Grateful Saturday 2/6

I am grateful we can work as a family to get the house ready and that we are not so overwhelmed with activities that would not be possible.

I am grateful that my Isogenix shipment arrived prior to starting work. I can have a shake for lunch while I have a conference call with my new boss.

Grateful Friday 2/5

I am grateful for my last day of sleeping in. I am grateful for an awesome facial yesterday and having money to buy products.

I am stressed that Joe brought home news yesterday that I will have to be more of a project instead of a product manager. I need to understand the expectations for my role. What success looks like. I am a little disappointed that my first meeting with my new boss will be over the phone but shakes here I come at least for a little while. I need to relearn what hungry feels like and need to eat to live not to deal with stress.

Grateful Thursday 2/4

I am grateful for these last couple of days with no work responsibilities. I am grateful my husband has given me time just for me.

I am worried about starting work and keeping it all together. Eating, working out, keeping up with the kids, maintaining their schedules. What if I cannot keep up with work. First time as an employee in five years.

My plan is to work out in the morning. I plan to use the shakes to figure hunger. I don't know how to transition of them but they are so expensive I will have to. I am trying not to worry about that yet.

Grateful

I am grateful that I have my health. I am grateful my kids have their health. I am grateful that Joe is healthy and working towards getting healthier.

Friday 1/8

Made an awesome dinner of turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes with butter, cream cheese and sour cream, roasted broccoli, peas, gravy, salad and rolls. I could not stop eating though :-) The cheese cake even turned out good. I did not work out since I was so busy cleaning the house and getting ready for the party. I started cooking at 3:00 and we ate 5:30.

Today I had a shake breakfast. For lunch I had leftover meatloaf, broccoli, potatoes and a ciabatta roll. Now I have heartburn. I think I put to much adobo on the broccoli. I did do a great cardio workout at Laura's house though. I have also ordered supplements and shakes through Laura. Expensive but high quality.

Wednesday

Very, very tired today. Woke up and had 1/2 banana, applesauce and a shake (not great but not horrible). For lunch had a green salad with caesar dressing and Amy's ravioli. For dinner the kids are going to have hot dogs and vegetables. I am nervous about my interview today. I obviously struggling being just a stay at home mom. I miss having other things to focus on, I am not happy to clean and organize the house.

Post Christmas vacation

It has been difficult getting back to into the groove. Yesterday I did a very tough workout at Laura's house. I wanted to quit, leave the room and cry all at the same time. It stunk. I had a shake breakfast which kept me full until lunch. For lunch I had Samaso but then I could not stop eating in the afternoon. Good news was after lunch
