Back, again

 Another crazy weekend that ended in self sabotage. All I can say is that t got a HUGE service award this past weekend in our hobby organization - it was a lot of work to get things ready and keep it a surprise. Also, he put in his notice at work and starts a new job next week. I'm happy for him, but change is hard for me and this is going to cause significant changes in our daily schedule. Right now he commutes 90 minutes one way, 3 times per week and works at home the other 2. New job is 25-30 minute commute one way, but he goes in every day.

He hasn't been going to the gym at all - hasn't even been bothering to ride the exercise bike at home. After my come to jesus 2 weeks ago, he is riding the bike (sometimes) but no gym. With the commute excuse removed, we'll see. Also, we planned to sell our house next spring and move to the coast, now that's up in the air since the new job is NOT remote. 

So, big changes, lots of unknowns, stress. 

I just keep trying.

Rough weekend

 I was feeling tired and stressed this weekend, and it was reflected in my eating. Today I am getting the week kicked off on a more positive note!

Return to normalcy

 Overall a pretty good week. Struggling to get back into kettlebells weirdly enough, but swimming and going to Planet Fitness for the elliptical, so calling exercise a win. Weight is down 1.6 pounds, so yay. Eating is getting back to normal.

Mom's gardenia bushes were gorgeous, so I was happy to come home to find my (much smaller) shrubs also blooming. Gardenias are my favorite flower.


My hydrangea is blooming - I wish I could capture the amazing, deep blue.


A couple of weeks ago my son had to get a pretty big shark off the line that a passenger caught. This week he caught one of his own:


Have a great weekend!

Back

 We took mom home last weekend. She is doing amazing and the doctor discharged her! So things around here are beginning to settle back in to a routine. I'm glad.

Weight was up & down for a lot of her visit, but I think I'm back headed in the right direction.
