thursday

Im feeling a bit discouraged today . Even though I ate well on the calorie front yesterday, my weight was up this morning. I havent been able to get a workout in all week and today looks no more promising. Cranky sick kids are starting to wear on my nerves. Its harder to still be compassionate on day 3 of illness. Im just plugging away at the housework. So that seems to be under control. I find if I stay busy(less sitting around), the better I am able to manage my eating. Although, Im pretty tired today, a nap was very tempting. The research people just came out with a study proving what I already knew. You eat more when you are tired. Really! They say that you eat on average 300 more calories a day. I can tell you for a fact, that when Im tired and not eating well, its far more than that! The research people though did not tell me how to combat this problem. Getting more sleep when you are a mother of young children -- well its very often out of my control. MegaMom
