I am constantly fighting this feeling that I'm behind and that I need to do more. I swear it's on repeat in my head "Do more.. do more.." but by the end of the weekend, I've always completed all my essential work for the week. Then usually I'll start bits and pieces of papers that aren't due for a while. I think I'm in pretty good shape homework wise, but I guess it's just my brain not used to being back in school. I know there is always something that can be done, but it's a balancing act. I have to stop and relax sometimes, and tell myself that it's okay! So I'm learning how to do that.
I took most of this weekend off though, between J's birthday, and cleaning the apartment. We got a notice that they would be inspecting our place (I thought it was because we'd been here for a year, but they're inspecting everyone's places. It must be a yearly thing). And we had not done a good clean since we moved in. We keep it decently clean, but not the entire apartment at once. It was a lot of work compared to what we're used to, but it looks so good!
J's bday was pretty low key. We went to the mall and got some clothes. We found some great sales at old navy. ($19 jeans, we love sales!). And then we had lunch at Boston Pizza. It was low key, but a good day.
I'm slowly making diet changes as well. Trying to eat more veggies and fruits, smaller meals more often, and actually having home cooked meals. No change in weight so far, but I know that overall I'm being healthier :)
So glad you are doing this slowly. It's hard to make changes and have they stick with you! Good job!
