CORE Day 17: Daughter still sick

Posted by dnbarton on 13th February 2008

Well today was still all out of whack due to dd’s cold.  It’s so pathetically sad because her cough is all wet and in her chest and it just makes me wince when she coughs. And her cries are heartbreaking :-(

Needless to say, I did not go to the gym, YET.  Dh said that he would let me go when he gets home from church and he’ll watch baby.  I’m home w/ baby missing church, and sad.  I love our mid-week service because it keeps me going for the rest of the week… o well.  maybe this way I will have a baby on the mend and I won’t have to miss any more church!

So I spent the 1st part of the day at the in-laws, where I tend to go into sugar-mania mode and eat and eat.  I managed to stay, somewhat under control and I did make some good choices overall.  I spent my afternoon on the go… at a Physical Therapy appt for my knees and then back home.. (about an hour drive), picking up a heart shaped pizza for dh for dinner (super cute!) and finally back home.  I did well for eating on the go, and especially for eating from stuff I packed mostly from my MIL’s house.
