Grocery store marathon begins.

Good morning!

What a blah day yesterday.  Horrible weather, horrible shopping (for my eldest's new work wardrobe).  The stores were packed and understaffed and slow and, and, and.  Yuck.  But he's all set with new clothes.

The highlight of my day was getting my eyebrow back to eyebrows lol!  I was way overdue and boy did I paid the pain price.  But all pretty now.

Eating was compliant - a bit too much at night and I need to say good-bye to raw apples (another gassy misery night) but overall ... good.  I need to do a better "good" these next three days.  The weekend is gearing up to be lots more eating (particularly sweets) than originally planned.  Everyone is bringing goodies (homemade and speciality).  Rude to decline, hard to stop at one and little willpower in the bank.  Ugh.

Today begins the grocery store marathon getting the refrigerator stocked for my family and for the weekend.  I waited until the stores had time to restock (hopefully).  The list is long my friends.

The run was HARD yesterday.  I don't know if it was the junk eating or going to one day of running.  I'll have to explore it.  I don't want to lose cardiovascular fitness.  Unfortunately, my knee hurts after running.  I might try a go without my brace - maybe more harm than good now.  Today is the noon lifting.  It feels like such a long wait to workout.  I'm going to fit in some errands ahead.

That's it in a nutshell.  Hubby has a cold and kept me up all night coughing.  I feel like I dodged the "sick" bullet so many times this year - I hope my luck continues.  I'm run-down.  Mentally. Physically.  That's not a good combination for me.

I am looking forward to an awesome weekend with my friends, but I have to admit, I'm also looking forward to it being over.  I will have a break for 3 weeks until the crazy builds again.  I need a refill, reboot ... some ME time ... some "regular" days.  More on the added crazy for February later (it filled quickly).  It's a reminder that while I need to add VARIETY, say YES, work on MHP ... I also need to have that BALANCE.  Too far in either direction is not optimal.  I won't complain.  I've had some fantastic moments and no regrets.  But I need to remember to schedule some more downtime between the crazy.

Later gators!
