Anyone notice that I\u2019ve been awol the past two-and-a-half weeks?! Yeah, that\u2019s right, I\u2019m on a major \u201cwhoops\u201d with this project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">It all started with a long weekend trip to stay with friends at their corporate beach house. I know that I successfully maintained my habits during our summer vacations this year, but this time was different. I didn\u2019t have a lot of down time to consider my habits while at the beach house. I think that I still adhered to most of the habits by default (helping out around the house, cleaning up dishes, etc.), but I just didn\u2019t track it at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Then, my daughters and I all left the beach house with the flu, courtesy of our hosts. It was the sickest any of us had been in years, and the first time I\u2019d ever been that sick with both daughters struggling at the same time. My youngest was delirious and hallucinating, keeping me up all night with her panic about the loud roar that she kept hearing, crying that \u201cyou\u2019re the only mom I have,\u201d and wishing she would die so she wouldn\u2019t have to feel this bad anymore. Needless to say, decluttering and washing my face fell by the wayside. We postponed hosting Thanksgiving.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Next, my husband, who had thus far been spared, got the flu worse than any of us. He couldn\u2019t sleep at night because of all the coughing, and his fever topped 104. Thanksgiving: canceled. I took over all the morning duties getting the girls ready for school, which, if you know anything about me, you know that I\u2019m like a vampire when it comes to the early morning. It practically turns me to stone to see the light of day before 9am. At the very least, it makes me grumpy. My husband had to opt out of going to an important client interview that was a good opportunity for him at his job. Our kitchen counter turned into a mini-pharmacy with all the products he turned to, in desperation to get better in time for the interview, for nought.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Finally, I tried to start my habits back up, but then threw up my hands and gave myself an additional week off. There are no hard and fast rules for this project, so I\u2019m allowed. I\u2019ve taken a short sabbatical, but guess what? I\u2019m back at it this week, still motivated to continue on. I updated my tracker to effectively negate these past two weeks, and will start my week 20 habit (take medicine) two weeks later than planned. In the end, my 52-week project will last 54 weeks. If you think this makes the project a failure, on the contrary, I\u2019m rather proud that it survived this 18-day hiatus.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">During this time, all hell did not break loose, as you may have thought. I may not have been tracking progress as usual, and certain habits did fall off, but others were maintained. As a result, the house stayed in decent shape, and I continued to lose weight (albeit only a tad &#8211; we did still have a Thanksgiving feast, even if the party was canceled).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;\">I\u2019ll let you know how it goes. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whoops!
