Great job on the running! I can go crazy and full speed on a crosstrainer, but when it comes to running, uggh. I give up. I always said I wanted to be a runner, but I have serious doubts that that will ever come true! My knees don't care much for it.. ahhh, oh well I'll stick to what I CAN do I guess
We ALLLL want the results right now! Crap, I'd give my left arm to lose fifty lbs... Come to think of it, thats probably what I'd get rid of without the arm, hahaha! <-- lame. I know.

April 1st 2010
So I didn't work out last night
I didn't get home till 8 pm. My husband decided to go cook diner at my in laws so he could make his father taste vegi tacos. At around 6 I make my daughter pick up her toys so we can get ready to leave be home early enough for baths and story times . Then my mother in law askes my husband help to clean her aquarium! Why on a week day, she didn't even have any water prepared to refill the aquarium and she decided that she was completely emptying it it amost 2 ours my kids where exausted and crying it was hell. Once I finnaly got them to sleep i just crashed on the couch till 9 and then went to bed, I feel so drained of energy both physically and mentally and that is what is holding back my weight loss, I slept well last night and I am still so tired this morning, what am I supposed to do go to bed at 8pm? My head ach are back too, last night I had decided to give up on loosing weight but I can't, mabe it's the time change i don't know, at least I have a long weekend comming up I can try and rest up some I wish my parents could take the kids till sunday the husband is working and I will be home alone for 3 days but then he will complain that he won't see the kids next week cause of his night shift so no breaks for me ...I wish he could be in my head right now for a day see how low i am feeling!
Anyways today so far
Breakfast
Bagel 1tsp peanut butter 6PTS
Coffee 2PTS
Snack
Curves pb bar 1PTS
Lunch
greek salad dressing on the side (I will have to total this up) around 4pts
3oz chicken breast 3PTS
snack
green tea
diner
some type of junk cause I am so down today (hopefully my mood changes and this becomes healthy stuff)
I feel like I have hit a plateau or that I even gained and I feel like giving up that loosing weight with my husband and kids is not possible. I tried talking with my husband last night and he told me now you are a mom, you have to live for the kids only there is nothing left for you. What the hell! Last time I checked I was still a women and I need me time so I can be the best possible mom. He is lucky he's not wearing a black eye cause all I wanted to do was punch him! Ok enough negatiity I need something positive to happen today to get me back on track.........I hate feeling sorry for myself and weak I am the glass is half full type of person, I want to kick myself in the behind just not sure i am still flexible enough to do it.

Glad to see you use some humour even though you are feeling so crappy! That sucks - I hate feeling that way and I know how hard it is to change it once your there.
Just think if you give up you will feel this way everyday! Remember how good you felt after going for that run on Sunday - it will feel that good again. Take some time this weekend to get caught up with your rest and get organized and you will feel better - I hope anyway! Wish I could say something to change the way you feel. Have a great Easter weekend and stay away from the chocolate - that will just make your headache worse! Try to cheer up! Tomorrow is a new day!!

Veronique you are phenomenal! Really I always wonder how you do so well and it really amazes me and inspires me. I even think of it when I am away from the forum LOL *and I promise I am not psycho!* But I have one 6 month old and sometimes it is SO hard. Severe lack of sleep makes EVERYTHING overwhelming. Did you know we could live longer without eating than without sleeping? I think we can only live like 10 days without sleep. So it's really natural that you are feeling low. You will feel better once you are rested Heck you're probably already feeling better today
Heck you're probably already feeling better today

Thank You Lisa and Xenon I need all the cheering I can get right now!!!!
At Lunch instead of jumping in my car and go get my lunch I walk over to the greek place, I figured 10 min to go and 10 min back I still have 40 min to eat haha.......It's a bit further then I calculated lol but 30 min to get there and back gives me a 1hour walk and I hate lunch at my desk! Since it is so beautiful and sunny outside it really help cheer me up and at least it gave me exercise, but I didn't put the dressing on the side and chose the option with rice, potatoes, greek salad, and chicken
, I better go for a run tonight and get chunging on that water cause I am sure the sodium contente is very high and weight in day is tommorow :S I am not expecting great results but I have to face the music so I will still weight in ...no choice it's my weight in day for the April challenge, so hopefully this week didn't do to much damage! Thanks again girls, I hope you both have a great long weekend!

UM....no. He has to realize that if you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of your children. My boyfriend is CONSTANTLY on me to take "me" time. Your kids need you, but they need the BEST you. They need a good role model. One that does what she says she's going to do, and shows them that you can still take care of yourself, and the people you love. If he can't understand that, then he'll just have to sit on the side lines while you leave him in your dust!

Thank you for that!!!!! I am hoping that when he said that he hadn't tought it throught, he was raise by a mom who does nothing for herself always for other and that just ain't me, but thank you for showing me I am not the only one who thinks this way!!!

A lot of people, especially men, are under the illusion that house moms are completely dedicated to their family, and not themselves. It's not their fault. It's just how people were raised. I came from a faimly that was completely opposite. My parents always got things for themselves, before us. Mostly my dad, though...but, he's a jerk. lol
You just seemed so down. You shouldn't be. You are doing such a wonderful thing, by losing weight. In a roundabout way, you ARE doing it for your family. You are making it possible for you to be alive longer, to share their lives with them. If that's not selfless, I don't know what is!

Do not give up!!! It is such an awful feeling when you let yourself backslide after so much hard work!! You deserve this! Your kids deserve a healthy active mommy! And even if he deserves a black eye every once in a while (like now) your hubby deserves a woman who is the best wife she can be because she is happy about herself!
I'll see you in the April Challenge!!

I hear you on the sodium, it kills me every time. Why does it have to taste so darn good? Be sure to get your water!
Glad you got to "sleep in". lol I know what you mean. I remember the days when 10 was the normal time to wake up and noon was sleeping in. Kids, and full time jobs, change everythingh, huh? Now I'm over the moon if I get to sleep in until 8!
Have fun on your day off and have a great Easter!
