Shelley: Day 21

Today was, eh. I got up early with the little guy because I thought it would be nice for Jason to sleep in. He's been working really hard and he needed the break.

By the time he woke up it was time to get moving and head to church. I made the mistake of not eating before church (which is 3 hours) and so by the second hour I was ready to eat the chair I was sitting on. However, as a mom of a nearly 1 year old I always have snacks so that wasn't necessary. I ate four or five goldfish crackers and that was enough to get me through until I got home and could have a proper meal.

Will was so tuckered out he passed out in my arms at 8:15pm tonight but is currently crying (I am going to make this quick so I can go take over if necessary, sometimes he really just wants Mom).

I can't tell you how grateful I am we are doing this blog. I wanted to be lazy tonight and not do the math on my calorie intake for today but because I know others are watching, I am here, and doing what needs to be done. If I don't write this down I can lie to myself and pretend I don't eat as much as I do which is how I got this way in the first place. So, THANK YOU Katie and Kaisi for keeping me honest!
