OFF THE WAGON but... Oh Well.
I can't dwell on the mistake of the weekend. I can say that there is no food log for Saturday, Sunday or Monday. I started out Monday pretty good but between the dentist and not getting anything done in the house I wound up eating a bit more than I should have. I ate 2 WW ice Creams and hummus and pita chips. Not too too bad but not great.
Ok now that is over...time to move on. I can say that I made a great choice on Sunday. I needed to get my grandmom's and parent's newspaper since they were out of town. I walked to my grandmom's and back and then to my parents. Granted my grandmom is only about a half a mile away and my parents are about 2 houses away. I would typically drive. The thing is I live in the country. I am talking walk on the white line and no shoulder kid of country. I asked my husband if I should take the baby but we decided no since it would not be safe. WHen she went for her nap, off I went. Great decision.
Today I was going to stop and get a latte after the dentist. Not too bad unless you are like my and only like full fat caramel latte. I seem to have no self control and I order the large. I told myself that this would only be my treat on grocery day. That would be Wednesday and not today. I decided that I would forego the latte and only have it on my shopping day. Good decision number 2.
Finally, I spent about an hour making a very pretty house cleaning checklist. I have read on fly lady and other various websites about homemanagement notebooks. I have always tried to make one. Problem, I am a perfectionist. I could have spent that hour cleaning and been done. I realized when I was in the shower that I have routines and there really is no need to make a cleaning list to go in a binder. Meal plan on Tuesday, grocery on Wednesday, Clean on Saturday, wash towels every 3 days, and do laundry when I need. Cook and clean up kitchen daily. So tomorrow my plan is to clean the house and not spend time organizing and planning how to clean the house. Lesson learned when the light bulb came on.
Awesome decision making!!!
