My 3 year old has been sick for the last few days, and this morning it is even worse. I think it’s just a nasty cold, but the hubby wants me to take him to the doc just to be sure. So, I will. I feel so sorry for him. They outlawed all the sudafed-type stuff for little ones, so when he gets congested there is nothing to give him. :( Of course the only appointment they could get us is at 1:45 and the Naval Hospital is a good 20 minute drive. Which wouldn’t be a problem except his brothers get out of school at 2:55. I hope this is a fast appointment. I hate cutting it close like that.

In other news, I am not going to bootcamp now. So the new plan is to workout if and when I can get him down for a nap. The problem with that is that the hubby will probably come home for lunch and disrupt me. I hate people talking or moving around me when I am working out at home. It’s so distracting. At the gym it’s fine because I don’t know them, but at home I always think they are talking to me so I am constantly taking of my headphones and saying “huh? what?!” and that is annoying. Maybe I can get him to lie down and watch cartoons. He feels like poop though, and asks for a drink about every 5 minutes. Oh well. At some point today I will lift weights and do cardio, and tonight I will ride the bike for one episode of Intervention. Oh yeah, love tv night =]

I was doing some reading last night and I am recommitting myself (for the 5 billionth time) to clean(er) eating. It just needs to happen. I mean, half of my calories from cookies yesterday? What am I? 12?! Have I no sense? I would never let the boys do that. No wonder I felt like crap… I needed fuel and I gave myself cookies. So sick. Anyway, I am going to pay more attention to what I eat and the proper serving size of it. I’m making a new page where I’ll record everything I eat. I hate doing that because it is double work as I already log it, but I am thinking if everyone sees it I will be less apt to eat complete crap. Maybe not, but hopefully so. Also, even though I am gluten free now, I notice I am still eating a ton of carbs. I am going to try to curb that, too. I started by giving up my morning banana this morn. Boo! But it must be done. I am stuck at this weight, and I have been for a long time. I can’t keep doing the same thing.

Here’s to another Monday morning!

********************
I am so not an advocate of television babysitting, but on this particular morning… thank you Nickelodeon! I managed to get in a kick ass workout. 61 minutes worth of running and weight circuits. Yay. And I have been behaving with food, though I am not sure what to do for dinner yet. Need to figure that out. Ok, just wanted to update my food and exercise. I have a hot date with the laundry for now…

***********************
Took lil man to the doc and he has horrid allergies. They put him on allergy meds and also want me to watch him, as they think he might have asthma. NOOO! His dad has horrid asthma and I am the only one out of all of my siblings that doesn’t have it (which I hated growing up… I could have had an excuse to suck at sports!!). Poor lil man… He has been asleep since we got home. We ate dinner without him.

Speaking of dinner, I made yummy breakfast tonight. Gluten free pancakes taste and smell like sugar cookies. It’s kind of odd actually. The boys ate well, even after they found out their sausage was veggie =] I’m going to try to get on the bike tonight, so I saved a couple hundred calories for a snack after. I actually logged all my food today like a nice girl. Yay!

And, I got all my party shopping done. We aren’t allowed to make snacks for the boys school, so I bought cookies and juice tonight. I heart St. Patty’s Day! I can’t wait for the party tomorrow, but I hope it isn’t ruined by the lil one being sick. Maybe the hubbs can come home for a bit…

Have a great night, chickies!
