So, yesterday I reintroduced myself to the mythological wonder... the mysterious location that I kept hearing the preschool moms with nannies and/or no babies talk about. The place that never seemed within my reach. That's right, I made it to the GYM.
I went for a good swim, and it felt good. I joined at the end of the summer and it's certainly not the first time I've been there, but it is the first time since restarting TSFL. I know swimming isn't as intense as a class like SPIN or Zumba even, but I love being in the water, and I'm still somewhat sleep deprived, so I wanted to start small.
It was a half day for R, so I had both girls all afternoon and they were mostly good. R played with Legos while L took a nap (and actually SLEPT), and aside from the craziness during the witching hour before dinner, it wasn't too bad of a day. I made everyone quesadillas and I fell back to my spiralized zucchini saute that I talked about last week.
This morning R and L had a playdate with old pre-school friends who had not yet seen the new house. I purposely ate a chewy bar right before they arrived so I wouldn't be hungry. Good thing because they brought donuts! I made the kids fruit & mini pizza bagels for lunch and they had the donuts for dessert. I didn't even blink at them. Rebecca offered me a tiny bit and I kinda took a nibble and slipped the rest into the garbage can.
Tonight we are taking the kids to see Star Wars. I think the plan is to have an early dinner (4/4:30ish) because the movie starts at 6. We probably won't get home until 9/9:30ish. I had my third meal replacement around 1PM, so I'm going to try to hold off until the early dinner, leaving 2 meal replacements for afterwards (one during the movie, and one for later at home). I don't want to get super-hungry later. Planning. I gotta plan!
Tomorrow my in-laws are coming over, we always get together on Christmas and do some Channukah stuff no matter how Channukah falls, because "Everybody is off". I am planning to cook a brisket, chicken, green beans, and make some fresh latkes. I know I'll be fine. I've got this.
