yesterday i cleaned the house. like scrub floors, wash windows, dust shelves, wipe walls - that kind of cleaning up.
today i grocery shopped, kid-free, then returned home and baked 1 chocolate zucchini-coconut cake and 4 loaves of zucchini bread for the freezer. i prepped salads and sides for our weekly menu. i cut copious amounts of fruit for breakfast smoothies. i brewed tea for new batches of kombucha, started a fresh pitcher of cold brewed iced coffee and made a jar of simple syrup to sugar it up a bit.
i cleaned up after each creation so my kitchen looks sweet and smells even sweeter. however the rest of the house looks like mama took the day off and let a bunch of wild turkeys roam the rooms. sticky doorknobs, sticky floors {big thanks to homemade ice pops!}, an emptied knitting bag {grumble} and toy cars from here to there and everywhere in between. i maybe-might just ignore it all until tomorrow. with exception to my knitting bag...
in other news i have decided that i am going to lose 20 pounds {i am super serious this time} and am already down 5. woohoo! a few diet modifications {less snacking and self medicating with food. ahem} and lots of walking, hooping, yoga and urban farm girl chores. go me. if when i reach my goal i am buying a new wardrobe. you have been warned inspired daddy.
GO MAMA GO!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm down 21 lbs, you can TOTALLY DO THIS! So fabulous. Can't wait to see your new clothes soon!

DeleteI just gained 30 with my pregnancy so I am hoping to get that off by this time next year. Maybe we can be each others on line support persons :)! I am a single mama all week since my husband works out of town and is only here for two days on the weekend and I find myself comforting myself with food :( it is so hard.I live for the moment my kids are all in bed and I can eat ice cream and not worry about anyone else for a few hours.That is gonna be a hard one to quit!
ReplyDeleteheidi, i would love to be online support for one another! i too know the joys of having a late evening treat after the kiddos are all tucked in!! :-)
DeleteErika, you always amaze me! You can do it!
