Day 10- making it all work

       Hello again! So in trying to make this work this time I am making adjustments to try and not get so stressed out that I find my self too tired, with too strong cravings to deal with. Hubby has Benn great about watching the kids when he gets home so I can head tot the gym. And because of that I am trying to make it as seamless as possible. The first problem to arise was dinner. I started by having dinner ready and all they had to do was heat and eat when they were ready. Problem was I think I got them used to being served because I would get back at 8:45pm from the gym and they still would not have eaten. So I began having it ready when he walks in the door so we just sit down and eat. That was a little strange because we normally eat after he showers but it is working so we will adjust.

      My second problem arose on Tuesday night. Because I have been focusing on my weight loss the house was getting a nit behind. My hubby is sensitive to it and I did not like were it was going. So yesterday I settled in and busted but. Now mind you it is not perfect but my goal is to make sure in the morning the bigger things are taken care of while son is at school. That way the only things left are the small pick up things and house is fine when hubby gets home. I am sure it wont be the same when I get out of the gym but I will deal with it.

    As for daily check ins. I ate 140 calories above my limit for yesterday LOL. But I burned 905 calories at the gym so I am OK with that. I swam 35 minutes all butterfly stoke no board assistance so I am a happy camper. And that was with me having one of those find any excuse to cut my workout short days. You see last night was special Olympics training day and there were double the people from a week before. Now don't get me wrong I love that they do it! I love seeing how excited they are about doing it. But they splash SOOOO much that it is harder for me to keep going and I tend to get hit by waves that I choke on. So after about 15 minutes I was about to give up when a man with amazing arm muscles gets in the lane next to m and just goes. I was in awwww. So I kept going. I figured if he can swim laps around me the least I can do was keep going. I am competitive so this was a good thing. And I did. Well he had a good swim planned so It was long enough not only to keep me going my normal 30 minutes but an extra 5 and ALL arms not board help! I even told the man thanks for the inspiration!  He was my work out angel for the day.
