Week 7, day 1 - Another week, another pound

Good news this morning on the scale: I lost another pound and now weigh 88.1 kg - 194 pounds. Not that I could tap on my shoulder hard - I managed one gym session only, but thanks to this silly weather, I did two home sessions! I am now using the kids' nap time to do my little workout. I normally feel quite sleepy myself at this time of the day, but rather than facebooking and sipping coffee (why don't I just have a nap myself???), I can do my exercises. The fact that I'm progressing is giving me the kick in the backside to do more. I'm the type of person that if I don't succeed, I get so disappointed, rather than get up and try even harder. I do work so much harder if I get cheered. I'm kind of the same with my plants too, that's why I don't have so many in the house: I water them when I remember, but expect them to be in perfect shape and look after themselves. If they don't look very nice (have dried leaves, or even get a disease) I get angry of them and just ignore them even more until they almost die, then I feel sorry for them and try to save the poor ones. Or my mum comes over and tries to do a miracle and would let me know what I can do to get them in better shape.
I was really hoping that I will not be like this with my kids, but I can say that I'm very much grown up when it comes to look after them. I do give in every now and then, but who doesn't? A friend of mine is always, always so disciplined, never does anything that is not supposed to be done, but I think she's not living her life. It's just so good to throw my clothes all over the floor in the evening rather than collecting them in a neat pile to place them in the laundry the next morning. I do hate to pick them up the next day, but it's worth it, definitely. And mostly I load the dishwasher in the evening to wake up for a nice clean kitchen, but again, it's so good to leave the dishes there if I had a tough day. I guess I'm a human.
