Day 9: Upper Fix--Round 2

Hola Friendlies!  Today was a fun day :-)  It was my day off, so I decided to bite the bullet and start potty training Miss {C}.  Cuz, ya know, that's something you do on a day off.  It started off pretty great, the first time she sat on her "portable" potty, she peed.  Which was great, except she peed through her big girl panties and her pants that she hadn't pulled down.  Oh well, we counted that as a win and started her off on her sticker chart (seen here).  And that's how many times she sat on the potty, not how many attempts were successful.  We reward attempts here, too :-)

Yes, this was a spontaneous decision to potty train today.  Can ya tell?

The rest of the day went about as expected.  After potty training {E}, I had a good idea of what was in store; we had a few accidents, she screamed bloody murder went I rinsed her off in the shower, we went through ~5 pairs of panties, blah blah blah. After the 5th pair of underwear, she was tired of the idea, and asked to go back into a diaper.  I said ok, b/c she had alluded to a "stinky" all day, but it never showed up.  I didn't want to clean that out of her underwear, and I think the shower may have traumatized her.  So we called it a day.  It was our first attempt, anyway.  If she keeps showing interest, we'll pick it up again soon.

Now, I know that THAT was what you came here to read about, so I hope I didn't disappoint ;-)  But, today's workout was Upper Fix again.  I really like this workout, b/c I'm starting to get proud of the little grooves and definition that I actually have in my arms now (yay!)  But I'll tell you what, the worst exercise today was the low-plank hold.  I don't know if it's just because I'm over holding plank, after substituting push-ups for that for the last 6+ weeks, or that it's just boring that I'm not moving for a whole minute.  I wasn't able to distract myself thinking about how I was supposed to be doing the exercise.  I just held the plank. *crickets*

BUT, in the way of VERY GOOD NEWS!  I did the push-ups this time around!  Granted, I had to bring over Brandon's weights so that I wouldn't have to bend my wrist hardly at all, and I had to modify on my knees as well, but seriously, I haven't attempted push-ups since August 8th. (I know that because my accident was the next day, and August 8th was the day my brother-in-law got married.  Fun fact.)  Here's photographic evidence.  I look pretty weak, huh?

My meals were, once again, pretty much the same.  But since I had the day off, I actually made dinner: Chicken Enchilada Soup.  It's Fall now, I can make hearty food; it's allowed.  And you can't have chicken enchilada soup without cheese, sour cream, and chips.  That would be sacrilege.  So I was good, and pre-measured my "allowed" portions of those ingredients, and mixed it all together (not the cucumbers) and it was DELICIOUS!  

Now tell me, who doesn't want summa that? 

Oh!  Oh!  Other good news: I hit my lowest weight this morning!  Remember how I was eating terribly last weekend?  Well, I put on a little that weighed me in at more than I started at, but now I have officially lost 2.4 lbs from my starting weight!  *Autumn is not joking around with that meal plan, you WILL SHED those pounds.*  So, it was a good day.  Tomorrow is Lower Fix again.  See ya then!
