Week 3, Day 4 - Hanging In

I hate that my blogs lately have been downright depressing! Most moments of my days are really good. I seem to write more when I’m feeling down. Perhaps I should work on that and blog about the good as well. Starting now.

I had a rough weekend. Nilla wafers and chocolate chips were my downfall. Even so, I was 211.6 on Friday and 211.0 today…managed to lose 0.6 over the weekend. Yay!! I can’t let that be a license to go off my plan though. I know I messed up, but I knew what I was doing and knew it wasn’t going to be helpful to the scale. 

Today is a new day! I’m looking forward to it, really. The weather isn’t great, but it’s not icy or snowy. Just cold with a biting wind. 

I can’t go to my OA meeting tonight because my babysitter is out of town. That makes me sad, but I’ve known for a week, so I can’t let it ruin my life. Last Monday, she also gave me notice that she’ll no longer be able to sit after Feb 11. However, she’s such a sweetie and has talked to several of her friends…one of whom I’ll be interviewing this week or next. I also have a 2nd lead from craigslist, and need to set up a meeting with her. Again…yay!! I’ve had so much trouble keeping babysitters. Okay, I lie…most of the time it’s me not asking them to stick around because they do (or don’t do) something they were supposed to do…like showing up on time or not getting the girls in bed before I get home at 9:30 on Monday nights! I’m hoping that one of these new finds works out well and sticks around for more than a couple of months. It’s hard work breaking in a new sitter. And it’s not fair to the girls. Oh, how I wish I was wealthy and could afford a nanny.
