5th Jan 2009 - day 5 - When life gets in the way

God where do I start!!!!!! My intention for 2009 was for everybody to be well and healthy after about 2 months of illness in Nov and Dec 2008 and to be tracking every day but everythiong has just gone out the window!!

Charlie became ill on Saturday with a terrible sore throat and huge tonsils and glands so I was really fed up and went straight out to tesco to buy chocolate and lemon meringue pie and cream and completely stuffed my face but justified it to myself by telling myself that it was saturday and I deserved a treat (WHAT!!!!!!). Then yesterday was even worse, Charlie woke up with a terrible viral rash all over his body and face and was really quite poorly and Dave woke up feeling just as bad so I began the day with a coffee and a twix and it just set the path for the day and I ended it with a big fat curry!

Now the question is why do I do it? When I overeat it is usually because I am either stressed, tired or bored and I eat because I always think it will make me feel better but it NEVER NEVER does! I HAVE to stop doing it, it is just madness I feel terrible this morning, really really tired and just totally fed up and I know its due to what I have eaten (as well as dealing with sick children). So I am going to try again today, I have had marmite on toast this morning, I intend to have a ham sandwich for lunch and fishfingers for dinner all of which will be within my allowance.

I think I will also go for a short walk this afternoon just to get some air cause god knows the boys and i need it! It doesn't look like I will be walking to school anytime soon this week with Charlie being poorly, even if he goes back tomorrow I don't think making him walk would be very fair but I intend to start next week I would like to do the school runs on foot at least 2 or 3 days per week.

I need to tackle my tiredness and lack of energy too, if Charlie goes back tomorrow I intend to get up at 6.30 and jump straight in the shower to wake me up and I would like to do that everyday and save any extra sleep for the weekends, I don't think I have got out of bed before 10 these whole holidays and I hate it, it just makes me more tired!

Anyway I am waffling now, I'll check in later and let you know how the day has gone!

Chow for now
