Hello! It’s been a week! We arrived home from Missouri a week ago today, and I have been sick pretty much since we got back. Needless to say, I never really got back into the swing of things as far as tracking nutrition, drinking all of my water, and focusing on my healthy living goals in general.
I did weigh myself the day after we got home from our vacation and I was up about 4 pounds, which was to be expected. I just weighed in this morning and I’m still up 2 pounds. That’s not bad considering that I didn’t do anything to try to lose weight this week since I’ve been sick with a chest and head cold. It is however far from my April goal of losing 5-10 pounds this month.
To be fair, I did set my April weight-loss goal before I knew we would be traveling to Missouri to visit my sister for a week. Had I known, my goal for the month would have been to maintain my weight-loss from March. I still have a few days to lose the rest of my “vacation weight” before the end of the month and that’s the new goal.
It will definitely be a challenge this next month to focus on my goals, because I have so much to focus on. It’s the end of the school year (like, how?!) and so I am prepping for the BOGO Book Fair at the school. I have about 100 tomato plants that I need to up-pot in the basement under grow lights and an entire garden to plan.
My husband and I are also considering replacing the roof on our garage, and possibly starting a treehouse project for the girls. We have a lot we’re trying to focus on and when that tends to happen, the focus on my healthy living goals tend to take a back seat. I’m going to try to not let that happen, and blogging is a part of my accountability. I’ll write more soon!
