I didn’t mean to leave this neglected so long. I was home Thursday with both kids. I made it a day to just sit and relax as much as I could while still taking care of two small children. I worked on Friday while Robert stayed home with the kids (he took a furlough day). I made my lunch Laura’s ENT appointment. The doctor was running over an hour behind. We finally got in to see him. Things are responding well to the antibiotics. We are going to continue with them and things should be fine. I may make an appointment in a few weeks just to make sure things are looking good. Actually, we are in tomorrow afternoon for Warren’s 18 month appointment. I may have him take a look at Laura’s ears to make sure things are continuing to heal properly. So long story short at this point, both kids seem to be healthy or are on the way there. *fingers crossed it stays that way*
I haven’t posted lately about how I am doing on Atkins. I have modified it a bit. I am still eating low-carb. I feel better doing it. I skipped slowly adding in foods though. I am careful about how many grains I eat in a day (even if they are low-carb). I know I have slacked on the veggies. I am making it my goal this week to eat more. Weight wise, I have stalled out. I know that I need to start exercising regularly to make the numbers move again. I should also keep track of my carbs for a few days just to see where I am sitting again. If not the carbs, just what I eat in a day. I watch the Biggest Loser each week. It is motivating me to get this weight gone. I am smaller now than I have been in years. However, I am not where I need to be yet. I did my measurements again this weekend, and I have lost about 5 inches in each of the three places (waist, hip, thighs). I try to focus on the positive, but I just see how far I have to go yet.
This week may get interesting at work. They have selected the people for interviews for the manager position. I don’t know how many are interviewing. I know that Jacky did get one. She is in the morning on Wednesday. I am hoping that by Friday they will be done and have a decision. I hate the waiting game, but I imagine Jacky is hating it even more!
