I'm finding it very difficult after my yoga class. I really enjoy the class. But I come home and I'm SO hungry and tired. It's really hard not to eat whatever is sitting in the snack cupboard.
Last night I think I did okay. I had a bowl of cereal and the last 2 meringue cookies. Camille brought in cookies and brownies for our working sessions yesterday afternoon. I was so late for work yesterday that I didn't really have time to bring good snacks with me. I ate all my food and I was starving come 4 o'clock when the meeting was over. So I had one of the cookies. One of the 3.5 ounces cookies. It was an oatmeal cranberry and it was WONDERFUL. Actually quite filling. But that ate up a lot of my points so I didn't have that many for dinner when I came home. I ended the day 2 veggies short and a few points shy of target too (depending upon just how much that cookie was). I didn't feel hungry when I went to bed though, so I'm not too worried about it.
I really need to go grocery shopping. I'm starting to run low on staples. I'm really starting to feel that I don't have enough time. And it's not because I'm sitting in front of the TV scratching my butt. I have something going on every night of the week. And I don't feel like I can cut anything. I have yoga on Mondays, which I LOVE. Tuesday I see Dr. D. Wednesday is games or guild or this week it is SCUBA class. Thursday is Weight Watchers. The yoga center is starting a Friday night meditation class in September and I want to go to that too.
But with something going on every day of the week. And then seeing Erik on the weekends, I'm feeling that I have no time to just sit. And no time to do chores. The litter box is a disaster. I still haven't moved the new beta fish into his new tank. I haven't vacuumed in a month, let alone clean the bathrooms. My plants are all dying. The stack of bills and receipts on my desk is ready to fall over it's so high. The balance has been tipped. I went from feeling that I was home alone with nothing to do to feeling that I'm never home.
I'm hoping that the long weekend coming up will help. It will give me time to clean. To pay bills. To catch up. I need to stock my kitchen and I need to have some meals ready to go. Coming home at 7 is too late for me to begin cooking. I'm a bit worried about September. It's a really busy month and it hasn't even started yet.
