Week 2

Yep. I knew it would not be a good weigh in today, since the food served at my retreat is yummy and amazing and plentiful, lol. So I gained 4 lbs. Which means I am actually up 1 lbs since I lost 3 lbs this week. Sigh. But it's a new week.

Last week was just a diasaster. I stuck with my points most all week except for the retreat (thurs-sun, lol) but didn't get near the physical activity in, or drink as much water. I only walked one day and then I barely had time for the Wii fit, and there was not a single sym visit. Darn it.

Today would have been a gym day, but Starla had a fever so I couldn't take her to the childcare, as if I needed reasons to keep me at home! I wanted to spend extra time on the Wii fit to make up for it, but ended up being so darn busy all day, right now is the first time I've gotten to stop for a moment. It's been one of those murphy's Law type weekends and start of this week; whatever can go wrong, will. But I am going to keep my chin up. Tomorrow is a new day.

I tend to be a stress eater, and today seemed extremely stressful, so although I did well on food for most of the day, by the time I was rushing (late) to get Roman to his make-up volleyball game today, I was cramming chocolate into my mouth. Darn it. I need to come up with a game plan for when those stress moments hit and I just want to grab something sweet.

I usually do much better on the days that I work than on days that I am home, and unfortunately since Starla still had a fever for most of the day today, I won't be going to work tomorrow. She has to be fever free for 24 hours before she can go back to school. And then Bourbon started feeling bad this weekend too, and ended up calling me from school today to go pick him up. So we shall see if he ends up staying home or not. Roman has that awful seal bark cough, and wants to do anything to stay home tomorrow and not go to school, but I don't think his cough is enough to keep him home.......we shall see.

So I am going to just have to try hard to stick to my points, drink lots of water, and get some excercise in tomorrow even if I am home with sick kids. Does house work count as excercise?!! :)
