Marathon Mom

A.M. Weigh-in: 147.2

I’ll never get caught up on everything, will I? I’m beginning to face that little piece of reality. I just feel behind all the time, too bad all my theorhetical running to catch up isn’t burning any calories! I’d be at goal weight in no time!

My birthday is in exactly 6 weeks from this Saturday. I really REALLY wanted to be at goal weight (115) by then. Obviously, short of injesting a tape worm or severing one of my larger limbs, that ain’t gonna happen. So, I’m having to accept that crappy little bit of reality too. So I’ve reset my birthday goal to 129. That’s 18 pounds in 6 weeks. Three pounds a week is reasonable IF I stay focused and on track. Other than my daughter’s 18th birthday the week before my birthday, there isn’t anything on the horizon between now and then. Which is great!! I’m putting my blinders on and running ahead full steam - sorry, I mixed about a dozen metaphors there. I think I just killed my college lit professor!

Back to work - I’ll check in later!

1:35 pm UPDATE: got a foot long veggie delite from Subway. Points total: 7.5 for whole foot long. I usually only get a 6″ (which is 3 points) but I’m dividing into lunch and dinner. It’s more cost effective to get a $5 foot long than a $3.50 six inch. And I’m just frugal like that.

After work, picking up Skye from daycare, and making sure all the kids have done their homework, are making dinner and doing their chores, I have to head out shopping again tonite. I’m going to get a steam-vac for our kitchen floor. I just hate that it never feels clean from just mopping. Especially since I don’t do the mopping, the kids do. I’m hoping they’ll do a better job with a steam vac. I’m also buying one of those electric sweeper/vacs that look like a broom since they do such a craptastic job of sweeping.

Then I’m going to swing into Ross and pick up a new purse. I’m in desperate need of one the right size. I’m torn between a satchel and a hobo style. Ross always has really great bags, so I’m sure I’ll find something.
