Wt loss is good!
I'm down 9 lbs in 5 weeks. Not too bad! I've lost about 2% of body and gained about the same in muscle. I've been working out 5 days a week. Tonight I'm taking a break from working out to let me muscles rest (yes that's the reason, not just that I'm being lazy....although one could sufficiently argue that's part of it!). The last two nights I increased some of my weights to 7 lbs instead of 5. So that's got my arms a bit sore and is why I'm resting them tonight.
This is recital week and part of me can't wait until its over the other part will be sad when it is. We've had a ton of extra dance practices. Unfortunately someone has refused to dance. Ugh! Before she got sick she was doing everything she was suppose to do. Now, she just stands there. We've been talking a lot of about the upcoming recital and how people will want her to dance. She'll have a little bird costume on. They're dancing to Rio. It'll be cute....even if she doesn't dance. But way cuter if she does!
The one thing I hate about dance is that I have to put makeup on her. I just think she's too young! I'm not putting it on very thick at all. I'm doing the bare minimum. She'll have a little lipstick and some blush. That's it. She's pretty excited about wearing make-up. I'm also hoping that will coax her on the stage.
I become an aunt again on Sunday! Yaay! Hubby's youngest sister had her second. Next weekend I and Tempie are going to road trip down to see them. We're staying 4 days to help out with some cooking and cleaning and such. I'm pretty excited to go. It'll be nice to have a vacation. Crazy worried about leaving the little guy though. Ugh! I know he'll be fine but, you know, he's so complicated w/the food allergies and asthma. He'll be with my husband so I'm sure he'll be fine. Its just the lack of control thing. I hate not having the perception of control. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. I've gotta keep repeating that so I'll start believing it and so this anxiety will go away.
Next Thursday is Max's follow-up allergy appointment. He'll get tested again and see where his levels are. I'm pretty excited and nervous. If nothing's improved I'm going to be so bummed! the biggest test I'm looking forward to is the environmental ones. I want to know if he's allergic to grass like I suspect. The challenging part of this week will be no antihistimines. Yeah. Daily he takes Zyrtec and every night he takes Atarax. I guess if we can make it through this week, maybe we can just not give it to him anymore unless he needs it. I'm hoping we make it through the week. I'm hoping we get some sleep.
