The last week, and challenge, of 2016 is over, so I am posting an update of my week:
Goals for Week Dec 26 - 31/ 16:
Have ds, ddil, dgs and G here Tues Dec 27 for supper
- cook turkey ahead
- recover DR chairs (finally) 1
2
3 4 - staple gun broke - but I did buy a new one
- babyproof ahead as needed
I did some, but should have done more
- try to relax and keep it simple
kept it simple but it was still too much
- give baby a few things kept back - like special year ornaments and a couple of toys he can leave here to play with
Waterfit x 3 (closed Mon. (holiday here), I probably won't have time Tues, G has already said she will go with me on Wed. to B centre (we haven't been together for several weeks and she's never been to this one. Can only go because she is a supply teacher and schools are closed this week) Will also try to get out Th and F
got out twice, didn't go day #3 because of weather, G never made it
Try to get in some form of exercise on non-waterfit days (pilates and/ or cardio)
got in 2 days, but over the last weekend, non-waterfit days
Watch calories as best I can, (knowing I may have 2 high calorie days, plus over most of last week)
tried to limit the extras but I was over calories every day but 1
Hair cut
Attend a New Years Eve potluck brunch at new friend D's
- figure out what to make
- try not to stress out ahead
Try to enjoy some quietness this week
Pay bills
Prepare to go into New Year with everything caught up
All in all it was a good week.
Dinner with family did not turn out as good as I had hoped, and I ended up wondering 'why am I doing this?' I hope I remember that next year. But I guess it was good that G finally got to my home. I wonder if now she might be a bit more open, but I'm thinking that that might just be her personality.
The New Years Eve brunch turned out wonderful and I met a bunch of lovely, interesting ladies. My casserole turned out well too.
As the year was rolling to an end, I decided to alternate days in my general cleaning plan - as that is also what seems to be happening in my waterfit days and times, so I'm hoping they flow together.
I got out for groceries for the potluck on Thurs, and so Friday I slowly cleaned up the LR DR and bedrooms. And then Sat. I worked on the kitchen and bathroom, and changing my sheets - so everything was pretty clean going into the new year, without going into a last minute frenzy. It was nice!
