My kids have been sick with a stomach bug and I've been in the house for two days. I'm doing good on my diet, but not great. It's tough when you're stuck inside with sick kids, and don't have much else to do but be bored and eat. I was also very blue yesterday and I just didn't have the motivation to do much of anything. The good news is that I haven't had any desserts, the bad thing is all my snacking and overeating in general. All in all I'm doing well given the circumstances (oh, and we're getting a huge snowstorm tonight and school has already been canceled for tomorrow...looks like one more day inside.....a person could really start losing it :-). In a "perfect" world I wouldn't have these life obstacles getting in the way of my "fighting fat". I would be able to get out of the house when I wanted, exercise when I wanted, eat the way I want because I wouldn't be confined to the house with both good and bad choice foods, I would be motivated to exercise because I wouldn't have both internal and external factors bringing me down, and I would be in a good routine. However, the world is FAR from perfect and I'm doing the best I can with the life I have. My own husband even said at dinner, "Doesn't winter just want to make you pig out?" Believe me, he's on my side and is VERY helpful to me (he basically shoved me out the door the other day and made me go to the gym), but something about this weather and being stuck inside really does just make you want to eat.
Anyway, I'm watching "The Biggest Loser" right now and getting my weekly dose of motivation. The good news is that I'm not sitting here eating while watching the show like I used to do. I'd sit down with a bowl of ice cream and watch these poor people pass out on their treadmills. At least I'm not being so rude anymore! Ha!
