#Fit4Autism: Weigh-in Wednesday (wk 1)
I want to share how my very first Weigh-in since I started my weight loss journey last week has gone for me.

Nothing has gone as planned today and this post is the result
I mentioned earlier that I've been struggling with Gavin today. Just so we're perfectly clear, he's not being a problem like he used to. He's simply being Gavin and that's exhausting for those around him, including myself. Gavin is absolutely struggling in his daily life. He doesn't necessarily see it as struggling because he doesn't really possess that higher level of self awareness anymore. Here's what kind of things are frustrating me now. Last night, Gavin finished up his infusion and removed the needles from his stomach. He always has some tissue on hand in case there's any leakage or bleeding. He removes the needles and I hear him freaking out about how badly the one infusion site was bleeding but he seemed to have addressed it himself…
I'm feeling pretty frazzled today. It's been nonstop this morning and I'm was up with Emmett last night again. Unfortunately, I'm allowing this enormous amount of stress to throw off my getting healthier plans so far. I totally own that and I'm really trying to stay motivated but it's a struggle. On the positive side, I'm still tracking what I eat and making better choices in that regard but the workout part is not going so well. With school starting tomorrow, my hope is that I can find the strength to give myself the needed push when I'm not neck deep in everything surrounding the kids. It's so exhausting and it's been a long break. I've had several things come up that have me preoccupied and stressed out as well.…
Take a few minutes and learn why my son with Autism is driving me crazy and why it's okay that I admit that.
I've spent the last couple hours trying to help Elliott feel better. I'm hoping he feels better a bit later and can enjoy the rest of his day.. ☺
For starters, I slept terribly last night but felt better this morning anyway. I was able to get a two hour nap this morning and feel even better after that. The bulk of my day has been spent running errands. I had to run to the bank, take Elliott to the store to exchange a broken Christmas present, hit Rite-Aid to deposit money into PayPal and also get my flu shot. On the way home, I finally found a place with a used tire that we desperately needed and was able to get that done while we were out. Elliott did really well but began not feeling good while the tire was getting replaced. He's still not feeling well and is also nauseated now. I've got him resting…
This is gonna be super short because I feel like shit. Overall, today was a really pleasant day and a great way to ring in the new year. Everyone went to bed without any problems and that was very helpful tonight because I don't feel well at all. I was fine until we got in the car and headed home tonight. My head is pounding and I just want to go to sleep. Generally speaking, I'm not doing so well tonight. I hope everyone had a great day and I'll hopefully be back up and moving in the morning.
