I’ve started a new blog post in my head several times over the past week, but I just haven’t had time to put any words onto the page. I know I sound like a broken record, but the pace hasn’t slowed down any yet, and I’m starting to feel more than ready for a vacation. A loooong vacation! (I’ve been interrupted about half a dozen times just writing this paragraph, and I am about to give up!)
Somehow, I managed to squeak out a small loss last week, but I honestly can’t take any credit for it. I put no effort in last week at all. It must simply be a random fluctuation in weight. But it was still nice to see a loss!
The kids were home this past weekend, and it was a relief to slow down and hang out with them. It’s comforting when they’re home, because it’s the only time that I know for sure all four of them are safe and cared for.
Taking care of myself has taken a back seat, yet again, and I decided that really needs to change. I’m not quite sure yet what changes I need to make, but I need to carve out time to plan meals, prepare healthier food, and work out, even if it’s just 15 minutes a day. When I am overwhelmed and swamped and drowning under a to-do list a mile long, it’s so easy to skip things like that, and let’s be real, I want to skip workouts because I don’t feel like doing them! I need to change my perspective and my routine, and soon, for my own health.
