Happy New Year!
2015 is upon us, and it has been a super stressful week. I finally got back to "work" and I say this extremely loosely because the children are still off from school until January 6th. Whoever thought winter break should be two full weeks, clearly doesn't have three children in school.
I took three weeks off from work. I roughly threw in the towel the week before Christmas and trying to catch up hasn't been easy. And it is still going to take another week at least before I am not completely drowning in emails and trips to the post office.
I know I haven't updated in a while, and to be honest I've opened up a blank blog post and tried to write probably six times since my last post.
Today, my week in pictures.
I finally hung the handmade Sugar Skull mask I bought in Charleston, SC in August. I got it for my work space, because I completely fell in love with it. Talk about lazy!
Trying to get back to work... trying to bad. I busted out my Seven James cup figuring she would whip me back into shape. Total pun intended.
New Years aftermath. This is what I looked like when I woke up on New Years morning. I sat down on the couch with my caffeine in hand and started trudging through my to-do list. I got a ton done before the kids woke up too. Because once they are up... yeah. Good luck with that.
Laundry? Yeah. I went and put a load in the dryer, and when I came back down the stairs with the kids laundry basket... this is what I found. They were both in the laundry room sink just... "Hey, how you doin?" Um... now if they could only load the washer and dryer for me...
Day one: I've been battling with weight for years. It's like a yo-yo. One month I am a fresh 120 pounds and the next I pack on an extra ten pounds. So, in 2015 I have decided I am going to lose 20 pounds, and keep it off. I'm starting with the Advocare 24 day challenge, and combined with my gym membership, I am hoping to rock this!
Starting weight: 135 pounds
Goal: 115 pounds.
Mini Me... Since we've been out of school, everyone's sleep schedule is completely screwed up. I had Addison in my bed the other night trying to get her to relax, watch some Disney Jr. and GO THE F TO SLEEP! Well, as I am sitting at my computer working away... I turn around and see this.
Yup. She is my daughter.
Part 2 of the weight loss project...
Meal prep.
I spent two hours yesterday preparing a week's worth of meals. Lots of chicken, veggies and brown rice. Salads, greek yogurt, fresh juice, etc. I'm praying I can stick with it.
Last... the mini me again. Last night I caught her in bed like this. Mind you, its 70 degrees out in Florida. You would think that she is back home in Connecticut preparing for a snow storm. Also, can you just note that she has completely taken over my bed?
