Productive Weekend
Hubby started his new schedule of being back on day shift last week and his off days are now Wed/Thu. This got me in the mindset of making the most of my being off and home alone on Fridays now. I got up at 6:30am and started my day of cleaning. Got the kiddies off to school and continued with my "to do" list. I literally spent about 13 hours that day cleaning the house and about 3 hours doing errands (groceries, donating clothes to the local nursing home, donating odds/ends to the Waterfront Mission, donating empty printer cartidges to the school, going to the bank). I didn't even stop to sit down and eat breakfast or lunch...I just made it and sat it on the counter and took a bite as I passed by the plate. lol Hubby took over making dinner while I continued to clean. Saturday I got up around 8:30am and started cleaning again. This went on all day except the time I took my oldest to/from the skating rink and to go out to dinner. I didn't stop until 11 that night. Sunday was more of the same until around 10pm. I'd pulled my back a bit on Sunday so I stayed home from work yesterday to relax. Didn't get up for the day until after noon and then I had lunch and did the remainder of my laundry. I am so proud when I look around at my immaculate house!! Ahhhh! It's been way too long since I took the time to really de-clutter and organize and it feels wonderful! With the hours and hours of cleaning I figured that more than made up for not exercising this weekend. Did you do anything that made you feel like you accomplished awesome things?

I would say the only thing that I accomplished was sticking to eating the right foods. I haven't starting moving my body yet because I came down with a terrible cold. I love when my house is completely clean and smells good. Have a great evening.
I'd say that is a HUGE accomplishment, especially when you are sick and it's so easy to want those easy comfort foods rather than something healthy.
WOW! What a cleaning marathon!
I have been feeling particularly UNmotivated and UNproductive lately, so can't say that I feel like I've accomplished anything lately. Which makes me even more in awe of you.....
Trust me Karyn...I have those weekends where all I want to do is lay on my bed and watch Lifetime movies! I think one of the major benefits of my weight loss has been the increase in energy though. Before I lost weight, on weekends I could EASILY sleep until noon or even 2 in the afternoon! Now most weekends I am awake by 8 or 9 at the latest, often earlier.
