It’s all up to me

Today is another snow day.  We got out early yesterday due to a snow/ice storm and originally had a 2 hour delay scheduled for today.  About 7 am it was changed to a cancellation.  At this point we will be in school until June 10th and they are predicting another major storm Sunday/Monday.  This is amazing.  Oh well, what can you do.

So I’m at home with the boys.  And at this minute I’m rethinking my decision to have kids.  I love them dearly but I’m ready to pack them up and send them to grandma’s.  The baby is down for a nap but when he gets up I’m taking him to my SIL.  I’m keeping my older son because he has a birthday party today so I can actually take him to that instead of having my MIL do it.  He just has been very challenging these last 2 days.  But in general he’s a great kid so I guess 2 days of difficulty average out with all of the great things he does.

I’m finally back on track today.  When I knew we had a 2 hour delay I worked out with weights and planned to hit the treadmill after school.  Now that we don’t have school I don’t know if I’ll get my 2nd workout in or not but if I do it’s a bonus.  I have officially decided not to weigh myself until the end of our contest (Easter).  I feel so relieved.  This way I can just focus on healthy eating and exercise and gauge my progress by my clothing.  I’m considering journaling my food because even though I think I’m doing the same thing I did a couple of years ago when I lost weight fairly easily, maybe I’m eating more than I think.  I’m also considering going to the doctor to see if some hormones are out of whack.  I was tested for PCOS a couple of years ago because I do have several of the symptoms but everything came back normal.  Does anyone know if it’s possible to develop PCOS when you haven’t had it previously?  That would explain my difficulty in losing weight.  Either way, I need to go to the gyno for my annual exam and I’m going to explore different birth control options as a backup to my hubby’s vasectomy.

Oh well, the timer is about to go off to let my older son out of timeout so I should sign off.  Hope everyone has a healthy day.
