We had big plans for today. James and I cleaned the living room while Piper watched and Brad slept in the morning, in preparation for decorating for Christmas. At some point in the morning I placed my iPod on our Rubbermaid set of plastic drawers (the ones I keep all the soothers and bibs in) along with my mug of coffee. As I happened to look over, I saw Coffee (our cat) hop onto the drawers and prepare to jump over to the half wall that separates the entrance from the dining room. I act a second too slowly and the drawers, coffee (the tasty beverage) and ipod go every which direction. DEVASTATION! The coffee (again the tasty beverage) can be refilled. The ipod? $170 to fix or $180 for a new 8 gig. Coffee (the cat) is in the dog house.
I did not realize just how attached I have become to that handy little device until the lights went out on it. It has become my source of socialization while on maternity leave. I hate the telephone, even as a teenager. I'd rather text or email, facebook or tweet. More importantly than anything else, this time around with the baby, that little device (which I had named Harvey II) is my key to weight loss. My running program is on it as is my mobile weight watchers tracking. I find I will track my points much more easily and readily since it is right there. I'm not required to look points up for anything as it is all in my database. All points are kept track with no math work for me to do. I automatically know what my daily, weekly and activity points are at a glance. I can also keep track of my water intake and how many servings of each food group I have consumed. Tomorrow we have to take it back to the Apple Store and I will be without for a while. I'm actually panicking. I was doing so well and I don't know how I can keep my motivation up without it. Especially with the running. The helpful timer and beeping ensured I was learning to run correctly by slowly building up my endurance. Oh please people at Apple, be gentle. Harvey is worth an additional $170 to me because he is my life! Reason I opted to get Harvey fixed rather than replaced? Mine is a 32 gig. The Replacement would only be 8 gig and I enjoy having my entire cd collection and then some in my pocket, ;P
So despite my best intentions of grocery shopping and going for a run, I did neither as we ventured to the Apple Store for NOTHING. We have to go back tomorrow to drop it off (long story). Hopefully I can get one more run in before I have to give it up. Harvey is still operational, just no longer back lit, so very hard to see.
Food wise I did very good. While I did have a sub for dinner, we didn't take the easier way out of burger and fries or any other fast alternative since we didn't get out of Apple until 5:30.
Today was a crappy, frustrating day. It is now over. Tomorrow will be better. I know it will.
