I don't like being so busy that I don't have time for myself, but that's where I'm at right now.  I have been going to school for the last year as well as working full time, and the class I am taking right now is a lot of work.  Easy, but time consuming.  It's only a 5 week class, and it's online, so I can do it, but when I realized that I wasn't going to be able to go work out last night because I had to finish an assignment, I was not happy!  I have to remember that while I need to work out and find that time to make healthy meals, I also need to finish school, because that is important to me too.  Balance, I'm not really good at it!

weekdays

I don't say this very often, but I can't wait for work tomorrow.  I tend to eat better and work out more on the weekdays than on the weekends!  I need to get back to my daily grind and stop all the other things in life to distract me.

So the past 2 weekends of traveling have made it a little hard to get my exercise in, but I surprised myself by not doing too badly on the scale.  I am back in the swing of things now, eating right exercising, and I'm finally going to the YMCA to get my free membership after work today.  Haven't had time until now!  Only 2 1/2 weeks until the next weigh in!  Work hard everyone!

weekend

We had a big weekend in our family, my daughter graduated from college and we were in Athens, OH from Friday until Sunday.  I thought I did OK, lots of walking, and not a lot of bad food, but unfortunately, fast food and restaurant food.  Stepped on the scale this morning and didn't like what I saw!  Needless to say, gotta ramp it up this week!  However, it was a fabulous weekend with all 4 of my childrent together and celebrating, so I don't regret a second of it! 
 
Weekend coming up, going to Chicago to visit with family - another rough weekend ahead!
