I find this a lot as a mum, that the fantasies that keep me going throughout the day (and I'm not talking "50 Shades of Grey" fantasies here, guys!) are never really what they're cracked up to be! Days of quiet contemplation and sitting and admiring the ocean, have been replaced with the desire to talk and laugh and sing, really enjoy noise and my dreams of sitting on the beach admiring the colours and feeling "at one with nature" have been replace with the desire for adventure, wanting to grab one child under each arm and run into the waves, take them camping, running through forests, hiking up moutains! So as much as my fantasies have grown from wanting more than anything to just sit and take something in, to being fully involved and a part of a "Great Adventure"! (Captivating by Stasi Eldredge, a must read) All that aside, the article was a good read with a few more tips in it than just striving to achieve perfect "nirvana"!
Also I got back into training last night, it wasn't the hardest train I've ever done (I'm repeating last week's training sessions while husband has some time to wrap his head around the new stuff this week to be able to teach me next week) but I felt like I was going to vomit the whole way through, had to keep running outside to catch my breath and cool off in the night air! But I muscled through ..... yeah ... I'm tough ;) Diet has been a bit of a fail! But every day is a new day! The problem hasn't so much been sticking to the diet, cause I've been doing exactly what it says on my plan, the problem is all the stuff I ADD to my diet! Like the bowl of chilli, rice & sour cream I just couldn't resist on monday night or the fruit toast & butter (total of SIX pieces throughout the day yesterday) was just to much for my self control. I just didn't really think that much into it, it got to 11pm last night and I was still on the phone to my best friend (post workout, which normally happens around 8.30-9ish because husband works afternoon shift) and I thought, make some raisin toast, put some butter on it, put a little more butter on, eat it! It was as simple as that, no, should I shouldn't I, just ... eat it! But not stressing too much, okay I stressed a little bit when I stepped on the scales on Monday and it said I had put on 7kgs and then later that day it said I'd put on 5kg and then the next day only 2kg .... so obviously there's either something up with my scales (which there shouldn't be, they're only 6 months old) or weight really does fluctuate a lot (which I also didn't think was possible to fluctuate that much in a matter of days), so basically have decided to do monthly weigh ins instead of weekly, as to save myself from the ups and downs of weigh ins, but also probably go more on measurements than kgs.
Everything has gone awry with little man's routine progressions since the kids have been sick and at home so might concentrate on that next week once everyone is better again. Also my grumpiness early this week ..... PMS!! It has been so much more prominent since having child number 3, I never would have noticed before! :p x
