Did you know?

I was almost down 50 pounds, and now I am down an even 40? :( Whaaaaaaa!! Yea, I wanna cry about it- but I am not going to. I have noone to blame but me. And while it was stupid decisions, and I have proabably have many more to make- at least I went back to the meeting tonight. Its a start.

I really do like the new meeting room. It is very nice. Nolan liked walking the mall and looking at the books at Waldens while I was in the meeting. I like that this winter, after or before the meeting, I can get some walking in indoors. :)'

So today I ate out all day...... On the way to school I grabbed a coffee at HyVee gas station, and since they had fresh fruit on the counter, I grabbed a banana and an apple. Off to school I went---- Got another A on my 3rd psych exam..... Thats 3 in a row now- YAY me... LOL

For lunch I ran to McDonalds and had the southwest grilled chicken salad, 6 pts, and the southwest dressing, 3 pts. Yummy. I love it.

After the WW meeting I got Roly Poly for supper- MY FAVORITE THING OF ALL--- the basil cashew chicken on wheat, half please- with a bag of baked lays. 6 pts, 3 pts.

It was a good day, I suppose. I got a lot of studying in- and still ate well-

I am finding it difficult to make homemade dinners- keep the house clean- and take care of everything else at home- I have asked for Erics help a number of times, and usually I only get it after I stop asking nicely....... That is just adding to my stress..... But he still loves me anyways. :)

I do wish that he would not recommend eating out so often, especially the places that arent such great choices for me. The boys need help as well with their diet. Eric did take the boys out jogging the other day and some jumping jacks and such in the house- I was excited about that- but the intentions of doing this daily faded quickly.

While I could probably go on about the things that arent so great or what we could do better- I wont.............. Because tonights meeting was focusing on what we have been successful at...........

And guess what?

I HAVE lost 40 lbs.... I am still attending meetings- even tho scarcely lately- The boys are more aware of activity: Nolan goes with me often to the park to walk and jog, or he will ride his bike or scooter. The boys and I are making good grades. Eric got a raise. Things are looking up.

Suggestions are always welcome- I got some good advice at church Sunday..... Leave your worries with God. Pray in the morning, at noon, and at night. Loved that. So when I feel that knot in the back of my neck start forming, I take a deep breath and tell God that I need him and I am giving my worries to him--- It does help! :)

ANyways.............. If you are on my email list, if you are reading this- you are very important to me- and I want you to live the best life you can---- so please take a moment and remind yourself how being healthy can make you a better person..... I want this for you, and I know you can do this!

We all can do this!!!!!

STAY STRONG!
