Rain rain rain. I loathe when it rains all day, especially when I am home with Finn. We can't get outside for a walk, other than a short one, and it's slow if we do. Today, he's watched too much TV, though he at least stopped of his own accord. And today, though I have gotten a lot of work done, I haven't moved enough. I HAVE managed to avoid too much sugar and carbs, though for some reason, I've been extraordinarily hungry all day. I made it to yoga this evening, which is a miracle, considering my mood and the weather, and the fact that Jason's truck died this morning. (It's better now, after a little time, money, and inconvenience.) I am fighting a bad attitude. Between the rain, the candy coma follow-up to Halloween, the time change, and the new-ish routine, to which we are all still adjusting, the boys were super-crazy cranky today. I was sluggish and out of sorts. Jason was stressed out by the truck failure and his own insane work schedule this week. I keep having dreams in which I am on vacation--does that mean I need a break? I wish I had a few days to just work on personal projects, but I guess every parent wishes this. Right now, my goal is just to keep the wheels on this bus.
This challenge is winding down, though that fact doesn't mean all that much to me since I have no intention of stopping. I have lost between 16 and 19 pounds, depending on the day, time of day, and how much water i consumed the day before I weigh. I have a good 25-30 pounds to go. I plan to keep going, no matter how long it takes, until I am happy with how I feel, how I look, and my flexibility and strength.The number on the scale is a convenient metric for progress, but it's really about so much more than that.
