Ready for something good

This has been a good week so far. Food has been on track and I have managed some exercise every day – even if it’s just walking a couple of miles in the ‘hood. I was a bit cranky yesterday morning, but overall my attitude has been pretty good. The boy and hub have been getting along – they even went to the movies together last night and left me home ALONE!!! Woo hoo!

This is going to be a busy weekend, so I decided to take a half day off of work tomorrow. I am having dinner guests Friday night, the boy has a tae kwon do test Saturday AM, then he has his birthday party/sleep over Saturday night. Sunday we are going to Lowe’s to pick out/pick up the stuff for the boy’s bathroom re-do. I have to admit, he has picked stuff I like too, and I am excited that we are getting to do something in there.

I am trying not to freak out about the fact that hub still isn’t working. We’re good for another 6-8 weeks. We have our tax return coming soon (as soon as I get the darn taxes done!) and his check in June. If we live a bit lean, we’re fine for quite a while. It means we can’t pay down bills the way I’d like or do some of the extras, but we’ll be okay. I keep telling myself that so I will not panic. I think the fact that I’m not panicking is helping to keep him on an even keel.

Next week I am going back to a more formal eating and exercise plan, but for now my habits are getting cleaned back up, and that’s certainly a step in the right direction.
