I've been exercising and eating a certain amount of calories for 3 months now and last week was my first bad week where I only exercised 3 days and ate more calories than I was supposed to 3 days. Part of it was the oh my god I just want to be able to eat whatever I want without thinking about calories mentality and part of it was me feeling stressed because I had the kids all to myself for 4 days. And the non exercising was pure laziness coupled with exhaustion when Miles wakes up a ton in the night. Somehow I still managed to lose 1.2 pounds this week which brings me to 174lbs right now.
I had a pretty shitty day yesterday all because I decided to stop and grab a coffee at Tim Hortons. The boys and I were on our way to a church which has an indoor playground near us when I stopped for a coffee and my window got stuck halfway down. It was -26 out too!! I tried to fix it for 15 minutes and then went in to the playground since it was only open for a short time and I was meeting someone there. Afterwards I went to the car dealership because I knew we had bought a warranty package when we got the van in May. I spent almost 2 hours there while they tried to figure out if the repair would be covered and then I had to drive to the dealership one town over where we actually bought the van to get it fixed. Spent an hour and a half there just to be told they got the window up but would need to order parts and have me come back another time. I was not impressed! I spent almost 4 hours in car dealerships with a mischievous toddler who gets into everything and a cranky baby who needed a nap and insisted on being held the whole time. Definitely not my idea of a fun day lol.
So, needless to say we are not going anywhere today lol. My poor baby needs regular naps in his crib and I need to relax as much as I can while watching kids. Oh and yesterday morning me and the boys woke up with runny noses so yay! Another winter cold. Merry Christmas to us lol.
On a positive note, I started Miles on baby purees a few days ago and so that's been fun. He didn't like the apple puree I made, made a hilarious disgusted face at the peaches I gave him and liked rice cereal so much this morning he was trying to grab the spoon with both hands lol. He's been so well behaved in my mom and baby class on Monday mornings. He just lays there, watches me and looks around while most of the other babies end up crying after a little while. Cody cried when I left him in the day care which I don't like but hopefully he will get used to it. My husband was home this past Monday so I got him to watch him during my class and he ended up driving all the way across town with Cody because he said he was crying when I left and he didn't want to listen to him cry for an hour. I was blown away! I would have just dealt with it if I were him or tried to distract him. You can definitely tell he doesn't watch him alone often lol.
I'm so glad January is almost over because that brings us one month closer to spring and plus the Olympics will be on soon :)
