Day 3 and post # 3 for the week

Ok a bit of a cheat but I do still have 3 posts in for the week even if I had to do 2 today. Ever have one of those days from hell. Well today is it for me...My husbands hard drive in his laptop crashed new part 70 bucks, I got maybe 4 hours of sleep and have to work graveyards oh caffiene please keep me awake tonight, my son falls in my bed and I stopped the fall with my face (ouch....still waiting to see if it bruises or not, still very tender.) Upside to today is hubby made dinner (left overs but still I did not have to make it). I hope to the good lord I sleep tomorrow! As far as watching what I eat today was so not the day...Hubby got me a double cheese burger from BK and onion rings for breakfast I guess you would call it, spaghetti for lunch and a candy bar and sodas at work tonight. Well there is always tomorrow.

Opps I missed a post last night

AHHHHHH I missed day 2 of my goal. Oh well I will do 2 posts tonight ;). So with my new philosphy I will not beat myself up for missing last night I will just make up for it tonight. We we made some awesome spaghetti sauce last night, it was a collaberation between my husband and I. That being said I could not tell you what all went into it because I asked him to taste it to see what it was missing and he doctored it up when my back was turned. Well let me tell you it tasted even better tonight and I hope the same will be true when I use the left overs (it made a huge batch!!!) to make Veggie lasagna on Sunday. What other crazieness happened yesterday oh yeah my son hit his preschool teacher and got time out.

Well here goes day 1 of my goal!

So last week I said my first mini-goal would be to blog atleast 15 minutes a day each day that I work. Well today is my monday so I have met it because here I am blogging. Wooohooo! We did well so far this week, we had one meal out, the rest have all been at home. Today was a very good meal day. I made everyone and egg and 2 slices of toast for breakfast. For lunch my hubby and son fended for themseleves and found turkey sandwiches and apples (I skipped because I was at the laundry mat and had to sleep when I got home to work the graveyard shift tonigt). For dinner my husband and I had steak, roasted corn on the cob, dinner salad and rice. My son had and apple and 2 bananas (his choice I made him a small version of our dinner but I think all he ate was the biscut on his plate....but I will not complain because he got 3 fruits in one meal), he might have nibbled on his salad but not much. I brought in left overs for work along with a huge bowl of watermellon and cantaloupe which I have eaten half of and now I am so stuffed I might be a bit sick to my stomach...Note to self stop eating before you get way to full! As I type that I stick 2 more pieces of watermelon into my mouth. I wish I were home sleeping right now! Well only 2 more weeks I think of the graveyard shift not sure how I feel about that one but I will get a 4 day weekend to transition from graveyards to days which will be kinda nice. Not so sure what else to write today, the holiday weekend could have been much worse food wise but I was pretty good.

And life gets in the way.....

Wow has it really been almost a month since I posted last. I guess so. Happy 4th to everyone. I will admit to the world I am sitting here eating the healthiest meal in the world right now, NOT! My dinner at 3am consists of chili dogs (yes I am having 2 of them) and a coke (not diet either). Atleast it is tasty. It has been a world wind of a month no exercise but atleast we are eating at home more thats a plus and I am really trying to get more fruits and veggies in the meals. I have been attending supervisor classes which have been really great. I think the one that will impact me the most was the class this week about time managment and balancing your work like with your home life. I know how to make a schedule and even a to do list. But the speaker was more about teaching you how to figure out what is important in you life and what is getting in the way. He also spoke about setting small goals and rewarding yourself for meeting your goals no matter the size of the goal. Thats the good of the month. Now for the bad.....My son got out of the house this week while I was at work, he is fine and we have taken steps to prevent it from happening again. However I wish people who don't even know me or my family would but out. I don't spread gossip/stories or crap about you around town. Kindly do the same for me. Beacause honestly the next person who isn't a friend I am about ready to tell them to take a flying leap!!!(Oh and thats putting it nicely). We feel bad enough about what happened please just let us deal with it and move forward. So my small goals for next week.....30 minutes of exercise on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. Blog for 15 minutes each night that I work. Thats all I am setting for now.
