Tuesday March 8, 2011 Crazy Week

Today's Good Things:
Decent school day
Kept up with meals well
Got out for a 1.5 mile walk with dh this afternoon (gorgeous sunshining day!)

Today's Not So Good Things:
2nd day of apple pie
not getting in enough exercise
late start
2nd night dh working late

It's been a tough couple of days and the rest of the week promises to be a bit stressful. Dh was able to get a small job, but it's working after hours, so I've been solo the last couple of nights. He's so busy during the day bidding jobs or studying for the exam that, well, it's been a little harried around here.

I've been trying to figure out what happened over the last few weeks. I was getting in a workout almost every evening and doing really well with my 15's. Now, I just can't seem to find the time again. I hate when it feels like life is overwhelming.  As if everything is about to topple over.  That is so not true, but somehow I go through these times when I feel like I just can't get a grip.

Tonite I worked on some curriculum planning. I got some laundry put away and worked on getting children to bed. It was good to get a few things done and it was enough for this tired momma. However, I really need to get back to my daily activities that are building strength in my body. I liked that I was feeling stronger and had more energy. I liked that I *wanted* to move and be active. I don't like feeling lazy and slumpish. And, not getting in the exercise makes the stress feel harder to work through. I know that having dh work nights makes it near impossible for me to get in a good workout, but tonite is the last night so I can start fresh in the morning.

I hope to get up early enough for a good walk and a strong start to the day. I *will* get back to my morning strength exercises because I know how good I will feel mentally, physically, and emotionally for doing them. I'm not really "off-track", because I'm still working hard to make good choices with my eating. But, I need to refocus on my activity level and reprioritize that again.
