Phew! Well things are starting to line up a little on the kiddo front. We night weaned our “baby” who turns 2 next week (!!!) and now she has a 15-30 minute nap and is sound asleep at 8pm. Interestingly, she sleeps much sounder and longer now that she does not count on my breasts to get back to sleep (TMI?). I had a feeling this would be the case but never imagined that she would start sleeping through the night so well!
So. That being said, I am much better rested for obvious reasons and so that takes the whole “I’m so exhausted I can barely function” obstacle out of the equation. Let’s not talk about jury duty, a magazine deadline, going out of town for #allume, and 2 birthday parties before the month’s end. I won’t be exercising at all this week. I just don’t. have. time. I’m freaking out just a little.
Exercise
As usual, I haven’t been able to fit extra exercise in as I’m still trying to get housework and work to mesh well. I did get weight training in twice this week so I’m psyched about that.
Run/Cardio: 0 of 3
Strength : 2 of 2
Abs : none
Diet
I definitely ate lots of apples, grapes, carrots and such this week. Was it enough? No, but I was tempted to eat out. every. single. night. I managed to throw together nearly every meal even if it was a little hodge-podge.
I kind of lost control on the pop this week. I think I had 3! This is one case where I think hubby is a bad influence on me — which isn’t normally the case.
Fruit/Veggies: 6 days
Juice: 0
Pop: 2 over goal
Choices over water: 0
Eating Out: twice
Overall Goals
Stats-
Challenge Start Weight: 160 lbs
Week Start Weight: 157.5 lbs
Week End Weight: 157 lbs
Total gain/loss: -0.5 lbs
Given my meager efforts, I’m glad that I’m not gaining. Especially since it’s practically winter!
This week, I have a mom’s group meeting this morning, jury selection (ugh), work, halloween pics for girls, work, my daughter’s birthday, my godson’s birthday, another mom’s group meeting, and then I prep for Allume and my daughter’s ACTUAL birthday (on the road — isn’t she lucky ;?).
