Day Sixty Three.

    It felt good to sleep in a while today but I couldn't sleep in all morning because my twin sister was visiting. She initially had said she would be here around 11am and I wanted to fold laundry before she got here, which I did. She ended up showing up around 12pm and she had coffee which I was happy about! The laundry I folded contained mostly the undershirts which I dropped on the floor on Monday morning. It took me longer than usual to fold the laundry but I'm glad that it is done. I also had to throw the sheets from the spare bedroom in the laundry because my Mother is spending the next few days with me and they hadn't been washed since my boyfriend's Brother stayed over. Once my sister arrived we had some lunch and just talked for a few hours. It all went by so fast it felt like we were together for only half an hour.
    Today was the hardest day ever to go to work knowing that my sister was still here and my Mother was coming, but I managed to get there in time for the Wednesday meeting. I actually didn't have a horrible night at work, it was really busy but manageable. I also had time to have dinner and get coffee, it wasn't until almost 9pm but I'm not really complaining. This morning I was able to finish my benefits enrollment because when I went on the website it was fixed! I was so glad that I got that taken care of but I still have to finish my performance review. I think I'm going to try to get some more of that done tomorrow morning, it will just be such a relief when that is finished. When I got home my Mother was in a good mood and we spent a lot of time together talking.
    I spoke with my boyfriend for a few minutes on the phone right before I went to work and he seemed pretty busy. I only heard from him a little bit through texts tonight but he seems stressed about tomorrow because I guess he has to work nights in the City again. The hardest part about him working nights is that he still has to work during the day because he is in charge of so much. I am really starting to look forward to the weekend when we can both do a little bit of relaxing together. As for right now we don't really have plans and I hope it stays that way.
    So I'm pretty disappointed with my dieting this week so far. I thought that it was going to be a good eating week with exercising but that isn't how it's going. When my sister showed up today she brought me some left over brownie cake she had made her Father in Law for his Birthday this last weekend. I ended up eating two pieces of that today plus a bowl of pretzels-in addition to breakfast and dinner. It's really hard to get motivated knowing that I'm going to be freezing and bundled up for the next three months. I need to remind myself that the healthier I eat now will make it so much easier to get into shape when I want to in the spring. I'm good with deadlines so maybe I should give myself a goal of losing 10 pounds by a certain time. I'll give myself a reasonable amount of time, like 6 weeks maybe after the Holiday and see how that goes. Alright, well that's it!
