Well this was the third time in 4 days. He didn't take to sleeping through for a long time and I'm not having him start that up again. He is just about to have a nap, and because mum won't let me cook stew (tonight's tea) and lunch is left over soup or left over diet coke chicken they can just heat up whatever they want and I can get some sleep. Lunch takes as much prep and cooking as tea, and I did a full English for mum and I so I can do with some non cooking and washing up time. My right arm is really hurting if I lift anything or clench it, or just move it, so I'm really glad of less cooking today.
My group is pretty great with gains, whatever week it is you know you won't be the only one. Expecting to lose a lot of weight without a gain is pretty unrealistic, unless you lock yourself in a cupboard until it is all gone, in which case you won't have learned how to manage the weight in the real world and will put it back on. The times of pizza etc are pretty far between so it is a treat, not an everyday thing, which probably helps with losing weight. The 4lbs from the other week came off easy because of the Xmas gain. Now I'm back making a dent into fat that's more than a decade old. It sounds so gross when I think of it like that. I just need some sleep to give me back my energy.
The snow was a big fat bust. We got some, and it was so pretty when falling little nate's eyes lit up. But it didn't really stick and just looked a bit sorry for itself, not enough for snow angels. Thankfully the quails aren't bothered by it.
Right, nap time!
