Well not a lot to post about as I'm only two hours into my morning ... but there's enough.
I woke up late this morning, not entirely surprising as late as I was up last night. However, somehow my alarms all got turned off ... and I don't mean they went off and I turned them off ... they just never went off. So I'll need to ask the husband on that one, see if he was trying to pull a "sweet" gesture. I woke up at 9:28am. My WW meetings begin at 9:30am.
SHIT!
So I hurriedly flop out of bed, throw the closest clothes on that I can find, stuff my feet into my shoes and do something that looked like tying them. After that I grabbed up my purse, coat and WW materials and headed for the bathroom. I knew I couldn't go the meeting with my hair flying every which direction, and also, my bladder would not have held for the whole ten minute (yeah, not long, but I had to PEE!) car ride. So I take a whiz, brush my hair, wash my face and brush my teeth. Now I'm out the door. I didn't have appropriate time to warm my car so taking off was a bit slow as I didn't want to accelerate quickly and push the car too hard. It gets up to a good temp pretty quickly though and soon enough I was able to hurry along.
I was going to go ahead and weigh in before I went into the meeting, as there were already about four others doing the same, and I thought that maybe we weren't supposed to go in because the door was closed. I waited all of five minutes and when somebody else opened the door and snuck in, I snuck in behind them. Was a good meeting, we went over a few questions to answer for the past year such as 'What helped you keep going this year', 'What helpful things did you learn this year ...' etc. I weighed in afterwards and I lost 1.6 lbs, even though I ate that sandwich! WHOOOOO HOOOOOO!
I was so excited! So I left in good spirits, having only missed about fifteen minutes of the meeting and still having lost weight. I find it interesting though, that if I had gained weight my morning and my attitude would probably be entirely different. I would probably not be in good spirits and I might just have come home and gone back to bed. Instead I came home, straightened up my room a bit (made the bed, picked up further dirty clothes, fed the cats, etc.), used the restroom, poured up the dirty dishes and am now sitting here catching up and drinking my morning glass of milk.
Soon I'll go out and do those dishes and in the mix of that I'll probably straighten up my room a bit more even. It's looking like the temps may be too low here tonight to be out in the clubhouse (but maybe not, we'll see how it feels out) so I want my room to be ready to have people in it ... as we aren't having many people over if we have to be here. If SK wasn't so sensitive we'd just have everybody over here ... but it's not as if people will have to be "uninvited". Usually the way it works is that it starts with an intial group of 4-6 and we start calling other friends and inviting them over ... usually ending the night with anywhere from 8 to 20 others present. So we'll have to see what happens.
I think after I get done with that bit of cleaning I'll take a nice hot bath, relax for a while and then make myself some coffee, as I am still feeling sluggish. I'll need some kind of perk by that point. Then I'll probably piddle around on the computer either here or playing The Sims for a while, just relaxing and storing my energy so that I'll make it til midnight. I might even take a nap if I get myself that relaxed, but I'm going to try not to so that I don't make myself even draggier later (for some reason naps do not refresh me if I'm already dead feeling before hand). Of course I'll throw in eating somewhere in all of that mix ... but right now I just want that hot bath more than anything.
Well ... on to it all! If I don't wind up checking back in at some point later ... HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody!
