I’m baaaack.
It’s time for Get Skinny Saturday.
Which maybe I should start calling, “weigh-in every week even though you haven’t really been doing anything to work towards your weight loss Saturday,” but that doesn’t have quite as nice of a ring to it.
This week I did pretty much nothing in terms of the weight loss.
It was a crazy week for me professionally. I got invited to speak at a Women’s Leadership Summit and needed to put my presentation together for that, I was on the Huffington Post with my Zombie Oscars, I had A LOT of conferences about BlogU, and I was on Good Day PA (a local tv show) to promote The Cookie Jar Parable.

I had a lot of fun and it was a very cool opportunity to be on the show, but I can’t watch it without feeling incredibly FAT. Amy, the host of the show was super nice, but she was soooo tiny that I felt like a whale sitting next to her.
I do not like the fact that I am letting my weight interfere with my enjoyment of my professional accomplishments.
So, I intend to do something about it.
I really am just too busy right now trying to me a mom, keep up a house, and basically work 3 or 4 additional full-time jobs. (Blogger, author, freelance writer, conference planner) We ate take-out 5 nights this week just because I hadn’t had any time during the day to get to the grocery store.
I’m hiring a part-time mother’s helper. I have to.
I’ve reached a point in my career that I either need to bring in someone else to help, or I will drown.
I’m hoping that having someone to keep an eye on the kids for a few hours each week will allow me a little bit more free time to fit in exercise too.
But for now, all I can say is that when I weighed in this week the scale was back up to 178.2, which is a 1.8 pound gain over last week. I know perfectly well that it is because of take-out and a lack of exercise.
2014 is going to be a year of investing in myself and seeing how far I can go. It’s only been two months, but honestly, so far it has been farther than I would have imagined. I’m starting the next stage of that investment with bringing in some help.
We’ll see where that leads.
Hopefully to smaller pants.
