I had the worst nights sleep in a long time.  I went to bed early with the intent of waking up early to workout…well that didn’t work.  I woke up twice with nightmares, then with a splitting headache, then Garrett woke up with a nightmare.  UGH.  I will have to shift my exercise to a rest day today and workout on Saturday.  I was trying to get it in early because Jess’ softball game was moved up and now I will literally have no time to do it today…we have to leave less than an hour after I get home from work.

I did really good with food yesterday….I ate 1414 calories.  I have been aiming for between 1200-1500 per day.  I even had ice cream last night!  I haven’t had that in a while.  The Breyers FF double churn vanilla…..90 calories and 3 grams of fiber for a 1/2 C……very good.

So I realized yesterday that Kevin has been gone 5 months this season…and only home about 10 days during this time.  I can not wait for him to get home already.  I am truly truly missing him and as usual towards the end of a season, the communication is started to be yuck.  You run out of things to say and get sick of talking on the phone as your only form of communication. And me, I get mad when there is lack of communication.  There has to be a healthy dose of it to keep the relationship going for anyone, but even more so when your spouse (or future in my case) is on the road.  I think if I weren’t so self sufficient, it would be a problem…..and I honestly was not always that way.  It’s only the past few years that I gained that.  I think when you are a single parent with 2 kids depending on you for everything, plus I had my own house and had to do everything in it and around it that helps you.  That actually was something that Kevin admired about me when we first met….he came to my house and I was in the middle of remodeling my living room….stripping and smoothing the walls and all. LOL  So the other day I found a job in the paper for a power plant nearby and he has some of the experience they want…I told him and I was shocked that he applied online that same night.  I know how hard it was for him to do that….I just did it in December myself.  I left a very comfy job in an industry I had been in for 11 years making very good money.  But commuting 42 miles one way in horrible traffic everyday was horrible.  I was never able to do anything with the kids and when I did I was soooo tired and grumpy.  At least this for him is same industry, but would be leaving his company of 10 years.  Oh fingers crossed that the money is relative and he gets it.

OK….so on tap for today….work (yuck because I am busy today) and Jess’ softball game.  For food….breakfast is oatmeal, lunch salad and a LC, dinner is taco’s per Jess’ request.  Snacks will be banana, apple and a 100 calorie pack.
