Another snow-filled no-school day. What can I say... No gym, but shoveling for an hour followed by a trudge around the neighborhood with the dog was a decent workout. I was a little witchy with the kids. I want them to go outside and play and not sit around the house all day with the TV on. I still have things to do and not one of them includes entertaining them. I don't want to hear about how bored they are... It makes me want to pull their kid cards!!!
My weekend was mixed. I was really super sick on Saturday. I didn't eat much, and couldn't work out. I had the fever/cold/chills (norwalk virus??). Sunday was my daughter's 1st communion so I had to make myself get better. I got up early and did 4 loads of laundry, got clothes ready for the kids, showered and made myself look presentable and got breakfast on the table. We actually were on time for church at 9:00. We went to a breakfast buffet afterwards (my daughter's choice) and I ate 3/4 of an egg beater omlet with veggies a very little cheese, 1/2 c potatoes and fruit. THAT'S IT! Since I still wasn't feeling 100%, I didn't have the appetite and that made it easier to turn down the breads and breakfast meats. What I gained was a lot of self pride. Look how I handled that one!! It gave me a real push to stay within my calories and sport a loss come Tuesday. In fact, I've already stepped on my own scale and it is showing a 3 pound loss after last week's .5 gain. That would be a great boost to the BIG LOSER TEAM.
And now my poor day... A friend of my daughters showed up uninvited, my other daughter brought the neighbor in to play. I am feeling a little overwhelmed with expectation. The friend is a talker and making LOTS of plans for her and my daughter. I sense that someone will be disappointed with how things end up today and I hope it's not me! (I must get a backbone!)
