Mom was busted out of the hospital late Wednesday afternoon. J and I went and sat with her that morning but around lunch time, her head started hurting really bad so we left to try to let her rest. I took J to his dad to spend the night and went home and tried to take a nap. I wasn't able to sleep, of course, haven't since Saturday. My mind will not stop racing! The thoughts of how I will possibly survive with Mom gone will not stop. So I got up and went for a jog/walk and did some pilates. It definitely made me feel better. Later that night, K and I met Sis and John at Skimo's for some beer and crawfish. We had a great time!
I came back to work yesterday and my desk was piled a mile high so I needed a little escape. I went out at lunch to grab a salad from Bogie's. The weather was awesome and it was nice to get some fresh air! I REALLY wanted to play in the fountains with the kids but I went back to work. I did leave early though, J and I had dentist appointments and then he had baseball pics and a game. They lost to the same team that handed them their first loss and it sucked. It may also have been J's last game. His coach said they may not be able to reschedule Tuesday's game and their jamboree is on the Saturday that we leave for Anna Maria Island....if Mom is in good enough condition that I feel safe to leave. I talked to her yesterday and she was horribly sick again. This cannot keep up, she has got to get some relief.
After J's game, we swung by Buffalo Wild Wings to grab some dinner. I tried a new kind of wing, the desert heat, and was very pleased. It was a spicy dry rub they put on the wings instead of coating them in a sauce. The rub was quite tasty and the wings were rather crispy so I was a happy camper. I tried one of J's sweet bbq wings and one of K's spicy garlic and they were both a let down compared to mine. We got home kinda late and I was exhausted. I just knew I was going to sleep like a baby but nooooooooooo, once again, mind wandering, tossing and turning. Ugh! I may have to resort to sleeping meds real soon. I tried to sleep in a little but that didn't work either.
Today marked the end of week #1 of the Flat Belly Cure. I got on the scale and have lost 1.6 pounds.....I was kind of disappointed with that number, was hoping for more, even though I know to lose the right way, it shouldn't be any more than 2 pounds/week BUT then I took my waist measurement and it was down 1 1/2"!!!!!!!!! So I am pumped about that. And I am also really happy with the way I have been feeling. No stomach problems, sugar cravings are down and I actually feel like I am getting close to a flat belly too. Got another week before the beach and am hoping to continue losing and feeling good. This week may be a little harder though. J is at his dad's all week so there is more opportunity to go out for happy hour or to eat. I just have to remember and keep in the front on my mind what is best for the long run!
I talked to Mom a little while ago and she ate this morning and kept it all down and said her head isn't throbbing so today is better than yesterday!
