Becoming a Butterfly

So, it’s been about 9 days since I posted.  I was super dooper sick then.  Feeling much better.  My ears are still a little stopped up.  I’ve made it back into the gym.  I went last Thursday.  I’ve gone Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so far this week.  Couldn’t run at all last week bc my lungs were still so screwed up.  I did .25 miles running straight Monday, .50 miles yesterday and .75 miles today.  I ran after and throughout  my 40 minutes but that’s all I could do without stopping.  I’ve got to get back to my mile.  It’s amazing how quick you get back to basically starting over when you get sick and dont go to the gym for nearly 3 weeks.

So…weight crept all the way up into the high 215’s.  Gotta admit I was freaking out.  Granted last week was TOM also.  Yesterday and Today were both 212.4.  Shocking really because I’ve been snacking like CRAZY!!  I’ve got to get it under control.  Stupidly I let my son bring home Cosmic Fudge Brownies for the first time EVER… Well…I’ve had 3 packages and he’s had 1.  Never letting those in the house again.  Anyways…I’ve got like 3 more pounds to go to get back to the pre-sickness weight.  I had gotten to where my pants were painful to wear they were so tight.  Just in the  3 or so pounds I’ve dropped since last week they are comfy again.  Whew!  I did not want to go back up to my size 18s.  I worked all damn summer to get into those 16s.

This week is crazy (for everyone I’m sure).  We have karate today, Cole needs a haircut desperately, I need to get to the publisher and get contracts signed (I’m doing the school yearbook), Sonic drinks for my sons class on Friday for winning their Box Tops contest (which I’m also in charge of), pass out goodie bags I made, make choco pretzel sticks cos they were a huge hit and many friends got their feelings hurt over not getting enough, karate party friday night, and going out of town Saturday for my hubby’s Step-great grandma’s 100th bday.  Party is stupidly on Halloween so not sure if we will make it back in time for good trick or treating.

I’m exhausted just thinking about it.  Well, gonna go shower and try to get a few more things done.  I’ve come home from the gym and napped for about 3 hrs each day this week.  NOT TODAY!!  I’ve tried to get some stuff done.  I’m so sleepy but I’m going to fight it!! 

I hope you guys are all on track and doing what it takes to keep me motivated!  HA so selfish!  Have a super day/week!
