Back on the "diet" this morning. Had pizza and cake at Julie's birthday party, as well as a bunch of other things this weekend that I wasn't supposed to have. As of yesterday my net loss for the first week was 4lbs. Not bad I don't think for not following it every day. I would splurge a little here and there, and I've been ignoring the morning lemon water, cause ick. Hoping to have another successful week. Though we are heading to my Mom's this coming weekend for my sister's 21st birthday, and I've been informed there is going to be jello shots. So another weekend of not following it. Guess I better be good this week so I can at least end up with a net loss for the week. Now, I wouldn't even be "dieting" if I weren't gaining weight. I'm not back to my pre-pregnancy weight from this last one and it's been 15 months, figured it was time to put my purse down and do something about it. I don't have time right now for the gym, but I could be doing something at home. To start with I'm just trying to get my eating right again. Baby steps.
This morning has gone pretty good. The older kids were able to get up quietly enough to allow the baby to sleep till 7am. That's an hour to 90mins more then she usually sleeps in the morning. I came downstairs, got my coffee and sat down for a few minutes while the kids got ready for school. Then I started to clean up the kitchen some. After that it was diaper folding time. Had ordered 12 more flat diapers, 12 more 8 layer doublers and already had the fleece liners cut for them. So I got to folding and right after I got the first one folded she woke up. In the high chair she went with her drink and some puffs so I could get the rest of the diapers folded. Cloth is so much easier then disposables. I don't have to worry where I'm going to find $80 a month to buy diapers. I just have to wash them.
Today will consist of laundry. The constant battle of trying to keep the house picked up of baby toys, and maybe a walk after baby has her lunch. Since it has been working out that she just doesn't take a second nap, we might as well get out and get some fresh air and get me some exercise.
My head is pretty clear today. I would have liked to sleep more, but today just wasn't my day, tomorrow is though :).
