Today is closing day on the house!
Today is the house closing. Finally, after months of searching, several offers that fell through, and many anxious nights of trying to not picture myself in my house, in a matter of hours it will all be over. And while we are not moving in for a few weeks, at least it will be ours and no one can take that away from us. Big ball of stress that sits on my chest can finally go away. *whew*
But, that means I won't be online, won't be posting. To be honest, I haven't turned on my laptop at home in over four days. And on Sunday, I forgot my iPhone and was disconnected from the entire world for a whole day. It felt...wonderful. I have decided to "forget" my phone more often and drop the electronic leash that I've given myself.
So, diet-wise things are going to get crazy. I will do my best to make good choices and eat on schedule, but I fear that I will get too hungry because I will forget to stay on my eating times while we get the house ready. I am very regimented when it comes to eating...only at specific times of day do I eat so that I can control myself. If I get hungry between times, I tough it out because I get to eat again at "this" time. It works for me, but I fear that with everything that will be going on, I'll get too busy or forget to eat on time and then be too hungry and make a bad choice. *fingers crossed* I think I shall start carrying some of my healthy snacks in the car (the ones that don't melt) so I can hopefully avoid that.
This may be my last post for a while. I need to concentrate on packing up the apartment and getting the house ready, so that means there won't be much "spare" time. Ends up we're replacing all the flooring in the house with wood laminate...and though I would prefer to hire someone else to do the install, to save money we're doing it ourselves. This is a huge undertaking since it's a 2300 sq ft house. I am not looking forward to it...but I will enjoy the end product so I am just biting my tongue and stocking up on Aleve for my back. Let's just say Dr. Woosley (my chiropractor) is going to be seeing me for a while once we're done with this move. *lol*
So, other than weigh-in updates, I'll be gone. Good luck to the rest of you and keep up the good work. I'm sure I'll have lots of good blogs to catch up on when I get back.
Miss you already!
