OK, so I finally made up for the last few lame weeks of dieting, and I lost 2.6 pounds this week, for a total to date of 39.2 pounds down. However, I’m still definitely not on track. I haven’t worked out for WEEKS, and have been slacking on my walks at work. I don’t really log my food anymore, BUT, I do feel like I have a good handle on it. I know the right decisions to make – and when I make the wrong ones, it’s usually intentionally, and knowingly. My new mission in life was to be more on top of keeping the house clean/picked up, REALLY cooking and getting out of the “box” rut that I’d been in and really taking some time to myself to wind down at night. Of course, all of that meant literally NO time for working out. I want to continue all of the above, but I just don’t know how to do that, AND fit in my workouts. If I can get the girls to bed ON TIME, every night, I can get myself into bed, watch my 2 shows to wind down, and get to bed at a decent time. Then, get up a little early (or, maybe even just ON TIME) and do my workout then. Otherwise, I just need to go back to doing my workout right after I put the girls down and just get back to being diligent about it. Time to get back to it!

Amelia was up WAY too early this morning, so there was no sleeping in on my “day off”. But, we did get in some quality time before Olivia woke up, and all hell broke loose. They were pretty much at each other’s throats all day long, and not listening to anything, so it was a really frustrating day. It makes me SO ANGRY! Yes, ANGRY! They are so good at school, and they are SO good when you are with them, one on one, but as soon as they’re together, it’s like two colliding tornados. I don’t get it. I just DO.NOT.GET.IT. There has to be some solution out there, I just wish I knew where to start.

I did manage to get them to eat, got them ready and we made our way to Target. We needed a few things to get through the weekend, and I picked up a few clearance Halloween items. We didn’t get to decorate this year for Halloween, because our storage area is jam packed with stuff we moved out of the spare room a month or so ago, so hopefully next year we can get back on it!

Once home, it was time for lunch and naps. Finally, some peace and quiet! I spent nap time catching up on the DVR and my super out of date blog. I started dinner shortly after they woke up…we repeated last month’s Sweet N Sour Chicken and Fried Rice, Take-Out Fake-Out meal, and it was again, delicious! YUM, one of our new faves for sure.

Christian and I were both pretty tired by the time the girls went to bed. I had a long, stressful day with the girls; he had a super busy day at work. One of our local casino’s is going to start selling alcohol (I think they were the only one that didn’t), and Christian’s work is their distributor, so they’ve been swamped this week getting them started. That’s a great, HUGE new client for them, pretty exciting.

Nothing else interesting really happened today. The sky was really eerie on my way home tonight, so I snapped a picture of it...
