I had a bad day yesterday. It was 29 degrees outside with extreme humidity. I had a horrible nights sleep but got up and got on with my day. I headed to my mother's group and walked around with my twin boys. I didn't eat the yummy morning tea but I was slightly tempted. I got berated for having my mum look after my twin boys when I return to work. One of the other mother's thought it would be too much for her. I'm pretty sure my mum wouldn't of suggested it if it was going to be too hard and it's not like she's going to be doing it for nothing. I will be paying her and she's going to do this instead of having a job. I think looking after the boys where they are at now is easier for her then standing on her feet and travelling to a job.
My mum have a blood disorder that means her platelets multiple uncontrollably and she has to take a chemo tablet to control this. At time she gets quite sick but it's something she's going to have to deal with for the rest of her life and is doing the best she can. I will be keeping an eye on her, if I think it is too much we will change the plans. She also enjoys some money coming in that she can spend on herself.
Once I got home from mother's group the boys were so over tired and cranky, I gave them a bottle and put them straight to bed. One of the boys was so cranky he fought the sleep and by the time I got him to sleep the other one woke up. Then it was time for lunch and getting tea organised and before I knew it it was dinner time and I had done no exercise.
I was feeling a little flat and spied some chocolate and had two pieces before I ever thought about it. When my husband got home it was still 30 degrees outside and we decided to wait for it to cool down. I was so hot and bothered I had a coke and even though I enjoyed it I was disappointed in myself. By the time it was cool enough to go for a run one of my sons woke back up and was screaming. By the time I calmed him down and got him back to sleep it was past nine o'clock. There was going to be no run.
This morning I woke up and was disappointed with my efforts. I got up and did two Michelle DVD's and burnt over 500 cals and tonight I will go for a run and get close to another 500 cals. At least today I was able to combat my bad day yesterday.
Don't be too hard on yourself Michelle! Sounds like a rotten day, and would be very difficult with 2 young boys playing tag team on you. Remember it has taken a long time to build up bad habits and will take us a while to change them.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your morning effort though!
Thanks Jane, you are always so supportive.
ReplyDeleteAt least you did the right thing and the next day got back on the program. I think that's going to be a major thing for a lot of people, if we slip up we can't get the mind set of oh well, stuff it I can't do this.
