Another month down-crazy to think. On the training end of things, they are going. I have hit my first mental wall, but I guess its to be expected. Been going strong for about 11 weeks. We are half way to our contest-this is when I got to get tough. I have one week of carb cycling behind me. Not so bad-today is a low carb day for me. The key is to keep busy. Honestly, these past eleven weeks have been a blur. School has been keeping me occupied, and I hope it continues to do so. I spent my afternoon correcting writing pieces after school just to pass time. I was happy to see the growth in their writing, as well as see time fly quickly, making my oatmeal come fast!
The big news on the personal front is...
We recently made an offer on a house...I so saw myself in this little cape. It was perfect size, quiet neighborhood and yard. I started to picture Brendan and I taking our next step. I couldn't help but get my hopes up, even though deep done inside I knew it was too good to be true.
It was a strong offer, the best we could do. We went over asking, committed to 20% down and were giving them the time they needed to move. Low and behold there were two cash offers! I can't imagine having that money laying around in cash!! TWO people offered cash!!! From the day we made the offer until the day we found out (Wed.-Sat.) I didn't sleep a wink! Now that we found out the news, its sucked the life out of me and I still can't sleep. Although, last night I took some tylenol PM to help. I feel so defeated. I am trying to muster up my happy thoughts again and hope there is another dream house in our near future, but sure is difficult. Like any disappointment time will heal.
On top of that crap news, I have this rash around my mouth-weird and ugly too! I was playing doctor and doing research online, it could be a million things. I was hoping to get it resolved by going to the minute clinic Easter morning, but no such luck. If its not gone in a couple of days I am going to have to suck it up and make an appointment!
The good news is...April vacation is just around the corner. I could use a week to myself to rest and relax. Limited energy with this contest prep. obviously because of calorie restriction. Going to keep giving it my all...today is a rest day. I am going to peruse the Internet for some houses! Tomorrow is a fresh start in the gym...we start a new cycle of workouts, that should get my motivation flowing!
