Week 3, Day 2 - Two Steps forward, One Step Back

Am I allowed to use being sick as an excuse to be not so awesome?  I'm sick and I don't feel like improving my life today! More like, 'I'm sick and I don't have the energy to fight."  Oh well, hopefully tomorrow I'll be on the upswing and do better. In the meanwhile, I pretty much failed in all my challenges yesterday :(

1) Lose 10 pounds - Hit 160 even today!!  Which basically puts me close to being back on track.  But we'll see how tomorrow does on the scale because generally when I'm sick I pig out.  The saying goes, "Feed a fever, feed a cold" right?  Well.... that's always how I did it.  It's been really tough today to not eat everything in sight when I'm feeling icky.  Hopefully my efforts will shine through on the scale tomorrow.

2) Diastasis class - I did all my exercises, but the splint is really annoying me. My waist is definitely getting smaller, but my hips aren't, so it keep riding up into my ribs.  I get my next Tummy Team appointment in 6 days, so I can address this issue with her then.  Also, since I've been sick, I hope I'm not blowing out my diastasis every time I cough.

3) Exercise - Again with the feeling sick thing.... I don't really feel well enough to exercise, so I'm not gonna!

4) Get Ari in bed and asleep by 9pm - Last night was a bit of a set back in this area too.  Ari was in bed at the assigned time, but storytime went over until 9:10 when I finally turned off the lights and walked out.  Then at 9:23, Ari asked for some cheese because he was hungry, which I definitely believed because he refused dinner.

5) Get Lilah to FINALLY sleep through the night - Lilah woke 3 times in the night before she got up around 6:30am.  The first time was 10:30pm which was kind of a weird time for her.  I had already been sleeping for a while at that point, so only looked at the clock after I had walked into her room and started nursing her. She also woke up at 2am and 5:30 which are much more normal for her.  She does have a tooth which is going to pop through at any second, so maybe that's why she was up earlier than usual?

6) Wean Lilah - Do I sound like a broken record yet?  Because, we went backwards on this one too :(  6am, 8am, 12pm, 7:30pm, 10:30pm, 2am and 5:30am, which puts me up to 7.


Alas, better luck tomorrow...
