Time

I have hit some different milestones this week when it's come to my weight loss challenge....  I am starting to see some definition in my waist and it's been quite some time since I've had that.  Granted, I still have a long way to go in order to meet my personal goals but I know that any progress I'm making is a good thing.  There are times where I just get a little bit frustrated with the whole thing because I wish that I was making faster progress.  On the other hand, I know that if I lose weight too fast it could potentially come back quickly and I could gain more than I have lost...  Knowing that, I just have to keep plugging along and lose the weight as my body sees fit and just keep working at it.  As one of the workout videos I have says, "It took time to put the weight on so it will take time to lose it."  I will just have to keep telling myself that....  We'll see if that helps or not...


I have had some sleep success the last two nights.  I bought a new pillow and when I have slept, it has seemed to be more restful sleep.  I am really hoping that the sleep continues.  This past week was an emotionally draining one as well as a physically draining one and I'm not really sure what this upcoming week has in store.  I know that during dance class we will be continuing to work on a new and complex choreography (and I'm really hoping that we will run some of our other choreography as well so we don't forget any of those dances).  Learning new choreography not only taxes your body but your brain as well.  When we are learning a new choreography there are times that I curse my brain for picking up dances as quickly as I do just because choreography evolves and changes over time and there then is more to have to remember/memorize.  That's where sleep does come in handy...  =)


There are times where I look around and honestly wish that I had the capability to add more hours to any given day.  I have projects that I'm working on with more piling up on the back burner and I'm wondering when I'm going to find the time to accomplish the things that I have/want to work on.  At some point I think I need to go through some of my boxes that are still packed in order to get rid of some stuff (if it's still in a box at this point, do I really want to continue to hang onto it?  If my answer is no, get rid of it; if the answer is yes, why do I want to keep it?).  I have two baby blankets that I want to cross-stitch -- one is just over half done and the other is still in the package.  I have also wondered about adding a workout video or two to my weekly routine just to help shake things up weight loss wise.  However, all of these things take time and I just don't feel as if there are enough hours in the day/week in order to find time for me to get it all accomplished.  Maybe I just need to make a daily/weekly schedule for myself like we do for the kids at work.  We plan out their day for them in order to get things accomplished.  Hmm....  it's a thought anyway.


With that being said, maybe I need to put this away for tonight and attempt to get at least one more small section sewn on the baby blanket before I head to bed in order to start my week.  Sorry this post is on the short side but things need to get accomplished.....  I hope you all have a great week!
