One woman's journey through life as a mom.
I keep talking about how tired I am and I finally realized why in addition to the exercise and limited food intake, I feel like I am going to collapse from exhaustion several times throughout the day. Jett has been teething and I didn’t even know it. What kind of lame mom am I to not realize that my baby just had THREE molars come in? No wonder his sleep has been so sucky lately. On top of teething, he is learning to walk and everyone knows that when babies learn a new milestone it affects how they sleep as well. Actually I think we as parents make up any excuse we can to try to explain all the phases our kids go through. I’m just going to accept that many things are unexplainable and that is OK.
So, one of my children is finally asleep after a long day, while my other is bugging me to eat dessert. I want to laugh in his face. He didn’t even eat lunch today, but was lucky enough to have an enormous piece of cake complete with fondant at a 1st birthday party we went to today.
Yes, I did taste the cake…….AND the fondant…..AND I had two pieces of this ridiculous concoction called popcorn thunder cake! What you do is take popcorn, crushed oreos, marshmallows, strawberries, blueberries, peanut m&m’s, then cover it in a mixture of melted chocolate and caramel, quickly put it in a cake pan to set and put in the freezer to cool. It was totally worth the extra gazillion calories.
Other than that, I ate a bunch of celery sticks, some fruit, a mini tuna sandwich and some roastbeef. I tried to keep the snacking to a minimum, but it is definitely hard to do at a party.
I had 2 low-fat turkey dogs for dinner and a salad of baby spinach, hot peppers, feta cheese, olives and spiced olive oil. This morning, I had my usual ezekiel toast with almond butter and raisins. Love that!
I also completed day 7 of my 30 day challenge on the Wii, plus some extra boxing, baseball and tennis. I feel like I need to get to the gym tomorrow though. A longer workout is definitely needed, not to mention it would be nice to get out by myself for a while. A massage and a pedicure would be nice too, but I doubt that will happen so I’m reaching for more attainable goals. Ha!
