Larry I've been MIA for a few days. Middle child and hubby are sick, and middle child is a bit of a drama queen in general. Which means when she's sick I get woken up several times a night with her wailing my name like she is legitimately dying because her nose is dribbling. My adrenaline won't let me fall asleep very quickly after that. Good times. I've been surviving on naps, and I still got my swim in yesterday and my strength training the day before. But I did have to skip my run. C'est la vie. But sleeping and rest is my priority right now as I'm pretty sure it's what has kept me from getting sick thus far.
Have staff meeting this morning. Tonight I have my endurance bike ride...supposed to be for 90 minutes. Tomorrow hubby is supposed to get up with kids so I can sleep in, but he has been wallowing like death has struck. Typically I get sick first, and then him. So if I do get sick, there is at least the possibility that hubby will have more sympathy for me this time.
Eating has been decent...except for last night when I licked the bowl on the chocolate chip cookies I made to cheer up the sickos. Which I don't consider bad in itself, but I did it right before bed and my goal is to not snack an hour before bed. *shrug* Still not too bothered. Eating well doesn't work for me if I'm forbidden from any fun foods. I can snack when I like as long as it's not excessive, and I didn't eat a bunch of dough...just the remnants on the bottom of the bowl. *pats myself on the back*
Good luck today everyone!
Laura - So, are you addicted to triathlons now?0 -
Val before you know it they will be grown with their own kids calling to whine how they kept them up all night and you'll say, your turn!
We are doing errands today. Sending off bday gift to youngest.
Do walk later.0 -
Sorry Ive gone missing. Lil girl has something...low grade fever, low of appetite, and the whiniest, grumpiest attitude EVER(which is the hardest part). I'm reallllly hoping to get her back to school by Thursday. Meanwhile I'm in a funk that I'd rather not talk about. Eating well, but not a deficit. Exercise non-existent except for speed walking to do errands and pickup son knowing lil girl is home alone during it :-/
Holding out for DH to return next week. This has been a very long 3mos as temporary single Mom in a foreign country, lol!0
