Good morning, buddies!
Yesterday was a disaster as far as exercise. I did nothing, absolutely nothing. The doctor added another antibiotic, a steroid, and an antihistamine to my son's meds for the cellulitis. She said she didn't want to treat him as an inpatient until she was absolutely certain we couldn't treat it as an outpatient. This elicits a panicky response in a mother. The absolute last thing I want is to be in the hospital with my poor baby... over a damn bee sting to which he isn't even allergic!! So I spent the entire day hovering over him like some kind of maniac.
The good news... to my very minimally experienced eye it looks better today. The swelling has gone down significantly, and the area is no longer hot to the touch. No fevers either, and his appetite is back with a vengeance. We see the doctor again at 1:30, but I think this appointment will go better than yesterday. Still holding out that maybe, just maybe we can go to the zoo tomorrow. I've got a weekend warrior challenge on fit bit to participate in, those zoo steps sure would come in handy.
I managed to bump my calories up yesterday and ended the day with a four hundred calorie deficit... and felt like a blimp at the end of the day for it. What is wrong with me?? Four hundred extra calories, not enough to hamper any progress, and mentally I feel like crap for it. I used to eat that for a snack! lol I don't know, and it's funny how on days when I eat more I'm actually more hungry. Maybe I'll shoot for sixteen today. We will see how it goes.
I did have a NSV yesterday though, and I found my 'trigger'. When I was feeling stressed and anxious over my son all I wanted to do was eat. I haven't felt that way in weeks and it snapped back just like it had never left. I wanted to eat anything and everything, but I didn't. I had zero energy or ambition to make dinner and my husband asked if I wanted to go out. I declined, and I made dinner here at home. That was huge for me. So my calories were high, but they could have been so much higher.
My husband took the day off today and I'm just looking forward to spending some time with my family. The last weekend I had off I spent it running around doing what everyone else wanted to do, this weekend belongs to me and me alone. No guilt. (at least that's the goal)
Have a great weekend everyone!!
