Well, I made it through the first week of 2012....barely! I ended up having a fever everyday from Monday through Saturday, and was finally diagnosed with walking pneumonia yesterday. The good news is, I got on a new treatment plan, and the steroids and inhaler seem to really be helping, though I still feel pretty weak in general. So, HUGE thanks to my wonderful husband for taking care of Tommy and Ethan all week. It was bittersweet for me I must say. On the one hand, it was kind of sad to hear them right outside my bedroom door--their cute voices and sayings, and the pitter-patting of their little feet running around--and not be able to join in on the fun. On the other hand, I knew I was doing what was best for them, and it was so incredible to see and hear Davey playing with them and having some wonderful father/son bonding time. Again, I am so blessed to have such an amazing family!
As I wasn't around them very much at all, I asked Davey for a highlight story from the week, and as soon as he mentioned it, I started laughing. Tommy has a new found love of the lion's song from Wizard of Oz....I can't tell you how many times I heard Davey and Tommy singing/acting out this song back and forth, but don't take my word for it--check out this video!
The final update to conclude the first week of 2012, is that despite my sickness and not being able to workout, I remained committed to my weight loss efforts. I ate very well, and drank lots and lots of water. I am very proud to report that I am now 6.2 pounds lighter than I was one week ago!! Now, I obviously am not anticipating another huge week like that, and I won't be able to work out strenuously for 2 more weeks. That said, I am hoping for a loss of at least 1.4 pounds this coming week--stay tuned!
