Week 2.

I can't believe it's been nearly a week since I last posted. Anyone who knows me IRL knows that I can't be quiet for that long. ;)

In fact, the blog did kind of hover in the back of my mind, but life got in the way and I wasn't able to post. Not that I didn't have time to sit here to post, mind you -- just that life stopped me from focusing on myself and my goals for a few days. Other things just needed my attention.

I did my best to stay on track, and didn't do terribly badly. I like being more conscious of what I'm putting in my body, and can really notice a difference when I've eaten something crappy and quick (not even fast food, necessarily) instead of taking the extra few minutes to make something balanced and nutritious.

I need to find more balance in other areas of my life, though, in order to be able to make it all fit together -- healthy eating, exercise, taking that precious time away from my family to get to the gym, 2 nights per week... how does it all work? Is there a way to manage to squeeze it all in and somehow not feel like you're dropping balls all over the place?

I skipped class last night. I didn't really want to, I just felt like I was needed at home. One of my kids had dental surgery on Monday at the follow up appt. was yesterday at 5:30 -- by the time we got home from that it was suppertime (which wasn't cooked yet, because I was uninspired yesterday and couldn't find a darn thing to make) and general madness ensued. So I stayed here to help man the fort, rather than leaving Nate (fuck it, nobody offered a suggestion as to what I should call my husband on here, so his first name it is) alone to deal with the hungry masses. I fully intended to go for a walk last night, but by the time we finally got the kids settled down it was too late to do anything.

I'm going to class tomorrow night for sure, though.
