TGIF
This is my first 5 day week in I don’t know how long. We have had so many snow days and with Kyle being sick I honestly think we have missed at least 1 day a week since before Christmas. How sad that this feels like an accomplishment.
An accomplishment that I do feel proud about is I have stuck with my eating plan these last few days even though I haven’t been able to exercise. Last night we were EXHAUSTED and decided to do carside pickup from Applebees. I ended up ordering the steak/shrimp kabobs from the WW menu. My hubby ate fairly healthy but splurged and got the 3 course meal which came w/dessert. But instead of caving and ordering what he did I stuck to my guns. I’m proud of myself for that.
I’m toying with the idea of letting up a bit on the lo-carb thing and just trying to eat healthy. The reason this scares me, though, is that I love fruit and usually go overboard. Fruit and yogurt would be the only things I would add in; if I add any breads I do not lose weight at all. So what I think I’m going to do is see how this weeks weigh-in goes and choose from there. I think that’s part of the reason I’m being so disciplined, I want to be able to make an informed decision.
I’m going to gush about my hubby for a minute. In all of the struggles we go through with my son things are unfortunately unbalanced; Kyle completely prefers me. It’s way more than a “momma’s boy” thing. Because of this I only can have down time if he’s sleeping, which is rare. We have access to a website through our hospital where we can post updates about his health so that we don’t always have to contact people when something happens and he posted something about how hard I work with Kyle and how so much of the difficulty falls on my shoulders and how proud he is of me. I knew that he was proud of me but it’s nice to see it in writing. It’s even nicer that he told everyone else about how hard things are for me. He’s not a guy that normally shares his emotions with others so this is huge for him. I definitely married the right guy.
What a sweet hubby story… he’s a keeper. Thanks for the encouraging words on my blog.
Belated happy birthday. Mine is in three days… I gave up birthdays when I turned 40. I had the greatest birthday party when I turned 40 and last year we celebrated the anniversary of my great party, so in three days I’ll celebrate the 2nd anniversary of my kick ass birthday party. How convuluted is that?
Congrats for making a good choice eating out. It’s amazing how easy it can be. Even if you drop the lo-carb diet it’s a great thing to do when eating out.
WOOHOOO! Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months and POW, the weight is gone :). You’re doing a good job, keep it up
