Day 18: Back on Track With the Blog, Now it's My Turn

Everything seems to be back on track. Except for me. The only thing that is broken other than the laptop is my drive. I am a person that has some OCD tendencies I won't lie. One of those is that I have to be on a schedule. Everything flows so much better if you are on a schedule. My new one was getting up in the morning to exercise, then run and do my errands, pick up the kids, cook dinner, spend time with everyone till bedtime, and then clean the house once everyone is in bed. This is the best schedule for me but over the past couple of days I had to let it go and my motivation went right along with it. So how am I going to get it back?

My first step was being able to blog again. I can't sleep great unless I blog. It makes everything better. Then I cleaned the house tonight. Now I am ready for tomorrow and it is already mapped out. Normally as soon as I get off my schedule I just give up. I almost did today too until John told me to quit beating myself up. He even was going to go on a walk with me tonight but it just got too late. It feels good to know that he is stepping up and going to take becoming healthy seriously. He is even going to go to the gym. I am so proud of him. He is going to turn back the clock...now just gotta get the smoking to go away and he will be so much healthier!

I have seen a couple people have goals other than an actual number. So now I will have one. By Valentines Day (well the weekend before) I will be back in my Wranglers so I can look good for our Valentines Day. John went over the top last year for my gift and now this year it is his turn. He has no idea what I am doing but for the people who have him as a friend on Facebook I am sure he will post it when he sees his present. He has done so much for us and never wants me to do much for him but this time I am and I don't care what he has to say :) Also I want to thank everyone who has kept tabs on him and making sure we were all ok, that means a lot.

Exercise: Housework
Meals:
Breakfast: Cereal in lowfat milk
Lunch: KFC sandwich and potato wedges
Dinner: My kick-butt chili that I started making at 9 this morning!

So on tomorrows blog you will see the calorie count and everything again. I have to cut this short because the storms are rolling in and if the power goes out and I lose this blog I will not be happy!

Tomorrow is another day! And another blog!
