Well, things have been going. I had a good week last week, but this week has been rather disastrous. Easter on the weekend, there has been a tonne of food and junk around and I have to say I have been indulging. Sunday we had ham and scalloped potatoes and Monday was the full-on turkey dinner... including stuffing, fattening mashed potatoes, gravy.. not to mention that I LOVE the dark meat, which I know is the fattier of the choices. And of course, the dreaded chocolate.
I have to say, the Easter Bunny has lightened up a LOT around here. He brought the kids the typical chocolate bunny and some small packaged treats, and a tonne off the mini foil eggs all over the place! He also brought them each a t-shirt, and an activity pad. Getting better, however, I found myself eating a lot of little chocolates here and there.. and finishing off a chocolate bunny. I did enjoy it, and I actually found if I was not LOVING it, I spit it out. I actually spit out a chocolate foil egg!! So I suppose, all things considered, that's a step in the right direction, no?
No more negativity. It's a new day. I have also been working out with a friend on the wii. Well, she works out on her's and I work out on mine (she's in another city). We're doing the wii fit for cardio and the biggest loser for strength training. I want to do the biggest loser in the day time (morning) and the wii fit in the evening. I did that one day this week, then happened to miss the next day all together. We had been doing it regularly every day. Hm.
I've also discovered that I need to get up earlier, as much as I hate to admit it. I will be trying to get up at 6 eventually. For now I think I'll just bump it up by a half hour at a time to get there. I also need to get to bed earlier. My kids are chronically late for school and it's just because we take so long to get moving in the morning. I know they LOVE it when I walk them to school and that would be a great way to work some extra cardio into my day, but it's just not feasable when it takes me so long to get everyone ready and out the door, myself and the babes included. Hence the new earlier wake up time. That's the goal anyway. I would like to just say ok yes i'm doing it tomorrow... but that doesn't work when I am up this late (it's 1145pm).
Speaking of, off to bed now and will aim to be in bed earlier tomorrow, but not guarantees, there is a sleepover her tomorrow night. Or rather, a stay awake over. All you parents know what I'm talking about. Ugh, birthday cake and hotdogs tomorrow too.... *sigh* Deep breaths Becca! You can do it!! Where is my tuna and can opener?
