Unbalanced

This is how I've felt lately - unbalanced. I feel like I"m stretched so thin that if I'm doing good eating/exercising, my house is a wreck. If I'm taking the kids to do lots of fun summery, enriching things, my house is dirty, I'm getting all the stuff done for work that I need to, and I don't have time to do all my food prep/cleanup and exercising. Sigh. There just isn't enough time during the day.

Anyway, I haven't been tracking consistently and Fri and Sat both weren't great eating days. Aaron left on Sun for 3 weeks so we went out a lot. Yesterday wasn't great either. I always have the hardest time when I'm at my parents' house, even if for a little bit.

I think a challenge is a good idea - I also need motivation, as well as more hours in the day. Think that'll happen? A friend of mine is doing a "biggest Loser" style competition where they each put in $10 bucks, weigh in at the beginning and end of the month, and whoever loses the most, wins all the money. I'm not saying to do something exactly like that, but it's an option.

My friend Cassa is going to be joining us on the blog but I'll let her introduce herself. Maybe if we can do a quick introduction of ourselves, that'd be nice.

I am trying to be positive about Aaron being gone for 3 weeks, but it's hard. It makes working out a lot harder, eating well harder (since my parents want us to come over), and I'm an emotional eater, especially at night :( I'm working on that. So, I'm going to try to get some workouts in in other ways - I'm going to get Brielle a special bike helmet today so I can take them out more in the bike trailer.

  1. Awesome that Cassa is joining us!

    Bummer that Aaron is going to be gone for so long. We'll have to get together and do fun stuff.

    I like the idea of the biggest loser style contest, but I'm not sure if it's realistic for us since we don't all live here. Plus, since I'm not sure I'll have a job next month, $10 is kind of something I want to hang on too.

  2. That's pretty exciting that we will have a new blogger. I keep meaning to email Heather and see if she is interested but I haven't so far.

    I like the idea of a biggest loser style contest too but I don't know. It would be pretty fun for me but not really something you and Tammi really need to do.

    I definitely could use some motivation though.
