staying on track

Well last week wasn't the best week on the diet front but I feel like I am doing much better this week. Last week was my MILs birthday so we went over to their house for cake on Wednesday and to Red Lobster for supper on Saturday and all week we were busy getting the new vehicle BUT on Friday when things had settled down and we weren't so busy I got on the Wii and did a 30 minute work out and boy was I sweating ofter only 30min!! :( I'm so out of shape!! Then on Saturday I decided to take down all the Christmas stuff, which was more of a chore then I thought! Every time I would pack something in a box Jacob would want it out to play with so I had to work fast and hope that I could put more away when he was playing with the one thing he wanted out of the box. My girlfriend also gave me a call when I was about half done and told me she had recently gotten a gym membership and asked if I wanted to go with her as her guest, they have child care there as well so I went. I wanted to see how Jacob would be at the facility anyway cause I have been considering getting a membership at this same location. So, when we dropped the kids off they told me that they don't do diapers so if he needs to be changed they will page me, they also don't let any food or personal toys into the play area, which is understandable but I just knew I would be interrupted from my work out to go change a poopy diaper! And sure enough about 20 minutes into our workout I got paged, I think Jacob did well in the play area, he was wondering around with a hard plastic puppy when I walked in and looked so sad when he saw me but I think he will be OK there, my workouts are only about 45 minutes and the facility is very nice, I'll probably also end up getting a membership. I go back tonight for another free pass but I think this time they will try to get me to join, I am bringing Jacob again and hopefully he will be OK. I have also been on the Wii Sunday and last night, I have been mostly following my plan so I'm hoping that tomorrow when I weigh in I see a nice loss!! It is so much more encouraging when you see the numbers go down, makes you want to try harder next time to see if you can loose even more!?

So things seem pretty good so far for 2010, I absolutely LOVE my new Trailblazer, Jacob seems to be doing very well with the new day home, I am getting my workouts in, the weather is beautiful and I got a raise at work!! :D The only down side is that Dad isn't doing so well, he has lost another 5lbs (which he didn't really have to loose), his chemo isn't working and the tumor has grown. So they are changing his chemo to the injection type in hopes that this will work or at least stop the cancer from spreading. He is still at home for now but is not eating but how do you get a grown man to eat? All we can really do is make the best out of the time we have!
