The Sweet Struggles of Motherhood

Being a mom is tough!  Being a mom of 2 is tougher!  I have been trying to juggle the life of a mother of two with that of a working mom, and lately sleep has beat out exercise for first place in my nightly routine.  I value my sleep and up until a few nights ago the baby has been getting up at 3 am every night to eat.  I am just hoping he stays on track with his new sleeping schedule, I need at least 6 hours of sleep to be a productive and pleasant member of society.  *Alan has been really good about staying on track with his diet and work outs, and been really understanding when I chose sleep over a work out.  

I am also having a hard time with craving sweets, I love them so much and they make me very happy.... but then the guilt sets in after eating them, which makes me feel crappy :(  I need to find my will power against these evil but tasty snacks.  I have never loved chocolate, I have always been an ice cream eater, but my new worst enemy and best friend is a mini Reese's ( or a handful of mini Reese's)  I am trying to find good alternatives to the sweets, 100 calorie packs are helpful but you can still only eat so many... 100 calories at a time adds up quickly.  I think this will always be my struggle as it is  for many of those who are dieting.  I think I will just allow my self a cheat day every so often to help satisfy these crazy cravings.
