So... I'm sitting here thinking, 'I really need to blog' but really... what is there to say?
I have A LOT to complain about... and that would be taking the 'low-road', so I'll stick to the high road and not complain.
I mean, why would I complain that I can't seem to budge the scale? That my clothes are not fitting properly. That I have been nearly starving myself to lose weight, only to be mocked when I step on the scale. Okay, okay... that is a little drastic, I'm not starving myself, but I am keeping my caloric intake to 1500 calories a day, which 'feels' like I'm starving myself. That is not anything you really care about, now is it?
Or, why would I complain that I began a new stage in my weight lifting program that has my fanny on fire right now? I mean, why in the world would you want to know that?
Or, why would I complain that I'm so dogged tired all of the time. That going to bed at 9:00ish just isn't early enough for my delicate sensibilities. That would be ridiculous because everyone knows that 7 hours of sleep is plenty for the average normal person.
Or really... why would you care that I'm behind in my reading homework for my small group at church? Or that I have just been getting by in the laundry department. Or that my house just isn't as clean as it used to be. Or, that my kids don't have toothpaste. I mean, really... that's not any of your business!
So, now that I've decided to take the high-road, I'll tell you about the cool stuff that is happening in my life! My girls are happy and healthy! My husband is happy and healthy! And me? I'm happy and healthy too... tired, but happy and healthy!
Have a great weekend everyone!
See - life is good. Welcome to the world of working mums - and trust me all will be good.

You know, I read a helpful hint from Jillian Michaels recently that to bust through plateaus you should vary your caloric intake each day to keep your body guessing. Say, 1500 Monday Wednesday Friday, then 1400 Tuesday and Saturday and 1700 Thursday and Sunday or something like that. It keeps it so your body CAN'T get into that rut.
ReplyDelete7 hours of sleep is not enough for me, either, but it's usually about what I get. I'm tired, too, but I guess I've just heard that is what moms feel like for a long time.
You are blessed, my dear, with a healthy, happy family, a job you like, and talents God has given you to perform all your roles well.
Like your friend mentions above, my trainer friend has her clients do a heavy calorie day where they can get their pizza or burger fix, etc. every ten days so the body jump starts. Something to look into?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you need to find something to rest your body so sleep is more restful? There are so many natural remedies for that.
So good to hear from you via blog! I'll call this week to catch up.
