Man, 200.4, I am so close, I can taste the victory! I'm super-excited to see the scales in the morning! After I post this, I'm going downstairs to put a few more minutes in on my Gazelle. When I finally broke 204, I think it was because I did some exercise after dinner, telling my body to burn, baby burn. It might have been just a coincidence but I think not.
About my breakfast issues - I don't like eating right before I exercise, and I keep telling myself that I am going to get to my exercising any minute now. I get up around 5:30am with baby Sammy, then I sit at the computer messing around for a few hours, or I go back to bed, it just depends on how busy I am. Then, I get Connor up and ready for school, then it can be another hour or two before I get the exercising done, with having to take care of Emma and Sammy, so sometimes it's lunch before I eat breakfast. Today, I forbade myself from playing on the computer after I got Sammy back in bed at about 6am. I ran a few errands, then was home by 7am when the teenagers go to school. My three little ones were still asleep, and I made myself exercise instead of doing a bunch of computer stuff. So, I got to eat breakfast today. I need to do that from now on - no computer for me until I exercise. In fact, I since I did that today, that can be my "give up a favorite sin" challenge for the next week on Cat's Challenge.
P.S. I'm doing a little jig because I have the most points so far on Cat's Challenge. Not that it matters in the big picture, but I do like rewards, and it's fun to be out in the front sometimes.

Ok, I can see that your mornings are CRAZY but I have a recommendation. This is because I want to help but it's a take it or leave it idea.
ReplyDeleteEating breakfast is very important, it starts your metabolism for the day and also gives you the needed energy to make it through the day. So, I think in all the craziness that you need to sit down with one of your kids and eat breakfast with them, even if that means it's bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit but sitting to do it is important, and your kids will enjoy your company.
So what do you think? Let me know.
One more thing, here is the link to a post I wrote earlier this year that talks about my point of view.
