Its gonna be frightening~

When I got my day shift I thought I would have so much time on my hands. I planned to spend countless hours devoting myself to blogger, creating blogs, reading blogs, post witty comments on blogs, etc. My time still feels limited.

Cole does all the big chores, floors, bathrooms, groceries while I do the day to day chores like dishes, supper, etc. Today I guess I bit off a little more than I could chew. I walked home after work, worked out on the treadmill, did dishes, baked brownies for Cole, packed lunches, make a new recipe for supper, showered, did more dishes, cleaned the litter box, etc.

I have to start figuring out better ways to eat my points while doing the day shift. On nights I had it totally figured out but now I'm up way more hours and I find in the early afternoon once I'm done the treadmill I'll just cram food in my face-doesn't matter what. I'm disappointed in myself but I know what it is now-my points need to be figured out big time-STAT!!!

I'm going to use a huge chunk of my time this week to figure out some Weight Watcher recipes I'll be making on the weekend and write out my grocery list. When I get weighed this week its so going to be a rude awakening for me-No sense putting it off any longer-I'm a big girl (literally) I can take it.

Forget working for the weekend-I'm working for the work week.







I spend the entire work week looking forward to the weekend so I can relax. And don't get me wrong-I definately do relax but with trying to eat healthy and working nights I have to prep on the weekends. If I am going to get in my walk, my sleep, work, and a little down time during the week it means extra chores on the weekend like bagging veggies, cooking chicken breasts, etc. Eating healthy can be so exhausting. This weekend our car broke down and the dealership can't get in the part til Monday so it was good for me cause I already got in an extra walk towards the week. I didn't even blog about losing 2.2 pds last week. I'm super excited to get those results, it makes all the walks and point tracking worth it. I use my flex points every week but not my activity points, a lot of ppl from my meeting don't use the extra points but I figure I will continue to do so unless as I get closer to goal I hit a plateau but even then I think I would rather up the activity cause I love to eat, haha. I don't know what it is but the more I diet the more I enjoy cooking, something I always enjoyed must be the super awareness of food or something but this weekend I made homemade bread for the first time and choc dipped oat cakes. My fiance is more in love than ever since I now know how to make homemade bread, it really is true the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, haha.
