How old is your daughter? I hate discussing weight with my kids, but I want them to understand that we all have a healthy weight. It is a touchy subject.
So where is everyone today?
She is 5. I know what you mean - I don't want to focus too much on weigh but more on being healthy.0 -
morning everyone.
another beautiful day here...going to be taking the dogs for a walk in a bit...just giving the bears time to get back into the woods so i can safely walk on the street,lol. have a ton of cleaning to do today too. just having trouble getting started..hubby is not sleeping well at night so it is keeping me awake too
ok well here is my quote for today it is not really inspirational but actually funny
Ellen Degeneres
You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know where the hell she is.
hope everyone has a great day!0 -
Ok, super stressful day in so many ways I can't even talk about it without tearing up. Once I get some sleep I'll be ok, but I am officially jumping on board with Michelle and Corrie...NO MORE SUGAR!! I use it to relieve stress and calm my nerves...it's like a drug. The thing is, it works. So I need something to replace it with. Any ideas on how else to get through stress? I really need help on this.
Inspiration for today:
Those who believe they can do something and those who believe they can’t are both right.
– Henry Ford
It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Wow! Lots of birthdays happening right now:) That makes us mom's very busy...and a little stressed. Happy birthday to all the little ones:)
LimeyTart- enjoy your daughter's birthday today:) I hope you got everything done that you needed to do!
LynnMPip- How is the day going? How about your meal planning?
Michelle- Love the quote! Were you really serious about the bears?!?!?
ljedmom- I am so sorry that this has been a rotten day! I can feel your sadness and I am so sorry. As far as the stress goes, do you blog? You could focus on taking pictures of your cute little kids and recording the awesome things they do. It always makes me feel so blessed when I stop to realize how lucky I am. I don't know what your stressors are, but I wish I could help.
As far as me, the day has been fun. I have one daughter out for fall break and I took her and three friends to an indoor trampoline place. It was great! I also have stayed away from sugary junk food:) I didn't realize when I said I was cutting out sugar how literally people take that! Lol! Honestly, I could never completely cut it out. I just need to cut WAY back. There are days when 50% of my calories are from pure junk. Brownies, cookies, candy, granola bars, etc. I am so weak around those type of things that it is pathetic!!!! I have a hard time with knowing what needs to be done, and then actually doing it! I have to change something though!

Kelly - hope you were able to get some sleep and are feeling better. Have you ever tried yoga or meditation?
Ruth - Hope your daughter had a great birthday!!
Michelle - How was your walk?
Corrie - Congrats on staying away from the junk food.
I am almost planned out until Saturday. Most of my main meals are done, now just filling in snacks. I eat at my parent's tomorrow night so I left it open with about 1,000 calories. We are going out on Friday night and will be out almost all day Saturday.
Edit - I am all planned out!!

So cranky today, need to snap out of it soon. Hoping to get a nice walk in while my daughter is in dancing school today.0 -
Today is fantastic, I have the sweetest husband in the world and the best best-friend ever! Yesterday's fiasco included 2 hours of scrubbing crayon off of the church's chairs and 4 hours of sleep My problem is that I am a neat freak with 4 kids. The end. But today is wonderful and it is getting cool! Which here in Louisiana means it still gets to the low 80s by the end of the day, but it starts off nice and chilly! That sparked today's inspiration, which is a link to my favorite recipe site's soup collection! I love soup. I would have it every day, but my family might object

Hard to make bad food choices when it's so delicious to make good ones!
Sorry to be so grouchy yesterday! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! You are all doing great working hard on your goals!0 -
