Well that's one way to get over your plateau, get puking sick.  It has been a "fun" week so far.  My almost 4 yr old son was sick on Sunday.  My daughter started with it yesterday morning at 1am with my husband to follow.  As they were winding now from puking, it was me and my youngest's turn to have a go around.  So, now that my system is broken down, I feel better today.  It won't be too hard to stick with my shakes today because that is all I trust to eat at this moment for fear of a recurrence.  It was mostly a 24hr thing but my husband had it much worse than I so he is getting some extra rest today.  One thing I know for sure, there will definitely be nap time.  As far as a workout goes, I need to let my sore body recover from yesterday.  It is amazing how much that will just make your whole body ache.  Your workouts are only as effective as the rest you allow your body to get.  I am not staying down, I will get back up!

The season has started for birthdays which means the holidays are not far behind.  Needless to say, I have had quite a few challenging days and feel horrible stuck.  The kids are getting a little nutty and excited for school to start, which means less patient and kind with each other.  I have worked out 3 days this week already but this morning the kids started early and I was not about to try to workout and deal with ornery kids at the same time.  So, trying to stick to my diet today, my shakes, water, my apple and some dinner.  I have got to get back on track.  I haven't gained much back, in fact when I weighed myself Monday morning I was back at my 17pounds.  I really want to get over this hump.  Trying to be diligent because I want this so bad.
