Oh no a gain!

Ouch, weight in was today and I'm up 2.5 lbs. I'm not surprised as my eating hasn't been the greatest, that and since Saturday I feel bloated and dehydrated no matter how much I drink, so hopefully, it's mostly water weight. I'll have to be careful to watch what I eat and get some exercise in since I'll be leaving Saturday for 5 days. 2 days of travel, 3 days of conference.

On the sleep front, I haven't been getting up at 6 o'clock sharp since Saturday. I slept longer on Sunday as I had gone to bed at 3am thanks to Sadie's birthday party! Then yesterday and this morning, I was just too lazy and tired. I've been feeling exhausted lately. Hopefully, my son will fall asleep easily tonight so that I can go to bed early. It's been a bit crazy, at the same time, I'm trying to get up earlier in the morning, we're trying to get him to get to sleep by himself. He use to do it just fine until he started having nightmares this summer and since we've been staying with him until he falls asleep. A hellish habit to break for sure. It's so guilt enducing and heartbreaking sleep training a child, but if it means he gets to sleep faster and earlier it will be better for his health and save my sanity as I feel like I have no time to myself. I do have some time, just none to really spend with my husband and I think that that's hard on both of us. It took J(our son) a mere 50 minutes to stop crying last night. Lets see how he does tonight.

This is how I feel today: Like I can't wrap my head around everything I have to get done. I have to go write a game plan now.... Have a good day while I dig myself out!

P.S. My first photo inside a post!

Little bit, by little bit...

So much for writing every day! I'm not so good at commitments it seems. Speaking of which I still haven't worked out since my dance class on Thursday. Bad me!

Thanksgiving weekend is coming up, and even though we haven't planned anything special, I think that I should be planning meals since the grocery store will be closed.... I wonder what to make. Anybody have suggestions for something yummy? I'm tired of always eating the same old thing. I guess that this will be a good reason to actually open a cookbook!

I'm really tired today as I stayed up too long catching up on tv shows while darning socks, and mending pants, etc. I'll probably fall asleep at the same time as my son tonight (even though we put him down at 8:30, he often doesn't sleep until 10). I always feel so refreshed the next day, but then can never keep up going to bed early. I am such a night owl, which isn't good since I have a day job and a son that actually needs his mommy to be awake during the day. Sometimes I miss the student life! Though that's pretty far away and I wouldn't actually want to go back at this point.

Oh yes, and I had my WI today. I lost another half pound. It's not much, but at least the scale is moving. Although it's a bit disappointed after last weeks loss, it just goes to show that if you eat more points than you have, and don't exercise, you just won't loose weight. So here goes another week and the challenge of staying on plan!

Speaking of DS, he's calling. See you again later!
