In the house with 2 sick kids...need support

Hi everyone

It's cold and rainy here in the NE and I'm home with 2 sick kids...very little sleep
I stuck to my cals yesterday and hit the treadmill, but I am eating out of boredom and only had 200 cals last night for dinner....I wasn't hungry but woke starving
I've already used up too many of my cals and it's not even 1:00
Good thing is the kids are laid back..playing..and on the computer so I hit the treadmill for 45+ minutes

Any advice to keep busy w/ out eating!

hugs from another NE mommy! lol this weekend was rough and my guy is sick too....not easy to get your workout in! I feel your pain!

maybe while they are playing on the puter you could throw on a video or the music and do a dance party! if they are up to it! My son loves on demand music we go from the salsa/mernegue to disco to swing...he's a riot! lol...and I get my jam on!

I wish you luck and that all our kids get better too...now I'm sick but its all part of the job right LOL

hugs!

Sounds like the perfect day to go through drawers & closets.....for donations or to take to consignment shops! When my son was sick, as a little one, I knew there was always something that could be straightened or cleaned (and it will burn a few more calories :happy: )
