So, this past WEEK AND A HALF, I have not counted calories or worked out!!! My 13 month old daughter starting throwing up and having diarrhea. I thought it was just the flu but something didn't seem right. So after countless efforts to try to get her to eat/drink something and keep it dowyn, I ended up taking her to the ER. They told me she had Gastroenteresis, (sp?) which is inflammation of well, everything gastro. So for a week straight, vomitting and diarhhea. She also breastfeeds, too. So as you can all imagine all I did was clean up throw up, poop, nurse her to call her down, then clean up the mess again. Along with daily chores and taking care of my 4 year old. Then when the baby starting feeling better, my husband got it. I only got a little bit of it, and I feel fine now.

ANYWAY, I need to get my butt in gear! I am more than ready to get back into my workout routine and start counting my calories again!

:heart: Thanks for listening!:heart:
