While I haven't blogged every day as I had hoped, I have at least had a great time the last few days to justify it! I took Thursday and Friday off and the weather cooperated and it has been a great 4 days! On Thursday I chaperoned my oldest's class to the Washington History Museum. That was a lot of walking around and I ate well all day too. Friday was "me" day. I started off with Zumba, had a pedicure, lunch with a friend and got my hair done. That night, my 9 year old spent the night at his grandparents house which gave me some 1-on-1 time with the baby (if you can still call 15 months a baby!) and then some much needed quiet time after he went to bed! Saturday was the nicest day we have had in Seattle in 9 months!! No kidding, I heard it on the news - 9 months since we have had weather that nice. It was crystal clear, temps well into the 70's, nice, nice, nice! So had a workout at the gym and then after my dental appointment I took the boys to the pool and spent a couple of hours playing in the water and soaking up the sun. Today is calm day. Had an outdoor service at church followed by a BBQ and games. Now I know I need to work on some laundry and cleaning but I think I'm just going to curl up with my book for a while.
Anyway, I didn't spend the weekend obsessing on my weight, my activity level, or my food choices. I just got up and got moving and made pretty decent choices overall. I'm interested to see what my weigh-in does tomorrow. It will be 2 weeks since the last one.
I just re-read what I wrote and realized I pretty much just gave a step-by-step of my weekend but didn't get into any deep feelings or make any great breakthroughs or revalations and you know, it's because I didn't have any! I really didn't do "deep" the last 4 days. Other than a couple of notable exceptions on Thursday I tried to keep the rest of the weekend surface-level and relaxed and I am far better today for having done so. Even though I didn't get to take any naps, or do any meditation, I feel more rested and refreshed than I have in a long time. The time I've spent with my boys has been a little slice of heaven this weekend.
