Day 5, seaworld and sunday

Saturday: Today was brilliant at Seaworld. Bubby still slept poorly last night. That however didn't ruin the day. Except for the few times my tiredness came out of my mouth as snappy comments and maybe a mild tantrum. Oops. In my defense, it was hot and windy, and we were with 2 teens on top of me being the walking dead. Make that, the limping walking dead. Hubby must have seen through my cranky pants, as he purchased  a Sponge Bob stuffed toy for me when we were leaving. I think he feels bad for catching the monorail without me. I may have possibly let him know how displeased I was with his decision. In all fairness, it wasn't his fault. Having one teen each, we couldn't rush if we wanted too. Either way, I came out a winner: heaps of exercise and an eternally optimistic character to remind me not to get too flustered. Oh, and a super sweet hubby who loves me despite myself sometimes :)

Today was a lovely treat for my teen, the one on loan from Germany. She had a deep water dolphin experience. I took a zillion photo's for her- it looked amazing. She said it was just that-Amazing! I'm glad she is going home in a few weeks with that experience to hold onto. And bubby just loved everything! She is such a cruisy little girl when we go out- she loves exploring already:) Honestly, she never cried once from memory today- and it was long and hot.

I can't wait for bed. I hope bubby is suitably worn out enough to stay asleep til daylight tomorrow. Just in case, I'm going to bed ASAP! 2 hours, then a wake up, then repeat, kinda just bites, thank you very much. 

Before I go, here is a quick snapshot of today...

A healthy, high carb breaky to fuel a day at Seaworld: a small mashed banana topped with a tablespoon of raw oats, sunflower seeds and a teaspoon of rice malt syrup. 

A nutritious, high in healthy fat morning tea: tuna steak topped with half an avocado, dressed in lemon juice and seasoned, with a cup of miso soup. YUM!

Gorgeous dolphin at Seaworld, cruising close to sticky- beak at me :)

Another cheeky face, saying 'Hi!'

Food consumed today was...

Breaky: Large coffee, mashed banana with 1 tablespoon of oats and sunflower seeds 6:30am...
M'tea: tuna steak with half an avo & miso soup 10:30am
Lunch: cuppa and 25gm packet of moroccon flavoured fried broadbeans at 12:30
Snacks: nuts throughout the arvo.
Dinner: lots of bacon. Yep, just bacon, at 6pm. Followed by water. Lot's of water!

Sunday: A better nights sleep, just not a good one. This pre-dawn waking is losing its appeal, but at least I got to sleep longer than I have for the past few nights. I honestly don't get people who say 'my baby finally slept last night and I have so much energy!' That is just not me at present, though I really, really wish it was. Then I looked up at Sponge Bob, hanging from my dresser mirror. Darn optimistic little guy! and decided that dwelling on the negative just ain't working- dwelling on things that bring me down brings me down. Who'd have thought! It's hot and very humid, I'm constantly tired, I'm tied to making/cleaning bottles and doing the laundry and my body doesn't work the way I like anymore. So what am I going to do about it. This. Be honest, and choose to focus on what is good. I want Sponge Bob's attitude- overflowing with optimism and joy. I'm a 45 year old woman who got the chance to start again, have a beautiful, healthy baby after scoring a younger, devoted man. I am blessed just in that way beyond words, even though I have so much more to be grateful for. 

Now, onto today...

Breaky smoothy: Berry nice :)

Breaky: banana and blackberry smoothy with chia seeds at 7am. 
Morning tea: Wholemeal bread roll with bacon and egg at 9am. I was starving, and the kind of tired that makes me want to eat. 
Lunch: bacon an egg omelette followed by 2 pieces of buttered toast. It was either toast or mud cake! Coffee at 12:30pm.
Afternoon tea: Protein ball and milk. 
Then, I got heartburn from too much carbs and fat. May have to cut down the overeating when tired. Actually, cut down the overeating, period. I hate feeling bloated more than I dislike feeling this tired.

I'm too full to eat dinner, so I won't. Plenty of food in my belly already.
What this girl needs is sleep, so good night all. Hope you had a great weekend too :)
