DAY 26

I think I may be getting sick. Woke up this morning with a heck of a headache, and really tired. Some of it may have been eating something off the diet plan yesterday....or could be be catching whatever the boys have had. ugh.

I realllllly didn't want to workout at all today. I had to force myself. I got 20 min in on the elliptical (pushing myself faster every 5 minutes, and getting at a harder resistance) 20 stomach crunches, 40 arm exercises...I am determined to not have flaps. Mom came over around 1, and we went for a nice 20 min walk. I wish I could say I felt better afterwards, but no such luck. Glad I did it though, since I am having a helluva time with this diet this past week.

Note to anyone thinking about having a baby at the same time as having a teenager: It is way harder than you think. Dealing with hormones, and drama PLUS a needy crying baby is not an easy task. You would think that a teenager would be more independent and need you less at this point, but that is oh so wrong. If anything they need you just as much if not more. I wouldn't trade either of them, but good lord....I have to pray at LEAST 5 times a day to give my strength to not lose it. I just remind myself that one day I will actually miss all of this. 

How is this and the diet related? I want a damn cheeseburger and fries! I didn't want to cook. Or clean dishes. And I want the comfort of a juicy greasy hamburger patty, warm melted velvety cheese, and a toasted buttery bun. *sigh* I resisted, and ate cucumber instead. I know I know...my body will thank me for it.
