I didn’t intend to neglect my blog for over a week. The kids were home for Father’s Day and for part of their summer with us, and I just sort of forgot about my blog for a while. I don’t like to miss out on time with them, plus I feel the need to compensate for other people in their lives (you can guess who I mean) who are permanently glued to their phone screens, no matter what the kids may need.
I’ve also just been crazy busy. Between the kids being home, work, projects at the house, my many hobbies, books to catch up on, co-workers with a million questions, etc., I haven’t even sat down much lately. But I thought I should check in so everyone knows I am still alive and kicking.
I keep trying to ease back into the working-out-and-eating-less routine, but I have concluded that that approach leaves me far too much wiggle room and just doesn’t work for me. My inner con artist finds every loophole and exploits every excuse to keep eating too much, to skip workouts here and there. So this week I’ve decided I need to do this cold turkey. I am 100% in, no excuses! I’m tossing myself straight into the deep end. Time to sink or swim.
This week is going to be just as busy, but I am determined to have a great week. I have two parties this week, plus a to-do list a mile long, but I need to just accept that life happens. I need to fit in workouts where I can, and I will plan my eating for those parties. There’s no law that says I need to pig out to have fun.
I will write a post later, catching up on life, when I have more time. Just wanted to say hello, I am still here, I will cruise around to everyone’s blogs as soon as I can, and I am ready for a really good week.
