This week could be called “The Good, The Bad and the ‘Oh Come On’” Week. So, what do you want to hear first? I’ll start with “Oh Come On” since we tend to remember the ending moreso than the beginning.
Oh Come On
I am living in a house of sick children. Four sick children to be exact. My step-daughter, Jasmin, came up last weekend to celebrate Alaya’s birthday and stayed the week. So, she’s sick, my three little ones are sick and of course my throat hurts too, but Mommy’s aren’t allowed to get sick so I guess it’s just a figment of my imagination.
The Bad
I gained 0.7 lbs. this past week, which is disappointing, but since this is a week before my normal cycle that’s pretty normal (I guess). I also went on a Doritos binge after I got the news, so I’ll have to add a few hundred more hours to work it all off, but such is life. With four sick children I think that I should be allowed to fall off the wagon, don’t you?
The Good
- I’ve exercised 6 days straight so far (tomorrow will be Big #7) for an average of one hour at a time.
- My saboteurs have been distracted this week due to illness and a new person in the house so I only had to step on one son’s feet (today) and one tail (can’t remember which animal-person) the whole week.
- And before the plague took over everyone in the house has been exercising including my husband who is interesting to watch workout. Why? Well his memory of his physical ability and the reality of his physical ability are vastly different so hearing him talk to himself as he’s working out is entertaining.
- This week I found out about Cooking Light Eat Smart Guide: 350-Calorie: Recipes – Hints – Tips: 90 Fresh, Quick & Easy Dishes, so I’m going to invest in that to help me with losing the 20 pounds I’d like to have off by mid-summer.
And on a totally unrelated fitness note my niece Lela Corrinne was born on March 31st out in Sacremento. She’s the subject of the picture gracing this post.
Have a good weekend everyone!

LOL about mommies not being allowed to get sick. Very right. You are just imagining things haha. But joking aside, I really hope you and your housemates get well soon. It’s gloomy to have sick housemates.

Thank you so much. And yes, sick housemates will make Mommy want to jump ship and swim – lol! They’re getting better so hopefully I can resume my previously scheduled life soon.

[...] finally had an opportunity to use my free credit for one card (the one pictured here) when my niece Lela was born. I went to their website (www.jackcards.com) and signed up for their free membership. [...]
