Things don't always go according to plan on Day 4

Well here I am completely exhausted and spent after a really rough day with the kids.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, us Moms do not have sick days and boy could I use one today.  A was up most of the night with a stomach bug vomiting every 20-30 minutes.  And in the midst of that I found a deer tick on her eyebrow.  That sucker was small.  I removed it quickly and put it in a baggie and quickly texted a friend who works with Lymes disease to ask her advice.  I was able to get the tick to her with some help from my wonderful mother in law as Abby had passed out on the couch virtually minutes after getting out of bed from sheer exhaustion.  I wish I had the same luxury.  I had to wait till CM's nap time to close my eyes for a bit.  But 2 hours felt like 10 minutes and I am just as tired now, as I was before I went to bed. That being said, somehow through the grace of god I stayed on plan.  I had a kefir shake this am and some berries and a hard boiled egg plus my green tea.  My phone rang at 11:30 as I was scouring the fridge for something I could make quickly for myself that would fill me up and not push me off plan.  My dear friend M asked me what I had in the fridge and walked me through a quick and easy lunch that was delicious.  I took a frozen piece of tilapia (bought frozen in S&S) and seasoned with salt and pepper and sauteed that in a pan with EVOO.  In a separate pan I sauteed garlic, onions, let it sweat up a bit and threw in all of my leftover veggies in the fridge. I had cherry tomatoes, green pepper & mushrooms but M's philosophy is anything really would work that you enjoy.  So I cooked it up till soft and by that time the tilapia was nicely browned at the tail end I threw in some soy sauce for extra flavor & sesame seeds (which I happen to LOVE!).  I threw the veggies in a bowl and the tilapia on top and ta-da a healthy and delicious lunch in less than 15 minutes.  Anyway, the saltines that I had in the house for A were calling my name.  It would have been so much easier to grab the sleeve and curl up on the couch eating 1 by 1 till whatda you know, they're gone.  But I didn't cave.  Today lunch was my toughest meal because of the exhaustion and stress I was under but I somehow made it through.  Looks like weight watchers isn't going to happen today which I am incredibly disappointed about because I had to cancel babysitting since A is sick.  I really wanted to go and feel good about my week and have that reflected on their scale, but you know what?  I know this week has already been a big success in more ways than one.  I am learning to internalize new habits that I can carry through with me for the long term.  If I could say no to the sleeve of saltines today, the bread basket last night and more carbs than I can count, I feel like I can say no to anything.  One day I will maybe be strong enough to have just a few saltines...today is not that day.  It's sort of all or none for me.  And despite feeling like a 18 wheeler truck hit me physically I am happy with the choices I am continuing to make one meal and one day at a time.
