Today was another busy day. Steph and I got the cleaning done at the old house. We started at 8:30 and worked until 4:00. The carpet cleaner showed up at 10:00 and was there until 1:00. We went to Subway for lunch and I had a Chicken Bacon and Ranch melt with double cheese and avocado. That along with a 32 oz full on HFCS Dr. Pepper trashed any potential for eating well today. Let's not mention the three strawberry shortcakes snacks I had. I didn't tell you about the Chinese food I had last night and then ate the left overs tonight. :/
When we got home, I let the boys go swimming in the pool. They were excited, even though the temperature of the water was only about 73F (23C). They jumped in at 5:00. Tyson and I hope they haven't upset the neighbors by how much noise they were making. Ryan finally got out about 6:30. Conner climbed out about 7:00. Devon finally crawled out as the sun went down about 7:30.
Tyson and I got some boxes put away. There's still several to deal with around the house and a whole storage unit full of them across town.
I didn't accomplish any writing. Tomorrow's another day......
Once again, I'm not counting my calories for the day. I'm way off track. I think I'm back to square one. At least it's a place to start from.
See you tomorrow.

Update April 1, 2015
Hello all.
I haven't written in a couple days. Sorry about that. My mother-in-law and two nieces were here. We've been very busy.
Monday we finally signed the closing documents. In California, however, you don't get your keys right away. It can be up to 72 hours afterwards. In our case, we got our keys at 5:15 last night. We were working until midnight to get everything moved. Fortunately, lots of people from our church showed up to help us. If they hadn't, we would have been still moving today.
My mother-in-law, nieces and my granddaughter, Ryleigh, all climbed in the van and left for Salt Lake today. I'm not built for toddlers anymore. I've been exhausted having her around. However, I know I'll miss her. I was bawling today as she left. :'(
After they left, Stephi and I went over to the old house and started cleaning. My mother-in-law and a friend from church had already done a lot of the kitchen work. I am so thankful for their help. However, we focused on the carpeted areas of the house so the carpet cleaners could get their work done tomorrow. Tyson was in and out, taking a load over, running errands like going to the post office, etc. He finally joined us all the time about 4:30. We cleaned until 8:00. We met the goal of getting all the bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry room and hallway completed. We even did the windows. Ack.
That leaves the refrigerator, oven, counters, dishwasher, mantle and hearth, three more windows and waxing the kitchen, dining room and living room. I think we can get it done while the carpet cleaners are there.
Another NaNoWriMo started today. There's a competition on the internet. To join, you must be willing to write a 50,000 word novel in a month. The main one is in November. There are secondary ones in April and July. I enjoyed this last one in November so much, I wanted to do another one. These secondary ones allow you to set your own monthly word count. I stepped mine up to 60,000. I didn't get anything done today so I'm already behind!! Tomorrow doesn't look good either. I guess we'll see how the day shapes up. It's better to stay on top of it instead of falling behind.
Well, my diet has gone back to old habits. I've been drinking a lot of pop, eating more sugary things, and just eating more in general. Eating is how I handle stress. Now that the moving stress is almost over, perhaps I can get back on track.
Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Comfort Foods
I was nosing around on the internet and came across this story. I ate my third chocolate chip cookie while reading it. Then, I decided I needed to share. Here it is.
I did horrible on eating today. I ate a lot. I need to get it back under "control". Tomorrow is a new day. Have a good evening. See you then.

Update March 28, 2015
Good evening!
Today has been a wonderful day. My headache went away after I rested last night. I've been very tense about the house/loan situation. After learning we could move forward, I relaxed quite a bit. My head and neck ached last night so I took plenty of ibuprofen and laid on the hot pad for a while. That seemed to help. Sleep did too.
My mother-in-law came today with my two nieces. It's been a nice visit. She took us out to dinner tonight to Olive Garden for my birthday.
Therefore, I am not counting my calories tonight. It would be outrageous.
See you tomorrow!

Today was a roller coaster. But it wound up being a good day. Lots of packing done and the LOAN WENT THROUGH. We're done with "It has to go back through underwriting. It will be at least another five days." HOOOOOORAY!! We will sign Monday or Tuesday and move probably later that day.

Update March 26, 2015
Hello. I trashed it today.
5:45 - two pieces of turkey, a stick of string cheese, and two small pancakes - 265 calories
9:30 - four ding-dongs and a 20 oz diet Dr. Pepper - 660 calories - I had been craving the chocolate and I had a sugar headache. As I ate the chocolate, I could feel the endorphins washing through me. It was quite a trip and I found it interesting. Headache went away too.
1:30 - Medium double quarter pounder meal with a medium diet Dr. Pepper - 1129 calories - yeah. The burger was super tasty. The fries tasted like usual, but somehow they didn't taste as good as they used to. Actually, I thought they tasted like crap but I ate them anyway. I really only wanted the burger.
6:30 - two of my burritos - 726 calories
Total calories of the day - 2780 - yeah, buddy.
Total water for the day - 32 ozs. - because I drank a lot of pop.
Tomorrow will be better. Especially if I don't kill the mortgage people. You think it would mess up the loan?

Update March 25, 2015
I didn't update yesterday because I failed miserably.
Today I did well. I'm still very frustrated with the loan situation. Waiting is difficult. Buying a house is emotional.
5:30 - two pieces of turkey and a cheese stick - 180 cal
1:30 - two of my burritos and a 12 oz diet Pepsi- 726 cal
7:30 - two burritos with chicken chili, cheese, sour cream and guacamole and a 12 oz diet Dr. Pepper - 522 cal
Total calories for the day - 1428!! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?
Total water for day - 48 ozs
I was busy today. A friend from church came over and helped me pack up the kitchen. I laid Ryleigh down for a nap late, at 1:45 and I slept until 3:00. Then we went to Stephi's swim meet. I guess I didn't give myself time to think about eating.
Interesting.
See you tomorrow.
