I'm sooo cranky lately! My kids are determined to not let me get a good night's sleep. My one-year-old wakes me up at 5:00 am with screaming. I don't mean a sweet little cry that says, "Mommy, I'm awake, and I just can't wait to get started on this glorious day!" I mean a loud obnoxious cry that says, "MOMMY! IF YOU DON'T COME AND GET ME NOW YOU ARE GOING TO BE SO SORRY!" Seriously, she yells at me. All caps. I'm grumpy when I wake up to the sound of a one-year-old telling me what to do.
I don't mean to harp on this, but I have a real hard time sticking to my diet when I'm tired. It's so easy for me to go from "Today I am going to be good" to "Oh who cares about losing weight!" I wanted to lose four more pounds by Thanksgiving, but the scale hasn't budged. It's not going to happen now, but maybe I can still lose two.
I still haven't had sweets.
For dinner we had salsa chicken on top of corn tortillas. It was very good, but what I really want is:
or this:
or possibly this:
or maybe even this:
But, fear not. This is the last... I mean it, LAST... grouchy post that you are going to get from me! I have to change my attitude if I am going to change my eating/exercise habits. There are two weeks until Thanksgiving, and it is perfectly reasonable to expect to lose two pounds, heck, maybe even three, in that time. I can do it. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
Its ok Sammy, sometimes its just like that....We've all had been there (well maybe not woken up by a baby, but you know what I mean).
ReplyDeleteGood job on not having any sweets regardless your mood. THe scale will budge soon you are doing great.
I sooooooo totally understand. Its the 3yr old that wakes me - usually by climbing into my bed, but the 1yr old has his moments too.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for that last picture of wants - that you can do, and healthy and everything if you make it yourself :) I make pizza all the time. Love, love love love LOVE pizza. So do that kids. Guaranteed dinner every time. Whole wheat crust, small amount of GOOD whole milk cheese (taste better, use less, less fat/calories overall) and your favorite toppings - ours are mushrooms and broccoli - and voilà! Pizza. :) Stay strong girl - you got this!
