Our homeschool year started today. It was a little bumpy, but we’ll get through. I can understand why some homeschoolers go all year round, with smaller, more frequent breaks. We are out of the habit! But we’ll get back in, it will just take a couple weeks.
I think this is going to be much better for my weight loss efforts. There is something about having a schedule and being disciplined in one area that helps me be disciplined in other areas. Does that make sense? While our life is more stressful during the school year, I don’t seem to feel the stress as intensely because I already have a schedule and system in place to handle it. We’re eating at more regular times, which helps that overly-hungry-so-I-must-binge-now feeling. And my husband is excited to get back to our three-times-a-week family swim evenings. That’ll help, too! Now if I can just get rid of this PMS and water-weight. Grrrrr……..
I keep telling you ladies- eat asparagus! It helps!!

Vacation time always seems to be harder for me to stick to my plan than school time. Something about that schedule

Fun isn’t it lol! We started lessons on the 14th and you’re right, it does take about a week or so to readjust. I’ve considered going year-round but I like having the extended summer break (although we do take several long breaks through the year).
Ack PMS! Not fun. I’m expecting my visitor again soon (but hopefully not a week early like last time). May your visitor leave soon and take her baggage along with her!
