Weeds & Such

Which do you prescribe to?  Do you tackle the small weeds as soon as you see one pop up, better get ‘em now before it gets out of control, or do you wait until it becomes noticeable and get them all at once?  Is there a time benefit to this?  I’ve attempted both and am not sure which is best.  Same goes for house chores or paperwork.  I want to enjoy life so I usually let it go so I can have some fun and be active but then the day comes where I can’t ignore it anymore and it takes me an entire weekend to catch up.  You may think well this would be easier if I had someone to share in the work, no, then you just have someone else to share the blame with when it doesn’t get done and to enjoy in the guilty pleasure of ignoring it.  It makes me wonder what happens once people have kids, how do you fit in the fun stuff plus chores plus raising a child?  Ahhhhhhh!!   I’m not going to think about that one until I’m forced to.

This last weekend I spent the whole time making sure I got my workouts in, finishing the preparation for my best friends bachelorette party and wedding trip (last one I am participating in only my best friend is worth that kind of dedication to construction paper and painting mini buckets) and my laundry didn’t get done or the kitchen cleaned or the carpets vacuumed.  I just can’t decide if it’s worth the worry I’m still going to call it a productive and well spent weekend.  It would be so exhausting to try and be Molly homemaker while trying to stay in shape, be social and nice, adventurous, educated, well read, up to date on movies and anyone who does must not get any sleep or get to let their hair down.  So if anyone wants to ask what’s for dinner or that it should be easy to keep the house perfect they can officially kiss my @!#$%*!  Or at least not expect me to have a smile on my face by the end of the day.

So far I’ve managed to keep upping my workouts for 2 weeks!  This last week went as follows:

M – 5 mile hill run

T – 1 hour kickboxing class (the real deal)

W – day off

Th – 1 hr Spin Class

Fri – Weights and running

Sat – 4 mile run

Sun – 27 mile bike ride

I was very proud of myself until stepping on the scale this morning and seeing that I gained 2 pounds instead of losing or maintaining!  I have an appointment with a dietician next week and have kept a food diary.  We’ll see what she says and I’ve made it very clear this session is not to discuss my vegetarian ways but my theories on calories in vs. calories out and why it’s not working… I’ll keep you posted…
