Got about 4 1/2 hours of sleep last night, since 4month old seems to be going through something and woke up 3 times. I had to wake up at 6a.m. to bring kindergartener to school and then head straight to mine and my 4-month old's doc appointments. It was a very long day. It didn't help that I ended up eating more than I planned to. At the restaurant we went to for a late breakfast, I tried to order semi-healthy (Ham & green chili omelet). I really wanted the big plate of biscuits & sausage gravy + hash browns + eggs....but opted for the omelet since I figured it wasn't as fattening as the biscuits and sausage gravy alone. BUT....what I didn't realize is that it came with a large thing of hash browns AND two fluffy buttermilk pancakes. (No, it wasn't IHOP. It's a local town breakfast and grill; that apparently serves HUGE plates of food for much cheaper than most places.) I'm sure you're thinking: "Well, you could choose not to eat everything"....and you'd be right. But....I ate everything. I hate wasting money and I hate wasting food. (I was born in a 3rd world country, so I grew up being taught not to waste anything. Not that it's my mother's fault that I ate all of my food. It's just my mind that has stuck with that thought.) So I ate the whole damn thing. :( Go ahead and scold me. It might make me try harder. Also, I had a headache the whole day; which I was afraid would turn into a migraine and it did. :( To make matters worse, I had forgotten to replenish my travel migraine medicine, so I had to wait until I got home---which was around 6:30p.m. I get migraines, usually, for one of two reasons. 1)I skip a meal or don't eat enough....(which is yet another reason why I scarfed down my food. I didn't just eat all of it. I ate it FAST. I thought maybe I had been hungry. Which I was. and 2)Lack of sleep. If I don't sleep well for 2-3 days, it catches up to me in the form of a terrible migraine. Well, I couldn't figure out which reason it was. Maybe it was actually both this time since my baby hasn't been sleeping well for the past few nights. Either way, that headache-turned-to-migraine DID.NOT.HELP. :( HOWEVER.....I managed to force myself to workout this evening!!! :D The meds lessened my migraine just "enough" to make it manageable; and wutta ya know....I can barely feel it now! :) Thank goodness! (My migraines have been known to last 3-4 days....BEFORE I finally got prescription meds for them.) Anyway, I'm sure this workout won't make me lose all the weight I'm trying to lose, but I'm glad I got it in. I'm just hoping I won't be too disappointed when I weight myself tomorrow.... :(
