So today's a fast day... I had to take last fast day off (last Thursday) as I had a migraine and it just wasn't going to work. I'm doing 5:2 with DH and he wanted scales so he could track his progress, they arrived last night so of course I had to check my weight too and was horrified by the results (at least a stone heavier than I was expecting, and heavier than I was when ds2 was a baby (he's 2 now). So I'm more determined than ever to do this but at the same time utterly dispirited and demotivated and in the mood to self medicate with chocolate :-(
Both dc were up in the night as they've a grotty cold and ds2's been up since 5am. I've got myself a black coffee and will just have to stick it out today. But AARGH this is hard when you regularly don't get enough sleep. I also feel a bit demotivated by the idea that no amount of fasting and gym will shift my spare tyre if I'm constantly sleep deprived (not getting enough sleep seems to always make me put on weight).
It's not really a 'this too will pass scenario' with the sleep as ds1 is nearly 5 and regularly wakes 3,4,5 times a night.
Sorry for pathetic self pitying rant but any encouragement would be so nice!
