6-21-10 Weight Loss Blues :(

Teagan has a fever today, and also a runny nose. Poor kid is miserable. He’s fussy enough when he’s not sick. So I need not say anymore about how he acted today. He may have gotten it from Easton or Sadie because they were both sick and feverish this past weekend. Who knows. Sickness travels from kid to kid like it’s nobody’s business.

Today we did absolutely nothing. I didn’t even do my makeup. That never happens. But after working out and cleaning, I was pretty much taking care of Teagan and working on some pictures.

I’m just pretty tired. My wellness challenge is going pretty well. Weight loss has been slow, if even at all. I’ve completely changed my diet, so I feel pretty discouraged about the fact that it’s not just falling off like it did when I went off my medication 2 years ago. 14 lbs in 2 weeks that time. I’m lucky if I’ve lost 2 lbs in 5 weeks this time around. I try to remind myself to not get down about it. Jacob and several other people say that I’m looking thinner. So I just keep plugging along, hoping that one day I’ll be in a smaller size and have a flatter tummy. At then end of the day the only thing that matters is our health, so as long as I remind myself that I’m making healthy choices I feel less discouraged.

Well we’re off to do our bedtime routine with Easton. Scripture movie, scripture story, brush teeth, pray, and then a song. He’s such a good boy about going to bed. He’s just a good boy in general, though. Such a joy to have in our home.

Don't get discouraged. You can't base everything on the scale number. You are turning fat into muscle...at least that is what I tell myself. I have been doing this wellness stuff now for 5 months or so...I have only lost a total of 3 lbs. It is very sad to me...I have changed the way I do EVERYTHING!!! But, I know I feel better, I feel stronger. I get more done. So don;t get down...you know you are doing all good stuff for yourself...it will happen for you. Just keep plugging along!
