has been a roller coaster to say the least. It started out wonderfully, my mom was able to visit with us for a few days. While we ate out a lot (my mom only gets to eat out and nice places when she is with us) I still had a wonderful time. Now I need to refocus my work on getting the rest of the weight off. We finally got the treadmill we've been hoping for, and while we have had it for a few weeks, the only time I've stepped on it was to get something out of the room its in. So my goal for today and for this week it to restart the C25K program (since now I'll have access to a treadmill unlike before when I would hope to be able to return to the gym). I'm working on our menu plan for this week, which will be full of chicken meals I suspect and eating from our pantry.
We had a scare with the government with the possibility of the shutdown. It was horrible to stress and stress about if your husband was going to receive his pay check so that we could pay our bills and buy food for ourselves. But at least we know that he will be paid in full on the 15th. Now the 1st of the month is still questionable, since the budget is not finalized yet it is just another extension of sorts. I hope that they are able to come to an agreement and get what needs to be done finished. I'm assuming with that added stress of the last few weeks I've gained some weight, but I've yet to step on the scale, that will be tomorrow morning. I'll let ya know how that goes..........
