Being a stay at home mom of 4 little darlings has its share of work. Despite what any naysayers to this statement believe, I don't sit around watching soap operas eating bon bons. Having 6 people living in a house creates a LOT of mess. There is constantly meals being eaten, toys and books and puzzles being left out and a constant nagging to "put that away when you're finished, bring your dishes to the sink, take that bag of garbage out, wipe the seat if you tinkle... etc etc" Doing Revolt has been fabulous for me, but taking 2 hours every morning to do the warm up, workout and then shower and dress means 2 hours of NOT doing the other stuff. So today being my "rest day" means, oh wow, I really need to get that laundry folded and mop my floors and hopefully get the bathroom scrubbed because I haven't gotten that done in a while. And of course this is between making breakfast, doing the dishes, helping kids get dressed, go potty, brush teeth, change a diaper and then next thing you know its time to make lunch. Don't forget the coloring, playdough, puzzles, crafts, read me a book requests. Its no wonder daycare is so expensive, caring for kids is a big job.
I still haven't weighed myself... because of course I can't. I sure have wanted to! I can't wait for tomorrow to see if all my hard work has paid off! I'm not at all bored of the food this week, its all fabulous and I'm happy to keep eating it. I've done a lot better at sticking to my meals but have still snuck in the occasional bite of this or that...oops. I do wonder however if that is because I'm still nursing a toddler... I never did ask if I should eat more calories or not due to that fact. But mostly that's because she really only nurses once or twice a day. Yesterday was a cute day. She refused to take her nap at the usual time and around 4:30 the poor thing was exhausted and asked for num nums. We layed down on the couch together and she actually took a wee nap on me for the first time in a while. So here's my lil girly having a nice snooze with a booby pillow :)
