Week 15 - Focusing on Other things

I've been trying to step away from the computer this week. Sure it is my only link currently to the outside world and how I stay in touch with friends but I am slowly coming to the realization that I am not SuperMom and I can't do it all.

Monday was a good day. Didn't do the dvd thing. I did the cleaning thing. Monday's are perfect for that. Get as much done between naps. Don't need to exercise because it is aerobics night.

I inadvertently had an hour nap in the morning on Tuesday. I put James down, went to make our bed and laid down in it thinking I'd just get up when his fishy aquarium stopped. Ummm....there is a reason those things are made to put baby to sleep. I woke up an hour later when James did. Tee hee! That's okay. We made up for it though. After lunch James and I went for a 3.27mile long walk. Gained three activity points for our efforts. Ran into an old teacher from high school. Music teacher. Great guy. But what a talker ;) our usual hour and half long walk ended up being three hours. Of course James and I did stop off at the drugstore and the bank. It is called git r' done! (ugh) Dinner was homemade enchiladas. Mmmm....a Weight Watchers recipe that is quite good. Had two and was more than enough for me.

Today did the dvd thing. Eating is going well. I've figured out how to allot my points better for each meal. 6 for breakfast. 6 for lunch. Leaving 12 for dinner. This way I can get in a fruit/vegetable and a milk in lunch and breakfast, leaving dinner easy enough to plan for knowing exactly how many points I need to use. Makes planning for the day easy. Great...what am I going to do when I break out of the 180's and lose another point?! Of course, at this rate, I won't have to worry about that for another three months. Grrrrr....
