throw your hands up at me.

I gave a detailed breakdown of my weekend which was out of character for this blog, but the purpose was a demonstration to myself to see exactly how important routine is to the weight loss process. It's Tuesday, I have been back in the comfort of my own home for 48 hours now, and STILL I am dealing with the disruptions from this weekend.

I can't stop going out of town. I can't put my life on hold while I lose my final 50. I have been through this before and I can tell you, it's not worth it. I need to still be able to live my life normally, I can't decline social invitations, I can't shut myself in while I starve and exercise myself into a smaller body.

I have to learn how to do both.

There has been a lot of talk on routine lately because I know that the next few months will be anything but ordinary.

Next week: Milwaukee
Spring break: Las Vegas
Saturdays in March/April: weekend HR certification classes

Plus all the things that have yet to be planned. Something always comes up. ALWAYS.

The good news is that the weather is finally cooperating. I woke up to check the weather forecast for the week and found nothing but sunshine and happiness. 37, 37, 36, 36, 43 on Saturday. And with that, it looks like I have a week of long runs scheduled.
