It’s barely 7 a.m. and I have done 30 minutes of cardio already.  Woke up at 5:45 and couldn’t go back to sleep so instead of continuting to try, I got up.  According to Wii Fit, I am down 4 pounds since Tuesday.  According to my bathroom scales, I am down 1.5 since last Saturday.  Either way, for the first time, they match with what the number is.  I love that Wii Fit allows me to put in how much my clothing weighs to get a more accurate number.

This past week wasn’t all that wonderful, but I did learn a couple of things.  First, take the kids to the doctor when they start getting sick!  My DD brough home kiddie crud from pre-school and was sick all week.  My DS and I got it on Wednesday.  On Friday, after a bout of croup for DS, we went to the doctor - each had an ear infection and I had two as well as being on the verge of bronchitis.  My husband had a business social after work that I had to go to with him.  How I managed to pull off being awake and still able to breathe freely is beyond me.  I was a walking drugstore. 

However, despite part of the week being terrible, I did remember that I don’t need a lot of food at one meal.  The social was a sit down dinner at a local micro brewery.  My DH was very sweet and made sure there were vegetarian options for me.  I had one slice of pizza and a quarter of the dessert he and I shared.  Yesterday I ate small portions of everything and was satisfied.

Among other accomplishments, my DS is now in a “big boy” bed.  We took the side of his crib, something he hadn’t wanted me to do until this week.  He’s only fallen out once.  I went in last night to make sure he was covered up, could hear him breathing, but couldn’t find him.  He was almost completely under the crib except for his head and that was in a shadow.  A little freaky, then a little funny.  He is also trying to use the potty a bit more.  I so want him out of diapers. 

Well, it sounds as thought the rest of the family is waking up.  I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
