Yesterday I did surprisingly well in my quest to give up the sauce (which for me is Mountain Dew). I got my hair cut, my brows waxed (again, I am now an eyebrow whore), had coffee and water, and was generally ok.
Today, however has been a different story. I started off my day by weighing myself for motivation. I haven’t weighed myself in like, well, forever. It’s been a long time. At least six months, I’d say, but probably more than that. I was not surprised, but I was disappointed to see that I’ve gained six pounds since the last time I weighed in. So…that was good motivation for me to keep going. I did Pilates this morning for the first time in over a year (I know, I am TERRIBLE!) and I was humbled by not being able to properly do exercises that used to be quite simple for me. Let’s just say I am feeling my core! I was reminded that I really actually like Pilates (as much as it is possible for me to like exercise) so that was good.
So, anyhoo, I was doing fine, until after lunch when Joshua announced, “MOM! Sophie smells like POOP!” I chased her down and laid her on the floor to change her…and when I pulled off her pants, somehow my right leg became COVERED in poop from knee to ankle. It. was. SO. GROSS. Needless to say, Soph was also a huge mess. It took me like 27 wipes to clean her up. And Joshua kept asking me questions about his train track the entire time until I had to SCREAM at him, which I love doing, to get him to stop. I promise you I asked him nicely at least twice to shut it until I was done de-turding his sister. You’ll just have to believe me.
Anyways, after disposing of the mound of diaper/wipes/poop, putting my clothes and Soph’s in the washer, running around my house pantsless, and getting new clothes for both of us, I REALLY wanted a Mountain Dew.
I had to settle for a Diet Sunkist. Didn’t *quite* do the trick. So I’m jonesing…but I wasn’t about to put the kids in the car to go get a Dew, so I guess I am not too desperate…yet.
(Oh! PS! I posted a new giveaway on Reviewin’ It Up! today. It’s a small one but very fun! Go check it out! And keep checking back because we will have giveaways there almost every week!)
