Day 6- Scale in Motion

Oct 02 2007

Posted by: Natasha in Weight loss challenges, What's Up With Natasha Today?

Well, I hope that you all had a fun and relaxing weekend. I pretty much worked the entire weekend at sephora. It was fun and exhausting at the same time, but oh well.

Day 4
I did not get my exercise in but I drank my water, all 64 ounces and ate accordingly. I should not make excuses about not exercising, but I was so darn tired from work. I forgot how much the retail business can exhaust you out!! I got home from working 9-7pm Dh was on the computer and Arman was out cold sleep for the evening. So I decided to following my little one’s sleeping example and I literally passed out on the couch. Dh woke me up and told me to go to bed and at that time it was 10:30pm!! I could not believe it! I was just going to sleep for 1 hour and then exercise. I guess that was a bad idea, huh? So, needless to say I went to bed for the evening and woke up on Monday morning to hang out with my little one before I dropped him off to school for the afternoon.

Day 5

Still no exercise!! What is wrong with me?? I also was not eating much because I was not feeling well too. I think I ate about 1200 calories for the day in addition to my water. When I got to work I felt like I was walking so much that I burned enough calories for the day. I got off of work at 10:25pm. Got home and kissed DH and Arman was sleep, so I crept into him room and gave him a kiss. He said night night mommy in his sleep. Then he mumbled I love you. I was so happy. After that I was ready for bed.

Day 6

Today started off with good news from my scale. I know I should not weight this often, but I can’t help it. The scale showed 162!!! I am excited, but that could also mean that I am losing muscle too, so tonight I will be making a date with the bowflex and step aerobics. This morning my little guy and I went to the doctor to check is ears for fluid and a hearing screen. He did end up with a little fluid, but no infection, yey!! He also passed his hearing screen too, so I am happy about that. His pre-school suggested he have one because somethings they are not too sure if was not paying attention during certain activities because he could not hear or if he just wasn’t interested. At first I was kind of disappointed at his school because my child hears fine! Secondly, he is just 3 almost 4 this November and how many kids you know have a long tension span? Go figure. His doctor says he is fine and don’t worry. The other thing, I am venting now, is that his teacher is complaining that we will not nap during naptime. I told her he may not be tired and on top of that he has stopped taking naps since he was 3 1/2 years old. Then I ask are there any activities he can do if he is not tired? The teacher had no response, or no ideas. I was like OkAY! I swear, they are going to have to figure out something to do. I am not paying them for nothing. Can any of you moms out there relate? This is making me not like his preschool much and I may start looking at others if we can’t come to some balance here.

Anyway, tonight is the biggest loser on the T.V. I can’t wait to see what happened. Did anyone get any previews? If so let me know. Otherwise I will just be patient and watch tonight. Well, I am off to clean around the home and then play with my little. He has to go back to school tomorrow and I am dreading it because he cries every time I drop him off. How long will this last? Tomorrow will be day 9 for him at school. Prayers please.

Chat later!!
