Last week, the day after I started my period, I weighed in at 137! That’s right, up 5 lbs!   A week later, at the end of my period, I’m back down to a respectable 132.8. 

So…where’s my motivation squad?!  I need you!  I need help back on the wagon, pronto!  All the stress of being the mortgage/agent/buyer for my parents house here is taking its toll on me.  UGH! 

I’m STRESSED!   

Zevan’s birthday was April 18.  My parents came here April 24-29.  Doug’s mom’s birthday was May 8.  DEEP BREATH

Doug’s birthday is May 17 (tomorrow!).  Doug’s parents are taking us all out to dinner.  This weekend I hope to take Doug on his birthday date night.  We hope to close the house on May 26, which is the day my parents arrive with all their stuff, which means unloading and unpacking.      Calgon, take me away!   

As for me, I took a week off from running, to heal those shin splints.  The boys are pushing my buttons today and I can’t even begin to describe how my afternoon has been.   

So… 

I bought new running shoes today!     And I’m going to run right now.
