I know where I went wrong. It is amazing that once you start a binge you have trouble stopping yourself. I had to buy a cake for a coworker's birthday so I bought a cookie cake. I had 2 pieces. I thought on the way home that I would just exercise and move on from that. Hubby was home when I got home so he was downstairs. Instead of kicking him out of the basement and making him take the little one, I played with her, fed, her, and then cooked dinner. I ate dinner and then decided I needed cheese and crackers. I had a serving or 6...I just kept eating.
I know where I went wrong and tomorrow is another day. I can work on those things then. It will not be another 61.5 point day. I can move forward from a bad day when I do not think in terms of weeks. I would typically just do whatever I want until Sunday or Monday and start over then. I am learning to start over now.
This is a relatively boring blog about m y journey to lose weight, learn to manage my time as a mother and wife and teacher, and learn to cope with my role as mom. Really you probably would not want to read unless you are in need of a nap. It has now evolved into more of a random collection of thoughts and ideas.

Accomplishments and Days not Weeks
So today was a snow day. Yippee for snow. I started the day off very productive which was my goal. I made egg and sausage cups for breakfast for the remainder of the week. I also made a batch of green beans for Meredith. I unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher. I sat down to get some work done and realized it was about time for Meredith to have lunch so I woke her. She had been asleep for 3 hours so I really felt she needed to be up. I changed poopy diapers and fed her lunch. She proceeded to go right back to sleep. Ok, great...I went out and shoveled the driveway. There's my exercise. Then I came in to shower and dry my hair. This is where I screwed up. I dropped the soap (baby still asleep), I dropped the hair dryer (baby still asleep), I dropped my brush (baby still asleep), I accidentally let the cabinet door slam...I see little eyes peering at me when I walked into the hallway. She stayed awake the remainder of the day. SHe would fuss on and off so I really was not able to get anything more done before I needed to make dinner. Oh well. I am proud of what I accomplished.
Now I have been tracking this journey or at least trying to track it in terms of weeks. This is just not working for me. When I mess up I figure I might as well start over next week. I can;t keep doing that so no more weeks for me, only days. I will think in terms of days. I will look at the weekly part only for the weekly allowance, which I am trying not to use. I will also still weigh in officially once a week. I might weigh more when the mood strikes me. So there it is. I will update the food journal as I have time but I am not going to stress about it.
