Update on that goals thing
Hey, did you know that not ingesting booze or sweets is HARD? Who knew, right?
I’ve been getting up at 5:50 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to hit the gym. It’s the best time for me because by the time I’m done and get home, the baby is awake and we can start our days. Maybe this is a common working mother thing, but I always feel like I want to squeeze out as much time as possible with her during the day, and going to the gym after work means spending less time with her. (And, I guess I could go after she goes to bed, but by then it’s 7:30 p.m. or so and my ass is firmly planted on the couch). Getting up an hour earlier than I usually do means I can eke out this time for myself without depleting the time I spend with her.
The sweets thing though… I am a crazy person and may have made cake for people at work. I don’t know why but it gave me this weird pleasurable feeling to have people eat something I made without actually eating any of it myself. Is that some kind of weird-ass feeling about food, or what?
But it is hard. Work has a lot of cakes and cookies and last week I was invited out twice for drinks. I’m just trying to take it day by day and hope that I don’t slip in the next 20 days or so.
In lifestyle goals news: The yarn I was using for the baby blanket was a terrible mess of tangles, since I didn’t realize until recently that you are supposed to unspool the skeins. Oops. So I sat down last night and untangled the whole mess and then knit a half a row before Catherine demanded my full attention. But at least now I have usable yarn.
