why did i wait so long?

well, I feel like my normal self again! still sick, but at least I worked out today.  I walked for almost an hour and then did stretching, abdominals, and leg lifts. I did this at home because my gym closes early on sunday’s and I didn’t get out the door in time.  Oh well, not the most vigorous work out, but still made me feel much better!  Im sort of worried about my right knee. Its been a little tender lately and I am sooooo praying that it doesn’t get worse, and cause major problems. All I need is a knee injury to knock me way off track.  Im sure that my joints are all over worked from carrying all this extra weight around for a decade.  I just couldn’t handle it if my knee became an issue.  

Tomorrow, i really need to clean this house!! Strange because, before my lifestyle change,  my priorities were totally different than they are now. Before (besides my kids and hubby,) my house, and the finances were top priorities in my life.  I was a total clean freak!! my house was cleaned daily! I was also a freak about the finances. I looked at our money situation daily and sort of freaked out about it constantly.  Maybe I just thought….since i had no control over my eating and weight, that I would become obsessive over the things i could control like cleaning, and our money situation. Now, I am so absorbed in my eating, and working out…that my house and the finances are on the back burner.  It’s not like I am a total pig now and live in filth and the bills still get paid, ect….. but, I have to push myself to clean the house, and do the bills. It’s like pulling teeth. before, i use to enjoy it (wierd, i know). It’s just strange how focusing on one thing, makes you forget about others. I really do need to clean tomorrow tho, after thanksgiving, we put up our christmas decorations.  I have to have a clean house to do that. plus, i just feel better when my house is clean. so, that is one main goal for tomorrow while the kids are in school. I am also going to the gym tomorrow. It’s still to be determined weather or not i am going to attempt the spin class again. do i really want to try that this soon? IDK?
