Good morning
Another spring day making me itch to work in the garden.
Ruth - Now I'm wondering if I can fit a visit to the garden store into my day
Stay strong when passing by the evil buffet. Maybe plan some homemade crack slaw for dinner so you have a buffet-like but much healthier meal to look forward to?
Kristen - I love gardening but have trouble finding time to fit it in. Of course if I didn't spend a day a week chasing birds I'd have more time
You're somewhere around me aren't you? I finally have a snow free yard!
I've got a doctor's appt. too. It must be the week. I actually have one today and one next week because I have a separate girl doctor. Don't know how I planned two physicals in a 8 day stretch, that wasn't clever! I haven't made it back to my goal weight so not so happy about the scale either
I talked to the lead on our campaign yesterday and it looks like 4 day weeks for the summer are a go. I'm so excited to have a garden day to look forward to! I did that a few years ago, involuntarily, and really loved it. DW also works 4 day weeks so some weeks we will take long birding weekends but most weeks I will work in the garden and do stuff around the house. I'm going to work on a decluttering project too. That's just impossible to find time for most weeks. I'll keep all that in mind the next 2-3 weeks when work is crazy. Our bill should move through the second House committee next week then go to the floor. We will work crazy hours until it's voted out of the house. Hopefully we will wait to move through the Senate until next session, so life will calm down by the end of the month. There's even rumor of an extra few days off for the team once we get to the other side of this stretch.
I'm still really struggling with being perfectly on plan. I have days when I eat something off plan and more days when I just eat too much, grazing and picking way beyond what I need. I am getting regular exercise in and that is definitely helping but I'm feeling slightly out of control with the food. I'm debating a Phase 1 week but, to be perfectly honest, I don't want to give up my apples. They are really the perfect snack on the road and really satisfying. This maintenance thing has been a constant process of trial and error for me. I wonder if it will ever become second nature
I suppose I should start planning my day. I am definitely including a walk outside in that plan!
ETA:
Cottage - Happy gardening! The gardening with children classes were always my favorite part of my previous job. So much fun
Heidi - I so understand. We can get through this!
