Hello Blog. It has been so long since our last visit. This is because I finally stopped to make a list of what needs to be accomplished for my two-person-job by August 17th (yes, that really is our first day!). Since then, my summer has just not been the same. I feel guilty for browsing the internet or playing solitaire, and starting an Agatha Christie *pause for longing sigh* is completely out of the question. Reality roused me from my sleeping-until-ten, absorbing-myself-in-Annabelle-and-Atkins existence to remind me that I am still a member of society with plenty of responsibilities.
Think that teaching middle school and high school choir can't possibly be that involved? Oh, think again! Now if I didn't care about my job, it's true that I would have another solid month of summer break... and a miserable nine months after that. My Gracious Father has blessed me with a passion, and a job in which to exhaust it, and I am extremely and intensely grateful. I'll take those simultaneously rewarding and frustrating twelve hour days over anything.
Meanwhile, I am absolutely not sacrificing my new way of eating (and my health), no matter how long my to-do list may be. I am planning my meals, washing and cutting vegetables, and cooking (and cleaning dishes) very diligently. So worth the work to finally feel in control of my own appetite. AND, this morning marks exactly one month of eating this way; in celebration my scale informed me that I am seven pounds lighter for it! In 3.6 pounds, I will be within the BMI limit for "normal weight," which is my first mini goal. Yay :)
Goodnight dear Blog. I promise to visit you sooner than last time. And I promise to try to bring a little less me to our next meeting :)
