Quickie

 This is just a quickie entry as I’m in the home stretch with getting ready for vacation.  We leave early in the morning so I’m finally getting to the last minute stuff today where I can leave in peace.  That mean, in my psychotic world, that the house has to be absolutely spotless before leaving.  I almost go to lengths where it is done in detail like spring cleaning.  I just didn’t have time to wash the carpets and the windows.  😉  

I just have one more load of laundry to do, wipe down the bathroom, wash the floors, and finally pack our bags.  The plan is to also throw together a batch of amish bread too and thankfully dinner involves leftovers. 

my mom shockingly offered to take Rozi for the week.  I was glad she did as i feel much better with leaving Rozi with someone who she can be with all day long.  I know my neighbor does a great job and I’m thankful for her help but it’s just different since she just comes and lets her out, etc.  She has offered to watch her in case my mom gets overwhelmed but based on how things were when we left, Rozi and mom’s dog should be fine together.  The dogs are finally at an age where they mainly just lay around.

I did my final weigh in for the weight loss challenge at Jazzercise.  I’m happy with how I did but who doesn’t secretly wish the pounds would just come off sooner?  So, the past eleven weeks resulted in a loss of twenty and a half pounds.  Not bad considering how much I’ve struggled the past couple of years to budge at all.  I really didn’t change my habits that drastically other than shy away from the grains more than I usually do and keep a more mindful eye on portions.  The sucky part is I don’t have a chance of winning the challenge even though I’ve lost the most out of everyone due to a chick who weighs next to nothing losing just over ten pounds.  It will be based on percentage lost.

I’m hoping I get a chance to relax a bit tonight before getting to bed.  Unfortunately, I don’t know how realistic that’s going to be.  I guess that means I should get off my butt and get to checking things off my list.
