Weekly WI: You’re A Problem

I need less commitments in my life.

You know those memes on social media about, “we need to…” and then the Vince Vaughan character says, “Let’s not point fingers here. You’re a problem.  You’re a real problem.”

I Googled it and the clip is from Couples Retreat.  What did we do before Google?  Did we actually know anything or just give up trying to recall?  Anyway…I digress…

What I need to do is sign up for less commitments.  I’m the “real problem.”  It has been busy.  I feel like that is my excuse every time I sign on here to catch up in the blogging world.  What a whirlwind of a week it has been.

Last Monday and Tuesday was my CPM training in downtown Boise.  Wednesday was my “day off,” which included shopping for warm clothing for our upcoming Spotlight Grant partnership with the Nampa Library.  I went from that to wine tasting with Wanda and her retired group of friends to dinner where Kenyon joined us at Indian Creek Steakhouse.  Oh man they have delicious burgers.

Thursday morning I was up early for a flight to Coeur d’ Alene for a all-team supervisory meeting/retreat.  The day had a packed agenda leaving us little time to get checked into the hotel and to Triple Play for bowling and pizza.  My gal pal Dawny picked me up for a quick visit with a stop at the CdA Elks Lodge and a few essentials for Dawny at Costco.  

Friday morning was another packed agenda before our ride to the airport and our flight home to Boise.  Saturday - Monday I rolled into my work week followed by Monday night and Tuesday morning’s Weight Watchers workshops and Tuesday's lodge meeting.

As I type this, I am waiting at the dealership for a recall on the Ram van back-up camera followed by a stop at the lodge to sort out final reporting for our Gratitude grant application, teletheraphy, and finally volunteering at the Elks Bingo supper.  My day ends with a stop at ISP to deliver employee evaluations.

Did I pain a clear picture as to why I am the problem.  I have trouble saying no to commitments and between it all, it leaves zero time for ME time including prioritizing diet and exercise.  

I gained 2.2 pounds back of the 3.4 I lost the week prior.  

My Weight Health Score dropped all week.  I can clearly see my focus has been in all the wrong places last week.  Now I’ve got that song “Looking for love in all the wrong places…” in my head!

This All In Mode makes it way too easy to eat over your points.  This week my goal is to get up the new AI Body Scanner and get reacquainted with activity.  Over all, food isn’t too crazy this week but as last week showed, I’m eating over my daily points target too easily.
