weekly recap...

Hello Friday, boy am I ready for bed.  This has been one LONG week, and each day I have felt like I could barely make it through the day. The lack of sleep is definitely taking its toll on me. I don’t have a problem falling asleep; it’s staying asleep that is the problem.  I feel like I could go to bed right this minute and sleep thru Sunday…  But of course that isn’t going to happen, if I am able to sleep thru the night, I will be woken up bright and early by two little ones that will be ready to start their day, full of energy.
We have another full weekend, with a birthday party tomorrow and a family get together on Sunday.  My mother-in-law is in town, so we are trying to take advantage of all the time we can with her before she heads back home.  And the husband has to work all weekend, so that means it is going to be an extra long weekend for me.  Do I have any takers that would like to come over and help?

I didn’t do a weekly recap last week, since I busy planning a birthday party.  But let’s just say last week I was down another pound from the week before.  This week, I’m up a pound from the week before.  So you do the math, I have gained two pounds in a week, thanks to cupcakes, a cookie cake, candy, a cake, ice cream and cookies…  And we will be having more sweets tomorrow!  Pretty much all I have eaten this week is sweets, so no need for me to list it out and embarrass myself, you get the idea for breakfast, lunch and dinner I was consuming some kind of sweet treat vs real food.  I have been drinking lots of water, so I will give myself a slap on the back for at least continuing to drink water.  I hope to get somewhat back on track this week, but with it being Thanksgiving (I can’t believe we are a few days away from Thanksgiving), I’m sure a lot of comfort food will be consumed.  But I’m going to try hard to be good.
I’m saying goodnight, I can barely keep my eyes open to type this post, and my daughter is in bed screaming.  
  Cheers to the weekend!

Weekly recap, plus a busy weekend...

I love Fridays!  I truly do, I look forward to not having to be woke-up by an alarm for the next two days…   Instead I will wake-up to the sound of my daughter screaming, but at least I will get an extra hour of sleep, or so I hope.  I wonder if it is normal that I talk about sleep so much!?!  I mean, I really do, that is all I really ever want to do is sleep...
  This weekend is going to be full of fall festivities, and I’m excited about all the activities we have planned, but I’m also already exhausted thinking about it all.  I know, I’m always exhausted!  Tomorrow we are going to meet up with all of the cousins for Boo at the Zoo, we do this every year, and this is one tradition I make sure we don’t miss.  So I’m like a little kid right now and all giddy inside.  And then on Sunday, we will attend the Fall Festival at the Church, which should be fun.

Do you have any big plans for the weekend?  What are your traditions?
Last week I posted about how I’m in a funk, and a little depressed about my weight.  So to help me get a better control of what I'm stuffing in my mouth, I thought I would recap every Friday, what has been consumed up to this point.  So, here we go…

***I have drank 4 glasses of water!

I have done a little better than last week, or so I think...  I have lost a little over a pound, so that is a start.  Instead of eating cupcakes, cookies, and other snacks like candy during the day, I'm trying to eat healthier snacks, like smoothies & yogurt.  I have also consumed more water this week, than I have since I was pregnant. I'm sure my body is thanking me right now, as I type this! 

I did find a detox, it’s called Mega Cleanse.  I just started it, so I can’t give much feedback on it just yet.  But the reviews I have read, everyone says this stuff works.  We shall see!  Let me know if you have tried this before, and if it worked for you?
Cheers to the weekend!  Hope whatever your plans might be that you and your family have a safe festive weekend!
