And that’s just a little bit of what we’ve been up to. In a previous post I had told you that I would be working two jobs from home.  First, I feel so incredibly lucky that I have the chance to stay at home with my little man during the day and work at night when daddy gets home. But, it’s been hard to have that quality family time that we love so much. The first few weeks of me working have definitely been an adjustment period and now we are in more of a groove. We make more of an effort to plan fun family things to do – like going to the zoo – park – or library.
But in all of this madness of adjusting schedules and such I’ve completely fallen off the weight loss wagon. I’ve gained most of it back (except for 5 lbs). But I feel terrible about that. I should never have let that happen. But, I admit it’s completely my fault. I started eating terrible again and justified it by saying it was easier to grab and eat instead of plan and eat (hence the McDonald’s photo).
William and I sat down to talk about it yesterday and we’ve developed a better plan to keep us on track. I am going to start running at night – I have missed that so much. I guess it is really all about scheduling. We now have to schedule everything. Our whole day. But it needs to be done, so we can live the life that we want to live.
A life filled with family time, good health, and time for us just as a couple.
I have been dreading writing this post because I didn’t want to admit to myself (or you) that I had gotten off track with my weight loss. I was feeling so great. But, I’m ready to get back on track. I’m ready to start making the time to plan our meals and times that I can exercise.
Do you schedule your days?
 Have a particular planning system that works for you?
