I felt a little better today. I knew I would have to knuckle down and get out of track before my indulgences spiralled out of control! I had a great workout with the trainer. It's definitely a worth-while expense. A good workout is so motivating, right?

My youngest daughter started kindergarten this year and I thought I would spend the year lazing about in her absence. Nope! I'm volunteering in her classroom once a week and doing special projects for her teacher, running the Sunday school program at my church, and starting up a Daisy (Girl Scout) troup. My house is full of paperwork and projects and it's driving me nuts! I hate a mess but I'm so grateful to feel engaged and busy and doing things for the benefit of my lovely girls.
