One of "those" weeks...

Sep 05, 2014

Man I need to write!  The past two week have been crazy busy with back to school preparation and getting the kids used to a new routine...add the lovely monthly and I was truly a mess!  The frustration thing with all of the chaos is that I totally went back to old habits!!  Now I am struggling to get back in to my healthy eating.  I am eating mindfully though...that is my only saving grace...but even with that I am like mindfully eating the apple fritter from country style and feeling angry at myself with every bite ha! My goodness I need to get some control over this.  

Ok so when I look back at the past two weeks a few reoccurring themes keep coming up...Did I get enough sleep this week...no.  Did I plan my meals this week...no.  Did I drink enough water throughout the day...no.   Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding...those things get me every time!  It is so easy to fall off the wagon with chaos.  Sometimes I feel like I am taking care of everything around me and leaving me, myself and I out in the process.  If any of you have been on a plane the attendant will say that in the event of a crash (aka chaos in your life), put that oxygen mask on yourself BEFORE you put it on your children.  I am no good to my family when forget to take care of me.  I get tired and addicted to sugar...not pretty.  Hmmm...I guess my next task is to get to a place where can identify a chaotic state and remember to put the damn mask on my face!  

So now that I have gotten this off my chest, I am going to have a peppermint tea, hop into bed and get as much sleep as a mum of 4 could possibly get, to turn things around.  

Pray for me people

Bless
