Not a stellar week, but . . .
Hi everyone. Sorry it's been so long since I checked in here. It's been a rough week. The baby hadn't slept more than an hour and a half at a stretch in 6 nights until last night. She's teething and growing and it's just been a tough time for her. Last night she was up and down for a while, but she was able to sleep from 2 till nearly 7 this morning, and we both feel better for it. The poor little thing slept in the car on the way to her Gramma's today, too. Her ears are feeling better, I think, and she's just about to break a tooth through, so hopefully she'll be herself again soon. She's such a sweetheart about everything, and never complains or fusses, that I hate to say a word about the lack of sleep. I am SO lucky to be her mom! And I feel the same way about her sister. I know I tend to go on and on about my kids, but they are so amazing to me. :-) I am LUCKY!!!!
Anyway, it seems like when I'm this tired, all I want to do is eat. I'm up 2.4 lbs. (some of it water weight too) and I'm surprised it wasn't worse than that. Today is the start of a new weight-week for me, though, and it will DEFINITELY be a better one. It just has to! :-)
Exercise-wise I didn't do so well either. My back has hurt since last week (I talked to a trainer/massage therapist finally about it and it's just a pulled muscle) but I've been pretty lazy as a result. I've done the minimum, but half-heartedly. I think I'm going to repeat my c25k week because I don't feel like I improved my endurance at all since I just didn't push it. I didn't do my ab work because it hurt like heck.
That's enough whining from me. The visit to my Gram's house this weekend went surprisingly well, and I took the girls to see Horton Hears A Who on Sunday. Sooooo cute! The only two kid-friendly movies playing were that one and Nim's Island, and I thought I would rather have seen Nim's Island, so I Rock-Scissors-Papered with F since she wanted to see Horton and she won. Turns out, I'm glad she did. :-)
I'm off to find out how all of you are doing!
BTW - There are flowers blooming EVERYWHERE down here. I can't remember a prettier spring!
Overall happiness today = 9
Weight-related happiness today = 6
