Cleaning day is a very dangerous day
What a tiring weekend- no didn’t stick to phase 1 very well. Correction, breakfast and lunch were both on point for phase 1, dinner- eh not so much… But at least I tried and the stuff I did eat for dinner wasn’t unhealthy- it just wasn’t low carb. Going back to phase 1 when you are getting ready for your mom to come home after not seeing her for two years is tough. I cleaned and swept and mopped till Sunday night I said I’m going to “lie down” for five minutes and woke up an hour later confused! lol. Not even to mention that I didn’t take any medication all weekend… I was exhausted but until I get a full prescription I don’t want to use it on the weekend when the supply I have is so limited. I also think that part of it is when I’m tired I tend to eat more- hence another reason for me to stay on this medication. I do well on the weekdays but weekend are terrible cuz I haven’t been taking my meds then… This doctor needs to freaking HURRY UP.
Is the cleaning done? Nope I wish! The kitchen isn’t done- but I have wednesday off and my sister and I will finish up the kitchen. Also the couches need to be cleaned as well- I bought sheets that I will cover the couches with to help keep them clean. And I’d like to clean out my closets as well so I’ll be taking care of that too- my room isn’t too bad but I’d like to clean it up also. The rest of the house is done- the laundry, the guest room my mom will sleep in, the “gym” where we keep our bikes, my treadmill, my husband’s bowflex (which he STILL hasn’t used- I told him if he hasn’t used it by the end of this month it’s OUT OF HERE), and a few other odds and ends.
Oh and I bought the euro-pro shark steamer- that thing is AMAZING. It cleaned my tile SO WELL! It was $120 but totally worth it! I picked up so much crap my other mop was not- I’m definitely keeping this baby!! If you have tile or hard wood floors I definitely recommended it- it does take a bit of elbow grease but it works so well. I also bought the small hand held steamer for $40 and it cleaned off my oven really nicely, my microwave (that thing was gross on the vents), and all my cabinets! They look brand new now! I give it 5 stars 
My brother stayed over yesterday- don’t know if anyone keeps up with mexico news- but all the crazy stuff going on down there is finally catching up to my family. My father is a very wealthy person and runs a school in Tijuana- apparently the other day someone called making threats and demanding money. My father decided that he’s not staying at the house and is looking for an apartment here in the states (he lives across the border) and in the meantime my brother will stay with us till my dad finds something. What a crazy world- obviously I care for my brother’s safety so I was like stay here till dad takes care of whatever he’s trying to do.
Back to trying to be good again on the diet- oh and now that I can actually get to my treadmill again I’m going to work out tonight woo! I’m going to try to stick to phase 1 as much as possible for now since I’m still so busy with everything. Tonight for dinner I’m making baked chicken with veggies and brown rice.
Also hubby gave me his pills- he said take them- so I’m back on the meds, hoping it’ll be enough till the insurance says yes or no- and if they say no I’ll cry 
Anyways- so much left to do today! Got to get the h1n1 vaccine today, call my husband’s doctor ask him if he can get it. Apparently if you have MS you CAN NOT have the nasal one it might kill you- you can only get the shot but with approval from your neurologist. Luckily my husband said something to the nurse about his MS before she gave it to him and she told him she can’t give him the spray!
Then have to call a friend over to help us clean out the large bunch of trash we have at home- I’m throwing out a bunch of random items that have been sitting in the backyard FOREVER. A friend of mine said the dump charges $30 a load- so we’ll load up his truck and be done with it!
I’m exhausted just posting this lol 
Have a good day everyone!
Oh and I totally forgot to weigh in! Last night at 3 am there was this HUGE crash in the living room- scared the living daylights out of me! Turns out it was a bag of dry groceries my husband was taking to work the next day- it’s so odd that it fell over at 3 am- but there you have it. It totally ruined my sleep and took me forever to fall back to sleep I’ll weigh in tomorrow.
I’ve always wanted one of those sharks~ they look amazing on TV. GOod to know they work.
My apartment is mostly carpet minus kitchen and bathroom so I don’t need it as of now. BUT ONE DAY =D
I hope your family is safe and happY! best of luck to them.
Good luck on your weigh-in tomorrow!!!!!
I would of had a heart attack if a bag of groceries fell at 3AM. I wake up so easily and then I often become a victim of my overactive imagination. Glad to hear you’re back to hitting Phase I. It’s nice knowing that we’re trying to get back to this weightloss business together!
They have a hand-held steamer that cleans the stove MICROWAVE vents without damaging them?!?!? I NEED MORE INFO. My microwave vents are disgusting (we bought the place that way) ….I thought nothing could change that except replacing. WOW!
Sorry you are struggling with so much right now…
:: hugs ::
Oh sunny this one has this attachment- and you put it on- and it steams the attachment and makes it hot my hubby ran it along the outside vents on top- wasn’t 100% but so much cleaner than before! I’m pretty sure I’ll have to change the vents again but it looks so much better right now. Btw I am talking about the outside of the microwave. I know nothing about this microwave lol.
The brand is shark- but there are different ones- I’ll post the exact one I used tomorrow.
Good luck with Phase 1! The nice thing is that you’ve done it before so you know what to expect. And double good luck with getting the rest of the house cleaned before your mom gets back! All that cleaning has to count for some exercise, huh??
Phase 1 is SO HARD!! But I remember once I get into the swing of it, I could like live there. It just takes a while to get into the groove. But you can’t go out of it, even for a snack. Part of how it works is that whole getting in ketosis thing (or whatever it is) and once you’re in it, the craving for carbs goes way down too so it’s easier to stay in. BTDT.
I want one of those steamer things - but just owning it won’t make my house cleaner will it? I’ll have to actually USE it too. Crap! Oh well.
lol- let me tell you after a while that thing is a workout! When I was done I was all sweaty- but then again I always clean like a mad woman…
Finding something that cleans well is always a challenge. I can’t tell you how many vaccums we’ve been through! Good luck doing P1 again!
