What's on your Menu today (Photo Friday) RNYers?
Good morning DD2 and gang. I've been missing you guys. Things have been crazy here and I'm struggling to find the motivation to get here and read, much less post. This week has been BAD for my plan. Halloween has kinda killed my motivation, plus my hubby has been gone for a few nights. My house is a complete mess again and I'm overwhelmed. But this is a cycle that I go through often, and it kind of leads into the QOTD. I NEED routine, because my head is so scattered that if I'm left with free and open time I get absolutely nothing done. I need a plan, I need to know what I'm doing and what is expected of me on a regular basis. If I don't have that, things go to **** pretty quickly.
That is why it's good that I'm going back to a regular 9 to 5 (or 8 to 5) M-F. It'll be better for me than this sporadic schedule. I'm at Jo-ann's for another week (My last day of availability is next Friday, since I want the weekend off before I start the new position on Monday the 14th.
I don't work again until tomorrow, and my hubby is going to be home today by 2pm from Texas, so I'm going to try to get as much of this house cleaned this morning as I can.
For today's Photo Friday, I have pics of my boys. These guys are really what keeps me going. I love them so much!
I also want to share a picture from Halloween. My little one is in the "robot" costume in the front. It didn't turn out as great as I would have hoped, but he didn't care. He had so much fun and it was awesome to get out with him. He was a trooper and wanted to keep going and going. Candy is a great motivator, lol.
I haven't made my plan for the day, as is usual this week. I am currently drinking coffee and don't really feel like eating this morning. My weight is holding steady at 157, and I've been weighing every day. I haven't had any wine this week (at least since Monday) and I'm okay with that. I am going to do my best to get back on track today. What I really need to do is get this halloween candy out of the house. I've never really been a chocolate lover, but I've been eating this stuff like it's going out of style. So, today I say NO MORE.
Thank you all for being here for me. I'm kinda struggling right now, but I'm pushing through and feel confident I'll be back on track here shortly.
I love the robot costume! and he is super adorable!
And i totally agree - i need routine because when i'm left with freetime everything goes to **** for me too.

If you made that costume, it turned out a hundred times better than if I had made it! It's really very cute, almost as cute as your son!!
Hang in there on the struggles... we've had friends in town, and while I've resisted most all temptations, I did have some wine last weekend.... and mostly I'm just pissed off inside with all of the foods they keep bringing in! LOL They leave tonight, and I hope they take the food with them to the next place they're staying (and I love and adore these guys, don't get me wrong, and they're great house guests... I just don't like their food choices!).

You sound like my twin,Deanna. If I don't have a to do list to check off every day I get nothing done. And don't feel bad about struggling,everyone does. I'm going through a period now where I just want to eat. I choose not to but my mind really really wants to. Wish I'd cycle back to not caring about food because that's much easier to deal with. But in the meantime I cope by keeping busy and drinking lots and lots of fluids. One choice at a time,right?
