Maintenance and back to work
Well I had a good two weeks. I dug out of piles of laundry and mess in my upstairs. Many trips to goodwill later and bags donated to friends/family, I can see my closet and bedroom floors and my 4 year old daughters floor for the first time in way too long. While I was in school, I had an excuse to not get to it. I've been graduated for a year and just have felt overwhelmed any time I looked at the scope of the project. Since DH is in school and doing a lot of homework on vacation, I took a bite at a time and got through it. Let me tell you, it has taken a lot of stress off my mental health!
I took a couple of days where I just went and hung out with my sister and new nephew. Our girls played together while we oohed and ahh'd over baby Christopher.
The end of the vacation was a trip to Long Beach, WA with family. It was a great weekend. I couldn't wait to get out of dodge and at the end I was rested and ready to come home. I feel recharged to make it to the end of the year.
I am in week 3 of maintenance weaning myself off TSFL food. So far i have maintained well around 158 which seems to be my magic number. I did yoga daily on vacation without knee pain and I am able to jog again, granted only about 1.5 miles and slowly. It still feels good. I am looking forward to reading blogs today and getting caught up now that I am caught up with my work. It took 3 days after 2 weeks out of the office!
