Day 11

It's another jumpstart day. Can't believe it's come around again already ;) I'm leaving a 3 day gap between each JS day, so it's not a regular day each week. This means a bit more fat in the diet today, and maybe being less careful with quantities ;) of course, I'm not careful enough as it is with quantities! I don't tend to go overboard on JS days (well not since last Wed when I definitely went off the rails with it.

Anyway, today I should be going for a ride this morning (which can't be too long because I have a ton of stuff to do, being as how the last couple of days were sort of washout days for me as far as work was concerned. Also need to do EPOC today since I didn't get it done yesterday. This means I'll be out with it a bit... as Sat will be a bit challenging (given kids are home and I prefer to do it in a kid free environment, seeing as the only room I can use is the living room!)

I'm feeling a bit shitty today because I STILL haven't heard back from Dell (although they promise to get back to you within 24 hours HAH) and still don't have a computer! OMG... It apparently arrived in Australia over TWO WEEKS ago...GRR If they updated their tracking more often, or were better with customer service I'd be happy! If I don't hear back from them by this afternoon I will bloody CALL them (and probably have to deal with a help desk somewhere overseas...)

Well still haven't heard from Dell lol But I have done my exercise. Didn't do a very long ride this morning because I wanted to get more work done, but ended up chatting for a good long time after the ride finished anyway ;) However, I've still managed to knock back 4 annoying articles (want to get at least one more done today, to keep the client happy!), and I haven't done much for the other client whose work I'm doing right now. Also, haven't done any house cleaning or decluttering which I also need to do!

My son is starting basketball for the first time tonight, which means sitting around for an hour or so while he practices (and trying to keep the other two kids from being too bored). While an hour sounds long, it's not really long enough to go home and do other stuff before returning to pick him up (also a waste of petrol!). The challenge with the end of the week for me is that the after school time is also busy, so I can't get any work done then!

I usually try and map out my day so I get most of my work done before the kids finish school at 3:30, but I also do some work usually when they're home. I just can't schedule the time as well, so I don't make any plans that are TOO firm during this time. However, I still have to use the time in a disciplined way, which I don't always do. (Lots of Internet surfing, chatting etc.)

Well, 8:46pm and I've put the kids in bed. Haven't accomplished any more work though ;) but at least I knocked some stuff out of the way! I will send what I've done so far to my clients tomorrow, and hopefully they'll both be reasonably satisfied. I will get ALL this stuff completed early next week. I have a course that I need to work on and haven't started yet, a language to learn, a new book to start, and more clients to find! And, of course, WEIGHT to lose! I find that I ramble on waaaay too much about irrelevant crap in this blog, instead of on my WEIGHT LOSS which is why I started the darn thing in the first place.
