Sunday:
- Big day for R! After Hebrew School she got her ears pierced. She was nervous and cried a little, but she did it and couldn't stop admiring herself when it was over.
- Ear Piercing was celebrated with a trip to the food court where R and her big cousin got Frosty's from Wendy's. The mall was a mob scene (Sunday before Christmas) so I snagged a table while everyone ordered (serving the double benefit of me not having to see/smell all the fried food), and I stood while everyone ate (I was looking around the room instead of staring at the kids eating ice cream)
- We had Chinese food takeout for dinner at my parents' house. I had steamed shrimp with broccoli -- with the brown sauce on the side. I've previously gotten the garlic sauce, but it is VERY sweet so I can only imagine the carb content there. I figured the brown sauce was safer. I had some of my brother-in-law's mooshu chicken, which is mostly vegetable (cabbage), but I recognize that it is sauteed in oil so I only had a little bit.
- After the kids were in bed, I went to see "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" with my husband, sister, brother-in-law. Before the movie they all purchased candy at Target: Rasinets, M&M's, and chocolate covered nuts. I brought my Cinnamon Pretzels and a bottle of water. I was fine. It helps that I was excited about the movie and riveted the entire time!
Monday:
- Sunday night into Monday morning was awful. Although she made not a peep while my mother was babysitting, L has been fighting a cold and started waking up in the middle of the night miserable. Long story short, after multiple wake-ups, I wound up rocking her in my arms on the floor of her room, and then later I got her into the crib, but was laying on the floor with my hand through the slats of her crib so she knew I was still there. I think I snuck out and back into my own bed around 5:15AM.
- I forgot to weigh myself. Honestly, I'm impressed I was able to dress myself.
- After dropping off the kids at school, I went home and slept. I had planned to go the gym, but I could barely see straight. Sorry, gym. I know I'm making excuses, but I think less-than 2 hours of sleep was a justified one.
- The rest of the day was busy, but uneventful, food-wise.
Tuesday:
- Weigh in was a loss of 3lbs! Considering the stress and lack of sleep I was dealing with, combined with birthday parties and movie temptations, that is HUGE. I'm proud of myself. WIN.
- Did a trial of a Mommy & Me Gymnastics class with L. She LOVED it, and even took a great nap afterwards. WIN and WIN.
- We baked Christmas cookies with our next-door neighbors. I did not have any. And they DID smell delicious. WIN.
- So yes, a lot of WIN. Other than the sleep.... I'm still losing that battle...
