Week 4, Day 7

So here I am at Week 4, Day 7 with only two short weeks to finish my challenges and I seem to have had major setbacks in nearly every category. I don't know what happened this past week, but I feel like I've gone from rock star to 'has been' :(  How can I recapture my gusto when I feel so down on myself?  I'm right back at week two when I wanted to give up....

1) Lose 10 pounds - Steady from yesterday at 160.8 and totally lost sight of the promised land :(  Can Chinese food have a 2 day effect?  I thought I ate pretty well yesterday and now I'm just disappointed. :(

2) Diastasis - I managed to do 5 exercises again, but none with double splinting.  I don't want to lose all the progress I've made :(

3) Exercise - Yesterday consisted of a lot of grocery shopping and cleaning the house and car, but insofar as actual exercise goes, I'm down for the count :(

4) Ari Bedtime - This is perhaps the ONLY thing on the list which did not suffer setbacks yesterday.  Ari was bathed, booked, and in bed with the lights off by 9:04 with no coming out of his room.

5) Get Lilah to sleep though the night - Again a disaster!  I'm wondering if she's teething or if my milk supply has taken another dip because Lilah had been doing so well at sleeping until almost 4 and now 2 days in a row she's up at 1:30 & 4:30.  However this morning she also woke up at 5:30 when we pulled her into bed, then for the day at 6am!  Yikes!  So for all intents and purposes, I feel like I've been up since 4:30.  Maybe tonight I'll try plying her with milk before bedtime and I think I'll have to go back to some sleep training :(

6) Wean Lilah - Along with waking several times last night, Lilah wanted to nurse several times last night.  Her first nursing for the day was at bedtime at 8pm, but then she nursed at 1:30, 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30.  Finally at 6:30 we got her a sippy of milk which she drained, which to me says I have very little milk supply left.  I think tonight I'll have a sippy ready to go in the fridge and I'll try giving her milk instead of nursing.

Alas, today is another day....
