Week 1 - Day 4 Last Night's Post

My husband confiscated the computer last night to look up video game stuff so I was not able to put up my post.

First and foremost: I have to say I'm really proud of myself for being SO much better about housework the last couple weeks. Since our NYE party I've kept the main floor of the house in excellent condition and have even managed to get the upstairs vacuumed once or twice. At some point this week/weekend I want to hit Target and get a dry-erase board for the kitchen so I can have my household to-do's right there where I'll see it every day. Also - I'm almost completely caught up on my laundry which is a feat within itself. Go me! Okay, now stats...

Day 4:

• total calories: 1706 which leaves 570 flex calories for the week.
• no workout but I DID take down all the Christmas stuff which involved dragging boxes around and running up and down the stairs... well... as much "running" as one can do with a broken toe. Heh. 
• 3 cigarettes... boo.
• 11pm bedtime - yeah!
• $3 on lunch - I have, I think, like $7 left in cash til pay day.. not really sure how that happened other than I must have spent money on something I forgot about. I should invest in a tiny notepad for my purse to keep track of these things. 

I really want to get Mike into this whole "get healthy" kick - so I think I'm going to start tracking his calories for him just so at the end of a week I can put it in his face and say, "SEE?!" He is a bit of a short-boy... and probably eats like someone who is 6'4" and doesn't like exercise, like, at all. It's a treacherous combination. I would prefer he not have a heart attack and die at 40. But that's just me. 

One thing that's really going to suck about this 5 weeks and getting my exercise in - on top of having the retarded toe, it's the beginning of the busy season at work so getting out of the office by 4:30pm to hit the gym before picking James up from daycare isn't always going to work. I will most likely have to just suck it up and go in the evenings on those days.. which is what I used to do back in the day anyway. I just feel like it's better to be able to get it done and out of the way before dinner and bedtime stuff with James. Oh well!
