TGIF!

I am so grateful it is FRIDAY! This week has been such a horrible week, which sucks since we just had such a wonderful 4 day weekend =)

 

So it all started with Chris waking up at oh 4am and throwing up. At first he thought he just ate something bad. He felt a little bit better after he threw up. So he went back to bed. Cue 430am Marcus screaming for Daddy (note that Marcus knows not to call for mommy when he throws up cause it makes mommy throw up). Marcus ends up in Bed with me and Chris heads off to work.

 

I get a phone call from Chris around 630 telling me he's on quarters and is coming home. So I take Ten and myself and leave the sickies in bed and take us as far away as possible. Which was the commissary and the doctors to get Chris drugs. We get home and they are still passed out so I wake them give them drugs and they go back to sleep and I put Ten to bed and I watch some TV.

 

2pm Marcus wakes up and he's acting like he was never sick. Is running around playing and acting normal

 

4pm. I start feeling super sick. (not good)

 

7pm We all go to bed

 

12am I start throwing up and that's how the rest of my night goes.

 

The whole next day was a blur because I felt like I had been run over by a dump truck.

 

Thursday I finally feel better. Chris, since he had it first, I think had the worst of it. I think that I got a smaller shorter version of what he had because he is finally better Thursday.

 

So far we kept saying Don't let Ten get sick, please don't let her catch this. Well I'm still not sure if she caught it or whatever but let me tell you that last night was newborn stage all over again. I'm talking we did everything in our power to get her to go to sleep and nothing happened! She literally cried from 10 to 2. Then again from 5-6. AWFUL! We held her, she cried, we gave her milk, she cried, we let her lay in bed, she cried, we brought her to bed with us, she cried. It seriously was horrible

 

Keep in mind that my kids SHARE a room and by some miracle Marcus slept through her crying. And it wasn't like it was a quiet cry she was screaming so loud that when Chris was rocking her one time I could hear her screaming all the way across the house in our bedroom. So um how Marcus slept through all of that is beyond me! But I wont complain.

 

So here we are 7am Friday morning. I am exhausted. Iam still getting over the cold and catching up on sleep and now I barley got any sleep last night. I am ready for this weekend and I am ready for some R&R.

 

The only good thing to come out of this week is the fact that I lost another 2.5lbs. So if you read my blog you would know that that makes a total weight loss so far of 15.5lbs!! I am proud to know that I'm doing it, I'm losing weight and (other then these last 2.5lbs) I have done it the hard way. Good diet and working out. It has been so hard and I haven't even done it for a whole month yet. But knowing that its my hard work that's paying off feels me with such a sense of pride. I can NOT wait for the next 2 weeks to pass by so I can be at 20lbs loss.

 

That is my new goal lose 4.5lbs in 2 weeks. Totally doable. I remember once back in 2007, Chris was deployed, and I had gained around 30lbs. When he came home for R&R I was 30lbs heavier then when he had left. He never said a thing and I thought I looked the same, until he left and I started looking at pictures of our 2 weeks together. I looked HORRIBLE. I couldn't believe how I had let myself go and how he never said anything. I told myself I would lose the weight over the next 8 months before he came home. But the only thing I did over those 8 months was go to the gym. I still ate whatever I wanted and I would go to the gym sit on a bike and read a book for an hour. That was my workout. RIDICULOUS!! I somehow lost the weight. I lost exactly 30lbs. It was so easy.

 

Now, maybe its my body changing from having kids, but it is so HARD. I have never had to work to lose weight. I would just decide and it would fall off. This time its taking everything I am to lose weight. But I'm appreciating it more. So maybe this time I wont gain it back. Because I know how hard it is to lose the weight.

 

So here's to a better week and weekend and here's to losing my first 20lbs in the next week or 2!
