Terrific Tuesday...not quite

Today is the 2nd Terrific Tuesday weigh in I've missed.  Last week I had surgery and this week, well I'm still on the mend.  I have to admit, I've used surgery as an excuse to not care about what I'm eating and not count my points.  Which really wouldn't be so bad if I was still sticking to decent choices and not using it as a good excuse to raid my kids Halloween candy!  I came home from the hospital pounds heavier thanks to all the IV fluids pumped in. With all my not so great choices (which actually started a few days BEFORE surgery!) I know I'm not going to be so happy with myself when I do get back on that scale.  I've worked hard the past few months and I don't want this to completely undo all that hard work. 

I'm not feeling as good as I hoped I would a week later.  Yes, I know its only been a week but I'm a busy mom and don't have time to be layed up for weeks on end.  Yesterday I decided that if I just pushed myself a little bit I'd start feeling a little better and be closer to getting back into the swing of things.  Well, yesterday kicked my a$$.  And I feel really bad because I think as a result it kicked my husband's too.

I just wasn't feeling well yesterday and it led to frustration and tears and feeling sorry for myself.  Our busy life is hard for 2 parents to handle and with me on the mend it leaves it all to hubby.  So on top of our usual running he had to deal with a wife having a melt down and a nail in the tire that needed to be taken care of.  The poor guy never sat down until 9pm last night.  And when he did he looked at me and asked if there was anything else I needed.  I didn't have the heart to make any more requests.  I just started crying some more.

However, today is a new day.  I opened my eyes and treated it as such.  So far I'm having a much better day than yesterday and for that I'm thankful.
