stressed? Why do I always assume that I did something wrong? And, it's a good thing I chose not to binge over it... That would have been such a waste...
I have a new work schedule so this week is an adjustment. Today I'm going to work out, have lunch, work, swim, shower and pick up kids. Another full day of mom-hood. Tonight I'll have to apologize to my children and DH for being such a witch with a "B" this morning.
My diet is going well this week, and I am on track to see a nice loss come Monday or Tuesday when I next weigh in.
