Getting Back Into It.

I am tired.  We have done a lot lately.  Including a wonderful relaxing trip in Maui (I'll write more later) but ever since we returned two weeks ago, I can't get my energy level back up.  It could be that we lost a whole night of sleep coming back on the red eye.  It wasn't the time but the rude man seated behind us from Maui to Los Angeles.  He talked loudly all 6 hours of flight.  We changed plans and thought maybe we could sleep on the trip to Portland.  Nope.  We had the loud "valley girls" behind us.  I felt like a zombie on those planes.

Sigh.  I feel like I can't get anything done but run grandkids around.  Not complaining about the grandkids but that seems to be all I can fit into my day.  I have tried to do little things here and there and they don't make a difference in the stack of stuff I need to do.  After dinner, I stop.  I do some brain games on my tablet and it relaxes me.  A glass of milk and then it isn't long before I go to bed. According to my new fitness band, I am getting some quality sleep, at least 8 hours.

During the day, I have been able to walk in a couple of segments to get 10,000 steps in.  I signed up for the 10,000 steps a day challenge and am determined to finish it.  We have been so busy since we got back that I haven't had much time to go to the gym or swim.  I snuck in a couple of rounds of both but really need to get back to my regular schedule.

Next week is the last week of school for the kids.  Of course, I have to get them to swimming from 3-4 everyday and a couple of other classes too but I do have most of my day to finish what I need to do.  Here is hoping that my energy returns soon!
