Had a wonderful dinner last night at Monster Sushi. My daughter ordered fruit for dessert and immediately upon its arrival chose not to eat it. I wasn't going to have dessert but who could pass on beautiful fruit cut into flower shapes? Besides fruits are free. Anyway, scale says I'm back up to 165 although I don't think it was the fruit that put me over. As long as I keep it in check at today's St Pat's party I should be well on my way to losing this week and I really want to!! (Can you feel all that inspiration?) I'm hoping for at least 1lb plus.
Still working on my personal challenge of not grazing in the kitchen when I don't know what to do with myself. Had a few moments yesterday where I wanted to cry but feeling sad doesn't make me want to eat, boredom is my enemy. I didn't actually cry but felt a little down because my son's school is encouraging me to send him to school 5 mornings a week next year. After talking with my husband about it, I've decided I'm OK with it and that I will do as they are suggesting but I will cut down the days if its too much for him. A big piece of his childhood is over, I was feeling a little sad for him that he's going to start the Monday-Friday schedule everyone else is on. My little baby is not so little anymore.
Getting back to my inspiration and feeling inspired... This week I had to write a letter to my son's school. Its been so long since I HAD to write anything. I kind of enjoy writing, not because I am particularly good at it or anything but its enjoyable to me. I have not written anything in years -- I've been a homemaker for nearly 4 years now and before that I was a finance worker with minimal writing duties. Its been so long. I worry that part of my brain is dying because I'm not using it to its fullest capacity for long periods of time. Anyway, I was rereading older blog posts. I've decided that I am a pretty boring read. I think I may need to post more frequently to get more out of writing this. One of the reasons I started writing this is to improve myself by working on something outside my home and kids. I feel like when I find the time to write, it kind of just spills out and I don't ever really try to improve my writing. Perhaps if I write more frequently I'll get better at it and be a little more interesting. A girl can hope, right? I'm also considering letting people know the blog exists. Technically, its on the internet and anyone can read it but dare I actually tell anyone or invite them to read my thoughts. Ahhhh!
