Man, I can't believe it has been a week since my last post. This week has been one of the craziest, longest, most exhausting weeks at work I have ever had. I have barely been able to put one foot in front of the other by the time I get home at night, let alone sit in front of the computer and put my thoughts into words. I'm so glad the week is over, and today, I am going to relax and get a pedicure with my mom. She has been out of town a lot over the last month, and I haven't seen her much, so its going to be nice to spend some time with her.

Food wise, it was hard this week. Being so exhausted makes it difficult to even think about what I'm putting in my mouth. I did really well a few days. Other days, I'd start off well and then be eating something I shouldn't by the end of the day. Over all, I still lost weight this week, but I definitely didn't do as well as I could have. I didn't work out a single day. I'm just glad to have made it through the week alive.

On Monday, my mom and I are going to join gym and hopefully have our initial appointment with the trainer. Between recovering from her time out of town and taking care of things when she got home, my mom has also had a busy and exhausting week, and we kept pushing off our first appointment, but we HAVE to get this done. It is so much easier to work out with a partner, and it will also be easier now that the gym isn't at my apartment. I'm anxious to have my initial evaluation, even though I'm dreading having to be measured.

This weekend, I will make it a point to make sure that everything is done by Sunday night. Every piece of laundry will be folded and put away. Every dish will be clean. Every meal will be planned. I went into last week with a flexible, half-complete plan and a ton of chores left to do, and of course, I fell off track. Weeks as busy as last week require a lot of planning to be able to make it through in a healthy way, and you never know when you're going to have one of those weeks. It's too overwhelming to come home to undone laundry and no plan for dinner. Those are the moments when it becomes way to easy to mess up. So my goal for next week is to be well prepared for every day and every situation that can pop up.

Today, I will relax and enjoy my time with my mom, but tomorrow I will spend the whole day prepping for the week to come.
