Topics Update****
School is going okay. I've managed to miss more class than I like because of Child #2's doctor appts but I had no choice. Next week is the last school week before Spring Break. So far I think I have A's and B's.
Child #2 has started into adolescence and personalities are clashing. She is still on the pre-dosage of the seizure medication and so far has had no bad reactions. She is doing wonderfully in school and has begun easing into wanting to be more "girly" (which is expensive)
Child #1 has been giving me grief. He is acting out at school (puberty anyone??) and pinching everyone in sight. I've tried to come up with solutions but the school just wants me to drug him. I'm disgusted and very frustrated. More on that later.
Joe's trip to the doc ended in a big surprise (for him), not so much for me. I knew something was wrong. He will now be taking Uroxatral (for prostate swelling) for well.....prolly the rest of his life. If he wasnt feeling old before, he is now. I think this hits home that he needs to start taking his health seriously.
Joe's mom is deteriorating quickly. The meds she is taking are making her hallucinate. She is pretty much confined to bed or her chair because of the pain when she moves. I dont know accurately what her mental state is but I can imagine she is highly distressed. Joe will be flying back out around the 18th.
As for me, I'm eating badly. I blame it on an approaching period (12th). Carbs and salt scream my name, I try to resist. I will be working out today for sure. The whole family is under multiple stressors right now and because I'm the primary caregiver, I end up shouldering much of the excess stress. I have to learn to "go with the flow" and "let go" of some things that I just cant control. Its hard for me, control is my thing. I'm sure that in time most of these stresses will resolve themselves and life will continue as it always does.
Last but not least, Molly. Our "new" dog. This dogbarks. Alot. Grrrrrrrrr. She whines. Alot. We are hoping that once she gets used to the new environment these issues will be....less. HA!
Ok, thats it for now. Hope I answered all of those burning questions. Tata.
11 pm
I ate very well today.
B: 2 Spelt toast, 2 egg whites
L: 1 cup bean & ham soup, 1 tiny sliver bread
S: 1 Tall Latte
D: Nachos (beans, chips, salsa)
S: unbuttered popcorn
You'll notice that I snuck a Latte in. I insisted that we go to the gym, is it my fault that Starbucks is across the street from it? Child #2 wanted a sip and I said fine, just dont tell your father. Once she decided it was yummy she was like a crackhead and I had to cut her off. I did 40 minutes on the Ellip and lifted some weights so I burned at least 500 calories today. Yay me!

Remember Carbs (the right ones ) Are not bad. Check it out! Please dont starve your body from what it really needs. I'm not saying go back to the way you use to eat but try looking at the weight watchers program in a smaller portions way, But always Protiens first! You are doing so great! Just dont cheat yourbody of what it needs at this point. You are almost there to goal weight. and I am so proud of you! because I too know what you are going through.
I know the good and bad Carbs but I tend to WANT the bad ones, esp. just before Aunt Flow arrives. I couldnt follow the Weight Watchers program effectively because I'm allergic to dairy and I dump so easily. I always say "I ate way too much" or "I ate really badly" but honestly even a bad day for me is around 1,000 calories with about 150g carbs. I tend to eat more when I workout heavily too. You watch, in a week I'll be back to protein and veggies! Thanks for your comments, you rock!!!!
