Staying OP so far this week. I’m a bit upset that WI on Wednesday didn’t go very well. What I’m really hoping to see is loss of inches at the end of the January Exercise Challenge. I’ve been working out diligently and consistently for the past 2-3 weeks. It has been [...]

I am trying to psych myself up for this weekend. They are typically the days where most of my weekly points are used up without mercy. This has got to change and I’m the only person who can change it, right? I need to reread previous tips on how to handle the “off-days”.  [...]

Silence

Finally I had a day of peace. The kids are back in school and I have this week off before the new semester. It was so quiet I didn’t know what to do with myself. Most of the day, I confess, was spent on my butt watching daytime TV and playing video games. [...]

Normal days

It’s still the holiday season and there won’t be a “break” from the noisy kids for another week, yet everything feels back to normal. No more balancing road trips, Christmas presents and decorations on top of regular daily activities. Finally there is some breathing room.
