3/9/12

Today was a ROUGH day, well, rough is probably putting it lightly. I woke up with my sinuses a complete mess. I could hardly see, my eyes were watering all day long and it was just painful. Olivia spent the morning complaining that her tummy hurt. We brushed it off as her typical attempt to get out of eating her breakfast, and lunch...until she woke up early from her nap, whining in pain, and then threw up everything she'd eaten. Proceeding to throw up a few more times over the course of the evening. Amelia took a 4 hour nap, which didn't strike me as odd...she had eaten well all day, until dinner, when she wouldn't eat at all. She was acting completely normal other than that...until, out of nowhere, she LOST it, EVERYTHING, right in the middle of the living room floor...right in the middle of Christian and my eating dinner. Ay, Ay, Ay. Let's just say, between we 3 girls, Christian was a very busy guy today.

To top off this horribleness, my weight in today was disappointing. Even though I completely expected it, I took it really hard. I ended up gaining a pound this week. With my array of illnesses the last few weeks, I haven't been able to work out (really, there is NO way I could have), so while I have been good about watching my diet, I knew it was going to catch up to me. As the day went on, I started to put things into perspective and wasn't quite so hard on myself. Tomorrow marks 2 months since I started my diet and exercise program. I've lost 10.6lbs (4.82%), only gained once in 8 weigh-ins, and I'm down 8.75" (from 4 spots). It's nothing impressive, but I'll definitely take it, and it's progress, and that's all that matters! As soon as I start feeling better, I'm starting my new 60 day workout program. I purchased a new set from one of those daily deal sites, called "Top Trainers". I'm a little nervous to start it, but I'm excited to see some more results!

One piece of very exciting news is that our new carpet is officially in. I LOVE it. The basement is already so much more comfortable and cozy. It looks great, and feels even better. SO exciting. Now, it's time to shop and decorate! Good times.

Christian and I both passed out shortly after the girls did. Christian and Olivia spent in our bed so he could keep an eye on her. I passed out as soon as the girls did. Here's hoping for a much healthier day tomorrow!

Here is my Chloe, my sleeping buddy :)
