Not feelin' hot today. I took Nyquil before bed last night and while it helps me sleep, I sleep great for about 4 hours and then I'm WIDE AWAKE!! Fever seems to be gone though, which helps a great deal in getting stuff done around the house. It's amazing how quickly things fall apart when there just isn't the time for routine pickup (especially when you're doing it yourself). The kids help some...empty the dishwasher, put their clothes away, etc. but they have enough homework to keep them busy.
Tonight Megan and I are going to do regular Zumba. Ben gets to hang out at the pool and Matthew and Zachy will be hanging out in the kids' room. I think it will be a good break for everyone seeing the last three days Ben, Megan and I have done the treadmill, bikes and eliptical. It's almost like a treat!
I'm getting a battery for my BodyBugg today. If you don't know what that is then think about Biggest Loser. It's that device they wear on their arm. It monitors your caloric burn, activity level and steps, and then you upload that to the computer to keep track. Bottom line, if you burn 1,000 calories a day MORE than what you eat, you lose 2 lbs a week. It worked last year when I lost 40 lbs. Unfortunately, after losing the baby I put all that back on. Grief is like that....I'll do a seperate post about that later.
I have to remember that it's been less than a week, and results are not going to be instantaneous. It takes time. I have a lot of bad habits to undo. Discouragement is not an option.
