I'm definitely hungry this morning. I think it has a lot to do with how poorly I slept last night. My six week old has been sick so it's made getting good rest a little more difficult. It was also the first day back at school. My oldest two are in elementary school and even an hour wasn't enough time to get ready. I tried waking them by turning their music on in their rooms. Then I turned the lights on. After my husband turned on the blender #1 woke up but #2 just kept snoozing. I finally had to physically wake him, reminding him it was the first day of school. #2 definitely isn't a morning person. I made my kids pancakes for breakfast with peanut butter and syrup. I also heated up some bacon.
It was a little hard to pass on breakfast with the kids, but being so busy getting everyone ready, taking pictures, giving blessings, and somehow even nursing the baby kept me too busy to talk myself out of my morning meal replacement shake. I got the kids to school and came home then finally made my shake. #3 is probably going to want a shake every time I make one for myself. That's a bit frustrating for me because I feel like it's a waste of food since I'm also feeding him a meal. We'll see if it wears off.
Today I want to go for another mile walk. I am thinking I'll just walk a mile for my first week. If you're really following this blog it definitely won't be fast progress. But this is the reality weight loss story of a Mom of 5, not a celebrity story or an infomercial. I want to set realistic and obtainable goals, pushing myself little by little until I am back at my optimal weight and strength.
Oh, and what is my optimal weight? 140lbs with the appropriate muscle mass... not just 140lbs and all squishy. :D
Here's to a good day!
