Oh! My! Goodness! Tomorrow is Monday, August 20th. It is the first day of school for my kids and I am treating it as my 1st day too! Not my 1st day of school but the 1st day in my new chapter in the book of My Health Journey. To prepare myself I decided I need to be more organized. Not perfect, but better than I have been in the past. In doing so, I will be able to be more consistent in planning, scheduling, and managing my time, my health, and my emotions. It may sound weird to mention my emotions, but, yes, my emotions. When I am well prepared, I do not stress out, I do not get tempted to stress eat. When I am well prepared, I able to handle life's hick-ups much more easily. The little black table on picture on the bottom right is what my desk looked like. I "managed" to do all my work on that little table. Not much room, but I made it work, and handled one thing at a time as best I could. Sometimes I wanted to have a book open, my laptop open, and a notebook a...

Today I skipped breakfast. Lunch consisted of a Costco polish dog and a slice of pepperoni pizza. Following lunch we went to the movies and watched, "Turbo." Let me add I had soda and popcorn at the movie theater. Picture source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grown_Ups_%28film%29 The late afternoon and evening was not much better.

It's June, half way through 2011 already? This is a busy month for me, my school term ends this month and summer school starts the same month. My little man graduates from preschool, a big milestone for him and me. As a mother, I am so happy to see him reach these milestones and at the same time am sad to see him grow up so fast. My baby girls will be going into day care one day a week just to give me a breathing break. What I will do in those three long/short hours, I have not totally decided yet. I want to catch up on educational reading, or maybe start the "Couch to 5K" program, or maybe pick up a copy of Jillian Michael's "Master Your Metabolism Cookbook" or the "Unlimited", or sleep, ... like I said, I have not decided yet. Whatever I decided to do, it will not be to catch up on housework. Not that I intend on neglecting it, it will get done as it always is.
