Disappointment

Well, forget every hope I had of staying on track yesterday. Instead of not snacking, I snacked all day, overate, and just couldn't stop. I felt so hungry!  Then last night I had a beer. :(

I couldn't figure out why I was so hungry all day yesterday. Then last night my throat started getting sore and I began to feel weak. I'm coming down with something. :(  I always feel like I'm starving when I'm sick. 

I woke up this morning STILL feeling sick. I'm actually still lying in bed. I want to go back to bed, but the hubs went for a run and the baby is up. I'm so jealous of his run. It's perfectly cool outside and he got to run outside by himself...heaven!  Hopefully when he gets back he'll let me just sleep. I feel like I need it. .

Dessert

Last night the hubs slept in the spare bedroom again because we're waiting 24 hours fever clear before we let him out of quarantine. ;)  We were missing each other, and started texting back and forth as we lay in bed. It was just silly and flirting, and fun!  He went to give me a goodnight kiss, virtually, and it went a little like this:

In case it's hard to see, he sent an emoticon of a smiley blowing a kiss...and I sent him one back of a smiley wearing a germ mask. He followed that with knives!  LOL  That's one of the things I love about him...his sick sense of humor matches mine. :)

This morning, the girl child had an early soccer game. Afterwards, we decided to go to WholeFoods. We used to do all of our shopping there before we moved further away, and we both miss it terribly. About a block from the WholeFoods, we saw a Rosebud's Italian restaurant and decided to grab lunch there. I'm not sure if it's a national chain, but it's a local chain and we love it!  I got the charred tuna salad with a lemon vinegarette, and it was devine. Just look!  Isn't is beautiful?!

At WholeFoods I was in heaven. We bought good steak and a rack of lamb (which I can't find anywhere near where we live). We fresh ground some peanut and almond butter (can't wait to have the almond butter in my oatmeal tomorrow!), my daughter pilfered all the samples (and some bulk items that weren't supposed to be samples), and I found this tea:

We also got the baby some dried fruit. While the hubs was grilling steaks, I showed him the fruit pieces and said "Look, it's just dried fruit, no added ingredients"...to which he pointed at his deink and said "That's just barley". 

We forgot to get ice cream for dessert (I didn't forget, I'm a firm believer that we don't need dessert everyday), so the hubs had an idea for us to make a fruit salad. The girl child and I made the salads, while the hubs bathed the boy. I must say, it was a great idea because the salad turned out delicious!

Time Out

Yesterday sucked. I need a time out. 

I started off at the gym with a 2 mile run/walk, alternating between 3 mph and 5.5 mph, on a 1% incline, every quarter of a mile. I then did some leg presses and lifts, and followed it with a workout on the slide board. 

This thing is actually pretty fun, and my balance is getting better too!  My legs definitely feel like they had a workout. They're tired today. 

The rest of the day was filled with lunchroom monitoring, picking my daughter up from school, homework, cooking, cleaning, and then my daughter's school had Curriculum night from 7-9pm. Then there was bath, book, and bed for both kids....all.by.myself. I'm so over the hubs being sick. (As I'm sure he is too.) It really makes me value the work that he puts into our family when he's not sick. Doing it all on my own sucks!

I was absolutely exhausted all day long, and it manifested itself into over eating. I went over my calories by about 400. I should have just gone to sleep instead of eating. They were all consumed after I put the kids to bed. I had wine, cheese, and cookies. I would have been better off just sleeping. 

I woke up this morning still exhausted. I've decide not to workout this morning. Instead, I'm going to stay around the house and do some laundry. Most importantly though, I'm going to nap when the baby naps. I need to catch up on some sleep, so I can get back on track and don't over eat today.
