MF, I think you're at the point where you could have a convo with H regarding your to do list. He needs to know just how much you do during his absence to take care of the kids, house, and your own career. You've spent the past couple years going out of your way to make things nice and good for him but it hasn't really been fair to you. I don't think he understands just how much work you do and that he has not been pulling his fair share. Just my two cents.
I'm trying to cut down on sugar too but so far it's only been a good idea. Once I get rid of the Girl Scout cookies it'll be easier. I did get some almond milk to try out per someone's suggestion upthread. I didn't realize how much sugar milk had!
Also a question about the running. Do you find it too slow? The fast pace is the speed I usually walk so I'm finding it very difficult to jog that slowly. I love the interval training but wish it were at 145-148 bpm.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
