I was watching a special about wind patterns on PBS the other day (yes, on purpose - just needed something not-too-involved to watch while folding laundry). They were talking about a place in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans referred to as the Doldrums...a place where, most of the time, the winds do not blow and boats with sails get stuck.
For seven days, through yesterday...that's where I felt I was. It was an ugly plateau...I was being meticulous about my food, drinking plenty of water, making sure to exercise or have more activity...and still, no progress as far as weight loss was concerned. I just hovered...for.a.week. I was not a happy camper.
To add insult to injury...my children were AWFUL yesterday. It was just one of those days that makes you wish you weren't a mom anymore. I spent the whole day trying to calm criers, breaking up fights, disciplining, and otherwise trying to tame wild children. My kids, who normally go to bed at 7:00...were still fighting sleep after 9:00. I was about to lose it when they finally stopped getting up.
Anyway...the good news is that I've started working out again and I'm back to losing weight. Here's to hoping that today is a MUCH better day! I wish you a great day as well!
