Fat Butt Friday - I Have Had No Motivation This Week

"One of my New Year's wishes was to shed some of the weight I had gained during my pregnancy with Little Monster, and so in my attempt to do so, I felt it was harder to hide late night snacking and lack of motivation if I put myself on the line and in the spotlight. Every Friday, I will be sharing my weight loss journey (including my successes and failures), as well as delicious recipes, meal ideas, and exercise suggestions. Join me if you accept the challenge to lose weight and gain a healthier life! (Don't forget to grab my button in the sidebar)"

Last weekend, Elijah became ill and I had to carry him to the emergency room, where he received breathing treatments and steroids for a severe upper respiratory infection that was affecting his breathing. What a long night that was! He was not a happy boy, and he screamed all night long. They monitored him all night and sent us home early the next morning, where he proceeded to stay up most of the day as well. Jason encouraged me to rest, but how could I sleep while my baby boy was sick. He needed his mommy! So, of course I stayed up.

Well, that short stint of sleep deprivation has left my body screaming for sleep ever since, and I sadly admit...

I have not worked out at all this week!

Although...the day before yesterday, my well pump bit the dust, and I spent 30 minutes helping Jason pull the old pump from the depths of my well yesterday.

Now, if you know nothing about that kind of stuff then you won't feel my pain, but there is pipe attached to that pump...mine had over 200 feet. Pulling 200+ feet of pipe and a pump from the bottom of a well is not easy. It's like lifting weights. Jason did most of the work, a former marine, and it was one of his hardest workouts.

Oh, and did I mention...

It was pouring rain!

So, I guess you could say I got a work out, but definitely one that was unplanned.

I have a house that has been completely neglected for the last several weeks, and I plan to do a lot of cleaning this weekend. Sunday, I will rest my head and get back on track Monday morning.

How did you do this week? Post comments below!
