Good Morning
These past days have been so busy and I haven't found the proper alignment of all the "stars" to post anything besides the quick hellos from myIPhone. . This is the busiest time at the ski resorts and when all of Denver is pouring in and out of the mountains the cell towers just can't accomodate lil' ol me wanting to get online before I leave or after I get home. Oh, Well...and apologies to all.
This morning I rose early and intended to sit downstairs w/my laptop. When I came back in from taking the pup out my DH was sitting in the living room w/coffee awaiting my return. As busy as our days are right now (and as well as we're getting along) I know that spending time with him is imperative…..so I plan for later.
When I got to my cybernotebook just now I reread what I had written on the BeckThread months ago and it was nice to reflect on the time in between and how I have done just what I said I was going to do. It reminds me why I did not gain weight during these past 5 months.
Written in August....
"When I commit 100% then the small amount of imperfection which slips in from time to time isn't a diet breaker. When I say this week doesn't matter because next week will be (calmer, less stressed, less busy, more focused....) then the backslide begins.
I am giving my 100% not to backslide.
I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE NOW that I function much better when my food is clean.
So, this next week, even though I'll be working like crazy I'm going to formulate a food plan for the entire time they are here and prep/cook/freeze/etc so I can stay within my food parameters, have food for us all and probably take meals to my mom. All the rest will fall where it is going to fall."
Anyway, I wanted to wish you all a happy Sunday! I may get back here later "if" internet cooperates. When I came down from the project at 7am the interstate was literally filled with cars headed towards the mountains.
My task at the project today is to apply 3 coats of waterbased finish in a bedroom, which is finished otherwise. I originally considered taking this entire day off but my brain came up with an acceptable solution. It takes an hour to apply a coat w/4 hours inbetween. By day's end I will have one room finished AND I will have enjoyed free time at home, too. We are now into our 2 week window....our dreadline is Jan.31 AND my siblings arrive a week from Monday...our time together since the passing of my BIL before Christmas. Every moment matters right now.
Long time no see, ladies! I strayed, re-gained, lost a little, gained it back and a couple friends, lost a few, and here I am. I know I feel better, and look better and lose weight, when I'm not eating many carbs. Yet I keep eating carbs.
