Schedules

I think it always happens this way!  Life!!!

For the last few weeks my calender/schedule has been empty.  I start to make plans and boom it's crazy.  I really just want a happy medium.  I have two weeks of things and then empty.  I need these empty times to decompress, but then the same thing will happen.  I need to break out of this pattern.

So the Healthy You Challenge has been going well, except for the damn chocolate chips.  Every day I eat chocolate chips and every day I get a big 0 for the category of no treats.  I know there are worse things I could indulge in, but really I want this.  I want to be successful with the ultimate goal of changing my lifestyle to be healthy and to reach my pre-pregnancy weight.  I should be grateful, I didn't gain as much as others considering for 9 months I wasn't able to exercise or walk or really anything, but I am not losing the weight very quickly and I am out of shape.  I did a diet Ideal Protein in the past it was successful, but I'm not ready yet to start that, I know I need to be ready or it won't be successful either.  I also need to be in a better financial position to start that diet.

Tonight I am having a date with my husband.  We aren't doing anything fancy, just us time once the kids go to bed, but I need these nights.  I need them to connect these nights are far and few between.  My husband is out a lot he plays hockey which is great, but means that I am home most nights, the odd night he doesn't have hockey I try to make plans with friends but it doesn't always work out. 

Time to finish laundry and start supper.  Bored yet????  My life really isn't that interesting
