Home

I am indeed finally home!  I am not super happy about it.  LOL  I would much rather be down in sunny FL soaking up the sun, sitting in that big pool, and hangin' with the fam.  Instead, I'm back home and back to the real world.  Bleh.  Sucks, but it is what it is!  Can you tell we had a good time?  teehee!  We really did have a good time!  And I guess some small part of me is probably happy to be home, but I'm not feeling it.  I guess mostly because good ol' TN has never really felt like home to me.  Even though middle TN is where I was born and raised.  But is that because TN isn't right or because I haven't given it as much of a chance as I should've?  I'm not sure anymore.  All I know is, I already miss FL.  I just love the lifestyle down there.  I'm not sure what exactly it is that appeals, but it just felt so good to be down there and away from the drama of here.  Maybe that's the real appeal!  LOL

SO, as I promised, I weighed in.  I actually weighed in yesterday when I got up from my nap.  The number is............... 206.  I'm okay with that!  That's a 5.5lb. gain, but overall I don't think that is bad since I pretty well ate what I wanted but tried to not be horrid.  I also started my cycle.  So, overall, I am not feeling bad at all with that number with an afternoon weight, after vacay, AND starting my cycle!  :D  And did I mention I'm sick?  UGH.  I got some sort of cold while down there, and I was fine until the night before we were flying home.  I'd run a fever one night, but it had gone as quick as it had come.  But the night before flying home, I was up coughing all darn night!  As a result, I feel like crud today.  I'm sure that has bearing on weight, too.  Either way, I'm not concerned and like I said, I feel pretty good with that number.

So, what's the plan now?  Well, first and foremost we have to re-stock the entire house.  The fridge is so empty, it looks like a ghostland!  We actually ended up doing take-out last night just because there wasn't a single thing to eat other than some old sweet potatoes, onions, and condiments.  LOL  And anything the housesitter left.  Which I won't eat!  Not that she's gross or anything, just not the type of things I eat.  She's young and a college kid, but overall her food was good.  Just not what I eat.  I also have a lot of cleaning to do.  Overall, the house isn't bad but I knew there would be some build up after being gone for two weeks and someone different staying in my house.  She did ok, but it's just not the same as me being here and doing the cleaning.  I really should do it today, but I just can't.  I feel like crud.  Maybe tomorrow.

Plan of action?  Get back to better eating and make more time for exercise.  I did a TON of walking in FL and believe it or not, it wasn't too hard!  I thought I would drop dead but really, it wasn't bad at all.  But I still feel like I need to be doing more.  I need to have my exercise more focused and more about me.  I just have to find the time.  Hopefully I can make it during nap time.  lol  That was working pretty well for a while and then it all went to crap and it needs to come back.  I am also hoping that now that we've conquered FL with youngest, he will be able to ride in the stroller more for park walks.  I'm just not a runner.  Walking is what feels good to me and that's what I'm going to do.  Just got to find a good time and make it a habit!  Eating should be better once I finally have groceries.  The hubbs is going to the store in a bit, actually, so I should be able to eat better the rest of tonight and tomorrow.  Hopefully I can go back to low tomorrow.  I actually ate pretty low at breakfast!  LOL  But we will be eating leftovers for lunch here in a bit and I know that won't be very low.  LOL  But dinner should be.

Well, I really should get off of here and do some lunch for me and the boys.  I'm not starving, but I don't want to get to that point with being sick.  It knocks my whole eating when I'm hungry thing off.  Plus I hate to be wasteful.  So, off I go to feed everyone and try to rest.  I will attempt to start trying to catch up on blogs later today.  But I am behind by almost two weeks so I don't think I will be able to!  But I will try!  Later chickies.
