Still Doin' OK...and Tales from the School Yard
Our off-line group met last night and I was miraculously down 3 pounds. The scale we use for the group and my home scale don't jive at all, so I never know how I'm going to do. I knew that at the beginning of the week I had gone down some, but by the end things had probably crept back up. I did drag myself back to the gym a few times, but not as much as I should have.
My schedule is still kind of messed up. Kids started back to school today, but since we homeschool that only means more things for me to try and fit into my day. lol Screws up my ability to go with a friend, too...which I hate. If my guys were in school we could just drop them off and head straight to the gym. As it stands right now I'm waiting for my brother (who lives with us) to start his new shift at work. I'm going to try to hit the gym at 7:30 am, while he's home to be with the boys, and then head home and start school for 9 am. This may in fact work well, but I'm not sure if he's game....and I"m also not sure I can do 7:00 wake-up. Seriously, you're talking to the girl that normally sleeps well past 9:30 am on a good day. In the summer all bets are off! This comes from... a) being a homeschooler and not having to conform to the school's schedule and b) working late into the night while the children are sleeping. Over the years we've all just started getting up later and later. I'll need to do some major interal clock re-adjusting to switch to being a morning person and heading to the gym first thing. To be honest, though, there for a couple of weeks during the summer my girlfriend and I were doing our workouts at 9 am and although I hated the getting up...I did love the feeling of starting my day with the workout. I found that I got it out of the way and I didn't have to worry about it for the rest of the day. It also gave me energy first thing in the morning and I found that I seemed to accomplish a whole lot more with my day than I normally would/could.
Anyway, this morning was our first day of homeschool for the year. Things went pretty well, but we had the usual clash of wills that comes from having the entire summer off. The.."Why do I have to do that? How many pages...that's crazy?" and stuff like that. Once we get into our routine everything will be fine. 
The one major thing I've noticed is that the more organized I am...the more anal about planning and such...the more I accomplish and the better that I feel about myself and my day. Despite the fact that I woke up at 3:45 with a full blown migrane and slept in to late as a result of the medication..we still had a pretty terrific day. Well, all except for the part where the dog escaped and I thought she was going to get hit by a car. Other than that (she's safe and sound by the way), it was a great day.
Hope you're having a great day, too!
