Ok, here I sit, a little peace and quiet on my end. My husband took Reilley out to lunch, my other 3 are at school, and I have my mind back for at least the next 1/2 hour.
I spend much of my days trying to figure out what I need to get done, if I have the energy to do it, and then, I will finally throw in a load of laundry, or change some bed sheets, or vacuum the floors. Picking up toys is a neverending deal, that I do allllllll day long. Right now, I am going to sit here and type away.
I have been, for the last year or so, trying to figure out the best way to lose weight. Not one of my stronger issues. After all of my children, I would say that I was probably back down to, or at least very close to being at the weight I was before within, 6 months to a year. Not this time. After I had Reilley, I told myself that I was not going to obsess over my weight, I would lose it over time, and just enjoy the moments, not worry about the little things, right? Here I am, 2 yrs later, and I really want to get rid of the excess.
One of my biggest problems is the evenings. At night is when I usually get on this heap of a computer and start messing around with all of my stuff… my websites, my email, whatever the case. Then, all of a sudden, I need a snack. Yes, I can say with all uncertainty that if I could eliminate this nightly computer routine, I would probably be in much better shape. Oh, and then, there’s the coffee. I don’t know how or why it happened, but I started drinking coffee about 3 years ago. First time in my life. I never, NEVER liked coffee. I hated the smell, the taste, and I just always drank water. I guess that is my other BIG culprit. My water intake has drastically decreased, while I sip my days away on coffee.
Anyhow, I really have to start looking for a way to get back in shape. I’m not seriously overweight, but I have some problem areas that I would really like to get toned back up, and I do need to drop some pounds. If anyone out there has some thoughts on how to get the energy back and get into a routine as a stay at home mother, without the words “Weight Watchers” or “Jenny Craig” I would love to get some input.
Maybe some of you out there would like to team up with me on some kind of check in support deal. I seem to work well when I have other people to work with.
