Day Three

When I said day three bring it on I did not think that it was really going to happen.   My day started this morning at 6:30, and that was after another night where I was up every hour.  There  are many reasons why I could not sleep (Michael up all night with an upper respatory infection it sounded like he was coughing up a lung, and a teenager finishing up a project that he had all of Christmas break to do.)

I woke up to a couple of inches of snow in the driveway and since Michael was sick and the Dan was supposed to leave for school at seven I put my snow gear on and went put to snowblow the driveway.   Got it all gassed up plugged it in and promptly flooded the engine, I did not have a ton of time and so I  grabbed the shovel and finished it manually.  I came in the house and said I would rather do ten crossfit workout before shoveling the driveway again!

As you may have guessed already this made me late for work and I was rushing to get out of the house.  I had planned on starting my dinner in a crockpot before I left,  that did not happen.  I left for work frustrated because I knew time was going to be tight later in the day and I did not get prepared for dinner.  About noon Michael called he had gone to the doctor and was put on a very strong cough medicine it made him loopy so he could not drive for  the rest of the day.  He was planning on taking Jason to get his  lacrosse equipment,I was going to have to fit it into my night,  I knew I could but I had to make it to the 5:30 class.   The good news, Michael could get our dimner prepared and I would not have to worry about what we was going to eat for dinner.

 I left work 25 minutes late (after a very frustrating day) and knew I was going to  be late for my class at the gym.  For anyone that knows me I hate being late for the gym so much I almost did not go.  I was so focused on getting there on time I did not even realize my lights were off the whole way to the gym ( I could not figure out why people kept beeping at me).  I made it on time for class and was off to get lacrosse equipment and go to Maddys game.  I finally walked in the door at home around nine. 

Dinner was ready (thank you Michael) it was a stew with sweet potatoes, I am not the biggest fan of sweet potatoes but I was so hungry when I got home I could not wait to eat it.  I have to say it was incredibly good and it is coming with me tomorrow for lunch.

Today was just a crazy typical day where if I was not doing this challenge I would have joined the kids in takeout and a glass of wine ( there it is you know I would not finish this without mentioning the lack of fermented grapes). But I am committed and I had my sweet potato and beef stew, water , and my hot tea (yes still in my ugly cup if you didn't notice I had no time to go shopping for pretty mugs to drink out of).

What did I learn today:

Don't press the gas button on the snowblower more than four times
Shoveling snow sucks (I knew that already I just reaffirmed my hatred for it)
Sweet Potatoes are not so bad
Planning is the key

On to day four, here is hoping its a better day.
