No Excuses!

So . . . you're all probably wondering what happened to me and why I dropped off the face of the planet.  Well, I'll tell you, it's because I bought a house.  And although the house is in good condition, it still needs a lot of work.  Every spare minute I've had in the last week or more has been spent there trying to get it ready to paint so that we can get the new flooring in so I can move in.

I've decided that this is not a good enough excuse though, and I need to stay active (although I don't know how much more active I can be - I spend 5 hours there today lifting things, moving things . . . trust me, I'm sore!) and I still need to do my weigh-ins.  However, I forgot to weigh in this last Saturday and I was trying to figure out what to do.  Which is when I remembered that when I was doing Weight Watchers we were periodically given a "No Weigh-in Pass," which is exactly what it says.  If we thought we had not done well that week we could skip weighing-in.  So this is my only week for that.

I also made another decision.  I don't really want to count every day that I spend working on my house as an exercise, but I don't want to punish myself for it either.  So for the in term I am going to not take away iTunes downloads while I am working on my house.  However, once I've moved in that goes back into effect.  If I do find time to work out between now and then I can still earn downloads, or if there's a particularly intense day of working on the house (like the day we pull out the carpet . . . ugh.) then those can also count for a download.

Next post will be a weigh-in!  I'm nervous.
