Yesterday I was so happy about the plan to be able to attend Weight Watchers meetings on Wednesday's after boot camp. It was going to involve a lot of driving, but it was going to be okay, it was going to be alone time and as one of my readers pointed out, time to blast MY music for a change. I even figured out where I was going to be able to park without having to pay for it AND get lunch to bring to the meetings. Someone decided to change the day of the meeting to Thursday instead of Wednesday meaning two out of three meetings I will have to figure out what to do with the kids. Bright side? I can still park at the mall and get Subway as planned. Down side? I really don't want to bring James and Piper with me. Yes, I'm sure if I asked my parents would watch them for me, how ever I hate always asking and I really don't want to drive them all the way into their house, back across the mountain to the meeting, back again to get them and then back again to take them home. Two days in a row just isn't worth it. Small change and big issue for me. Dammit!'
Still motivated today. Yesterday went well. Went for a run and completed the Fit4Females M.O.M. challenge at home. For dinner I made home made Sheppard's Pie. It is a Weight Watchers recipe I learned when I first joined that I tweaked slightly to be clean. The recipe calls for Instant mashed potatoes, which I actually prefer, but I used real mashed. More of a pain in the ass to make, especially when Brad is on nights, as he was last night, but a better option. I enjoy Sheppard's Pie, especially on cold winter days, however James is turning into quite the picky eater. Lately anything I make is a "yucky dinner". I'm not one for making him stay at the table until everything is done, I do insist however that he at least try it. It has been a struggle especially when Brad is working the night shift and I'm trying to get James to eat dinner while at the same time keeping Piper happy. One of life's challenges with two kids and the husband's new job.
I've gotten into a routine. Life just works right now (with the Weight Watchers meeting exception), I am terrified of going back to work, and the new challenges that will go along with it, and then again when James will start junior kindergarten in September. We'll save the blog for another day, stay positive now and just roll with the punches that come my way now.
Today is a day of rest as far as running is concerned. I do plan on the challenge again later tonight after the kids are in bed. Left over Sheppard's Pie again tonight wither James likes it or not.
