Really, it has been a week since I posted a journal. Been reading and replying when I have time but my time has been weird lately. I am luck to find time to log food some days and I have been here but doing work on the business alot. Yesterday we went shopping at Sam's Club in Augusta and that is an hr drive each way then when I get home and was unloading / putting things away I get a call from the school that they did not know what was an appropriate consequence for my DS. Really, he might have Asperger's but that does not mean he cannot/should not have consequences at school. SMH So needless to say I told the VP my thoughts and that they should make these decisions themselves in the future. The kid threw something at an Ed Tech when told to get off the table they supplied. His words he tossed it to her. Her claim is thrown. My explanation to DS was that tossed or thrown were not appropriate ways to treat the tablet or Adult. That he needs to use his ears and words to avoid issues in the future. He did get himself settled without mom having to go to school and help or bring him home because he was too far gone. So kudos there to him but really should never allow him downtime on the tablet if they want the end of that *downtime* to go well. That is what I said to the options the teacher gave students. I know some kids work faster than others but you should have appropriate educational choices not just an electronic babysitter. Grrrrrr

All of these things waylaid my workout and when I finally got there the gym was full of the wrestling team look at the fat middle aged woman with ridicule and scorn, making me feel like a distraction. So after 30 mins of cardio I resigned to come home and stretch out and try and chill... DS in the meantime had come home and not done his chores left and was in a pissy mood over coming home to additional consequences. So, he ended up blowing up and getting further consequences due to being disrespectful. SMH the rest of the night was a loss.

So after a short workout yesterday, I spent extra time at the gym this morning only 15 extra mins but no kids in the gym and the power was out well i knew if i went home the heat had not run because we had not kicked it up upon waking just wrestled the kids to breakfast and dressing etc before getting them out the door to school. DH drops me off to the HS and I have to walk a block to the gym of a morning power out 15 mins after I arrived just as I started legs/abs after getting off the 15 min 2 mile elliptical session. Sad when a 70 yr old man does 40 mins on the elliptical at a higher pace than me. :O I pushed through the final 1/4 mile to make the time / distance i wanted. I stayed til power came back on and when I got home it literally went out again to mock me as if I should have stayed longer than 1.5 hrs at the gym. I had walked home on top of that. LOL

I need to get back to losing weight i have teeter tottered at the same 3 lbs for the past 4 weeks and it is frustrating. though today was measurement day and those numbers were far more satisfying.

Tomorrow the gym will be a welcome sight after 2 days away and I only did cardio and stretching on Friday and thus far for the weekend I have just taken care of business/party/family/self. Today is an almost do nothing day. No errands. no demands unless there are customers and that is better than fighting kids or angry husbands because kids are being do nothings. LOL I solved part of that by allowing DD to go to the BF's house for the afternoon. DH is not as pleased with it but better than a grumpy DD and thus fighting with DS because of her inability to go and I did not want another day where I felt on high alert like yesterday during my FIL 80th party. It went well but that does not mean there is not a level of stress. We all needed the calm today. So I am working on some sit down things for the business and reading FB, chatting with friends and probably will call my mother a little bit later.

Yesterday I felt this need deeply:

This is the mindset I have moving into the week and life ahead:

So, for now I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday. I know I am. Enjoy!

taking the weekend off working out because they gym closed long before I could ever make it there and they are closed tomorrow. I may find some yoga time tomorrow or a walk but i am not stressing. I am also not logging today as i grazed all day during the party. it was at my house so i could not escape it. I stuck to mostly raw veggies and thing but had bites of pumpkin pound cake and other *low carb* goodies that were brought. Funny that I was the one that made the carb filled goodies. lol

Oh well long day over I am vegging the rest of the night.
