On Children

DD#2 has a cold and was up from about 01:00 on because she can not breath.
DD#1 has a black hole in her brain that seems to absorb all of the information about what homework she has until it is too late. Then she gets defensive (just like her father) when I call her on it and take away privileges until she can prove worthy of them again. It's a good thing it is going to be a long weekend before I have to go through the, what homework do you have tonight question. One Turkey into a princess story is enough.
I wore my pedometer today but since I spent most of the day with a small girl on my lap I didn't get my numbers up where they should be. I have decided that since my numbers were so low to begin with I should try for a more obtainable goal and so have set my goal at 5000 or more steps instead of the 10,000. I don't want to set myself up for failure so early in the program. Right now I am at 3619 steps, I am going to go jog on the mini tramp and try to get it at or about 5000 before bed time.
I did keep to my diet, which is amazing since I made pancakes from scratch tonight, one of my favorite meals. I didn't eat everything that was left, instead I only ate my two and wrapped the others up for DD#1s breakfast tomorrow.
