Apparently Monday, and the rest of the week has gotten away from me. That's all right, because I know I'm doing the best I can this week.
Here's my report. I'm doing good with the water, I can do better though. I'll work on that the rest of the week. I'm doing good with my vitamins, I did forget yesterday. But I remembered the other days. It's difficult to remember because I can't just take them first thing in the morning with my Thyroid med. I have to wait "at least 4 hours after taking thyroid medication before taking vitamins or supplements...." Annoying I know. But there's a reason it's on the bottle I guess. I've either gone to the gym or worked out at home everyday this week, just following what my body says I can handle. I've been SUPER tired, fatigued. Could be that time of the month looming and coming off the Christmas candy high and switching my diet to a better one combined with the girls being off and on sick for one, the off and on sick for the other. Can't they just both be sick at the same time and be done? No?
However I slept in today until 7 am!! Then worked out at home. Yay! I've found my "mini migraine" triggers. Screen time and definitely tiny high pitched screaming. Not necessarily from my girls, from the other kids I sometimes watch. So I'm adding a new goal for this week. Patience... I need to keep my cool better. :) I need to put the baby in the pack and play and remove myself first of all, and then once she calms down then pick her up. My girls will have to start sitting on their beds for their time outs sometimes so that their crying isn't creating the headache. It will be good for all of us to have breaks from each other.
So my other goals I will keep the same. Gym, sensible diet, water, vitamins and patience. In two weeks I'll get back into more specifics again.
Okay, I have to get Elora lunch and ready for school. Go team! Good job Mom!
It's so much easier to "tune out" your own kids' sounds than other kids. Good use of the pack and play, she is safe, and then just walk away taking deep breaths. Drink, Drink, Drink...water that is! CINDY this goes for you too.
ReplyDeleteDo you guys remember my patience story? I prayed for patience for years...never had any, but the Lord blessed me with plenty of opportunities to practice patience. So be careful what you pray for!
