Near-Death By Exhaustion

What a day... Need I say more? The fabulous thing about my
crazy-busy day, is that...I LOVED IT!!! I had no problem
what-so-ever getting up and going this morning. My alarm
went off at 5am and I was out of bed and on the move. My
schedule was murder, a near-death by exhaustion, but I
pulled it off:

5am - woke up, got dressed
5:15am - got girls up, got them dressed
5:50am - left the house
6am - dropped Kiki off
6:15am - dropped Annie off
6:30am - arrived at the gym
7am - finished workout
7:30am - left gym
7:45am - arrived at work
4:30pm - got off from work
4:45pm - made a Costco run (needed something for work)
5:15pm - picked up Annie
5:30pm - picked up Kiki
6pm - FINALLY, made it home, a 10 minute drive turned into
a 30 minute commute in rush hour traffic. Now I'm at
rest...

Okay, so that wasn't the most interesting way to chronicle
my day, but you get the idea. I had a long day.

Work was fabulous. I got my employee number, got set up in
dentrix (the dental software program), I helped assist. I
really felt like one of the team, not just an outsider
that they were starting to get to know. It was such a
great feeling to BELONG. I have so much to learn, but I
believe in myself. I know I can do it (eventually).

When I got home, Snookums had bar-b-qued chicken breast
and steak and had french bread and rice ready, too. I only
ate a little (318 cals worth), splitting a steak and
breast with both girls, but it was really good. I was
hungry from being on the move all day, but my resolve to
stay on track is stronger than any hunger. Tomorrow
there's a luncheon at work and I know I'm not going to be
able to avoid the food. I'll use moderation so I can at
least look normal. I stopped at Costco and got a massive
tiramisu for dessert. That's going to be hard to stay away
from.

I'm so sad :( I won't have time to go to the gym for
awhile. I have to be to work at 7:15am from now on, so
that doesn't leave enough time in the morning or
afternoon, because the girls' daycare opens and closes at
6am and 6pm. Logistically, there isn't any way for me to
have enough time to drive across Kitsap county to get
there. So, I'll still get up at 5am, I'll just do Pilates
or Tae Bo at home. I lost 60-some pounds that way, it'll
work until I finish training and can get back to the gym.
I'll still try to go on the day I have off during the
week, just so I don't feel like I've been completely
ostracized from the gym.

I'm sleepy and ready to call it a night. But, it's the
good kind of tired :) I'm happy with my life and how
things are evolving. FINALLY, things are starting to come
together!!! Ciao :)
