Thoughtful Thursday

People, I'm just not sure this is the season in my life to lose those last 10 pounds.  I mean, I have a good 30 to go, if I'm going according to what my BMI says I should weight, but I'm about 5-10 pounds (depending on the day) from having a normal BMI and I just can't break that barrier.

And that's not to say that I'm working super hard at it.

I'm just trying to make it through.  My life is so great from about 1-3 (aka, naptime, before the kids come home) and I feel like I am on top of my game and my housework and my actual job. 

But then 3 pm hits and I'm just floored by these kids and seriously, do I only have 3 because I feel like I have 12 with all the emotions and fighting, and emotions and madness...  Drew's in school and it's marching band season.  I thought I never saw him before, but I was totally wrong....  Then I work today and Saturday....

Anyway.  Do you think that it's always a good time to lose weight?

This isn't a short term deal.  He'll be in graduate school, maybe 3 years, although hopefully less.  Marching band isn't long term... but I do feel really overwhelmed.  I will continue working that whole time, which adds fire to our already overscheduled life.

Except from 1-3. 

But it's just too dang hot to work out then.  I am on the search for yummy, lighter fare during that time.  But working out is just ridiculous.  I don't know the last time our high was under 110.

So, that's where I am at.

Thoughts?

Seeing as how that's where I've been for the last few years, I totally understand.

As you know, this last year I've made more sacrifices, but not enough to lose a ton of weight. But a little. And I'm hoping to get back on the wagon again starting September 6!
