Friday Free Write ~ Just exhausted

It's November 22nd and I'm exhausted. I've worked out 4 days this week and I'm contemplating NOT working out today and doing a make up on Saturday with an extra half hour or so to feel good. I'm so frustrated this week, which is not the result of hormones despite what my husband thinks.

Wednesday's weigh in report did NOT happen. My weigh in was the same and I did my workout despite that. I had an irritating morning as we have a neighbor with whom we have issues. I'm a quiet person and despite where I live, I kinda expect my neighbors to respect our privacy and maintain the noise ordinance. Well, this guy was not doing that. He's been building a lean to of some sort and he made quite a bit of noise between his hammering and his car radio. He backed his car up through his yard so he had a radio. Bumping radios DRIVE ME CRAZY!


Well, Wednesday got a WHOLE lot worse. I managed to get my workout in, despite the boys constant bickering. I ended up running over time and had to rush my before work primping. I walked out the door at 12:25pm with plenty of time to make it the 6.6 miles to work and clock in before 1pm. However, my tires were flat. Yes, TIRES. I walked back into the house and told my Grandmother (she so lovingly watches our children for us) that I'd not be going to work and I promptly began to contact all the necessary people about my situation. 

My Grandfather (bless his soul) came out a little after 1pm and used his air compressor to fill my tires. A half hour later they were still holding air so he followed me into Monroe to Belle Tire to have them all checked out. The wait was an expected hour and a half or more and my Grandfather left me knowing that I had my phone if I needed some help. I assured him I had the money for the repairs and he left me there in the waiting room. Now, I'm NOT a good waiter. I fidget. I usually read to pass the time. HOWEVER, I didn't have my Nook Color or my Kindle. I have a Kindle app on my phone but the tv in the room was set to Jerry Springer and there were a few people in the room who made me feel like I was in rural Kentucky or worse. The stereotypical belly picker guy. Yes, he did exactly that. Thus my situation, telling the techs that I'd be back, that I was going for a walk. 

I spent an hour browsing at Lowe's and Ollie's. I picked up plenty of books for the kids and a gift for Ben and decided it was time to head back to the van. Within 15 minutes of returning the van was complete and I was headed home.

Thankfully Thursday was a normal day. I weighed in 2oz less than the day before, but I'm nearing  DOOMSDAY or is it doomsweek? Either way, I'm retaining water weight and I feel terrible. Fingers crossed I don't over do it this weekend with the salty snacks. Forget chocolate. I crave salty these days. 

6 more days until Turkey DAY! 

Current weight:  177.6
Goal weight: 159

Weight to go: 18.6lbs
