Finally the work week is over. Not sure what it was, but this week seemed to
take for-ev-er. I like my job, but have
a sneaking suspicion that I would like staying home aka not working more. One of these days, I will make that dream a
reality. Until then, I have to enjoy
every minute of my weekends. Believe me,
I do. Even when I have no plans, which
is the norm, I enjoy good old rest and relaxation.
We usually rise around 6am on the weekends and today was no
exception. We watched television for an
hour and then called my sister to see if her husband was home or working
overtime. He was at work, so we went
over to play with my nephew. We brought
doughnuts. It’s something we do when we
have an early morning play date. I want
to break that habit, as it’s not good for any of us. Today I was weak. Which has kind of been by theme for a while
now.
Weakness is what I call it when I know what the right choice
is but give in to my own temptations.
This is why I am obese. This week
hasn’t been the start I was hoping for.
I’m more than disappointed, but then see what I did this morning. Sometimes I feel like I am in a deep hole and
can’t get out. A hole, where magically,
rope ladders keep appearing for me to climb out (like I could ever pull myself
up on a rope ladder), but I keep pulling the rope ladders to the ground and
whine about being stuck in a deep hole.
I won’t eat poorly the rest of the day just because I had
two doughnuts this morning and tomorrow is the start of a new week. I may not lose weight tomorrow, but today
will not be a blow out. Also, let’s not
forget the declaration I made yesterday about walking. It looks like I might be walking in the rain,
but I will do it. At least ten minutes,
that is the plan. I’ll do it! I’ll send
a comment from my phone later today after I have walked.
Alright, so my plan today is eat healthier the rest of the
day, take a walk, do some cleaning and relax.
Plans for tomorrow are the same, with the addition of prepping some food
for the week. Right now, this is about
all the energy I have for weekends, hopefully as weight comes off I can enjoy a
more active life.
What are your plans for the weekend? Do you ever take a nap on the weekend? Enjoy.
Please don't be too hard on yourself. Tomorrow is another day to try. I usually don't take naps but the weather was so dreary today that I couldn't resist!
ReplyDeleteThanks Katrin. Next week will be better, I just wish I made more of an effort to have a great first week. BTW, the sky opened up at just poured all afternoon. Instead of walking outside, I exercised at home for 12 minutes. Not much, but it's what I can do now and I am happy I did at least that. Have a great Sunday!
