FF week2

Slowing down already?  only .4 of a pound down this time.  Sigh, This IS going to take a while.  Still it's going in the right direction.. and right now that's all I can ask for.  It's frustrating to not be able to control when I eat.. or if I can get in any exercise at all.  I know in time it will come back, but for now I see all these things that I'd like to do.. or things that need to get done and there is nothing I can do about it.  The problem with when I eat is I get SO hungry if I wait too long.  I get dizzy, shakey, grumpy, tired.. then maybe I eat too much.. or not enough, eat too late (right before bed), which I hear is bad to do.. It upsets your sleep.  My sleep needs no more upsetting.

But what can I do?

I can  put some weekly meal plans together, so thinking of things to make for the week and shopping will be easier.  It might get a little old cycling through the same plans over and over, but I'm sure I can come up with enough of them that it wont seem too bad.  In the meal plans I will try to plan for leftovers.. either made into something new or else just night 2 of the same thing, which we don't seem to have a problem with.  As much prep that can be done on the weekends the better.
....  I'll get right on that...

I suppose to keep myself from getting too hungry, I need to think about snacks, work them in at the right times.  Have them actually available and ready to just grab and eat easily while I am feeding the kid/feeding the cats/unloading his bags/making his lunch for the next day/beginning dinner prep.  Or if dinner is leftovers.. maybe some nights I can just eat with the kid (not that he lets me do much of that)

Exercise.. it's crazy how much I miss the work out until you are sweaty workouts.  But, there is no time for that. Not right now.  I guess I'll have to just try to get in more walks.  During the days for lunch, on the weekend.. try to figure out how to fit it in at night (I like the thought of that.. but it hasn't been easy.. just when will I actually make and eat dinner?... 11PM?)

Blahh  boring boring boring... I feel like so much of my life these days is about things I can't or shouldn't do.
