This morning we had to wake up earlier than usual (or at least since November)!!! It was Ben's first day back to in-person (hybrid) school! I was so excited for him since he really isn't a remote school kind of student. What I was worried about is getting him up for school. Over the past year he has been on a crappy sleep schedule and it is hell getting him up in the morning. We generally start at 7am and I have to go in his room every 15 minutes to get him up. Some days we are right down to the wire at 830 before he gets out of bed and there have been a few times where he has been a few minutes late. It is annoying and causes all sorts of drama here. So you could see my worry last night, right? I set the alarm for 6:30 today and surprisingly, only had to knock on his door one time. He came out, got ready, had his morning latte that I make for both him & Ken during he week. He was actually ready BEFORE it was time to leave!!! I was so impressed...however tomorrow I need to make sure he takes his meds before we leave because that didn't happen today. One day at a time though!!!
While I waited for him to get ready, I was able to watch a little of the morning news. Holy COW!!! It was -6 with wind chill!!! I don't mind winter at all - the snow doesn't bother me. What bothers me is #1 ice & #2 artic temps!!! And #2 is only when I have to leave the house. He really needs to get his driver's time in so he can get his license!!!
After I dropped him off, I was able to get working on my daily routine. It was nice having that extra half hour this morning - wait did I just say that? :) I even started my workout earlier than usual today!!! Toda was Day 15 Total Body Cardio Fix of the 21 Day Fix. Only 6 more days of this program and onto something else. I think I know what I am doing next but I am not 100% yet. I have really been pushing myself to do as little as possible when it comes to the "modified" exercises. I am looking forward to working out and even today, I find I am having the urge to do an afternoon workout! This energy is crazy!!! I have been doing extra little projects that I have been putting off around the house and I keep making mental notes of other stuff that I need to put on my to-do list. Yesterday I cleaned out ALL of the cabinets in the bathroom and filled a bag of trash! It felt so refreshing!!! I even decided to schedule another donation pick up - so now I have a few weeks to go through the house and get rid of the extra clutter! Especially stuff in the basement!!!
We received our newest shipment from Hello Fresh yesterday too!!! They even sent a little Keto Snack bar. I can't wait to try it out! Speaking of trying low carb stuff out - this week I will be starting a review of products that I have been finding either locally or online. That is one thing I love about social media, seeing stuff that others are finding to make this way of eating even easier!!! The past few days, I have been spending far too much time on TikTok and now I feel that I need to get a Costco membership because I am seeing a TON of stuff that I need to try!!! Stay tuned for my reviews!
Here are pictures of my Hello Fresh for this week...
I do have one meal that Jackie selected that I just can't make my own modifications for (it's a pasta dish) so I bought a frozen meal that I have been wanting to try while they have that. No biggie here. I hate feeling like I am pushing too much low carb on them. Plus it will be another item that I can review. :)
I hope you are having a fabulous day! Stay warm!
