Doing Well

I am doing well on not eating sweets.  It has been easier than I thought, but there are moments when it is really hard.  Sometimes I just WANT to eat something sweet.  I have cravings for treats.  But I haven't yet had to do any baking and have my FAVORITE things in the house.  There have been things lying around that I would have normally eaten, but they are not my favorites. 

I am proud of myself for passing up so many sweets this past week. 

Exercise has not been going as well as I would like.  I have barfing kids and that is very exhausting.  My body feels so worn out lately.  I am not sure why.  I certainly haven't been getting adequate rest, so that could be part of it.  But my bones and muscles just feel so tired all the time.  I didn't exercise yesterday or Saturday.  Saturday I moved around most of the day, including going to about 9 different stores to return things.  Yesterday I laid around with a sick baby almost the whole day. 

My husband is out of town for 3 days which will make working out much more challenging.  A couple nights in a row he and I went on a walk after we got the kids in bed and it was REALLY nice.  We had a chance to talk and just be together and ALONE without some kid whining at us or asking for our help.  I think we will be walking together much more often when he is in town. 

Today I think I will do the elliptical because I just don't feel like going out in the cold. 

Right now I am off to go through a giant pile of laundry and figure out which of the clothes are ACTUALLY dirty and which ones my kids just threw in there because it was easier than putting them away!
