Revelation

After a great weekend, I’ve vowed to make this week a huge success. The family and I took a little day trip and did some walking. I did have one slip up with food, however. I forgot to bring some snacks so I was super hungry by the time we got to Arby’s.

I’m starting to find out that my biggest issue is going to be with snacking at night. I think I’ve figured out some ways to control that. I bought string cheese and baby carrots to snack on. I figure you can’t go wrong with veggies and protein so those are going to be my snacks.

I’ve printed out some food diary pages from Microsoft Office so that I can keep track of what I eat during the day. It’s easier for me to write it all down during the day because I don’t have much time to add it all to SP.

My work schedule is crazy right now due to the launch of several marketing campaigns and a new service. As a result, I’m always in front of my computer, including for lunch. However, I’m going to work hard to change that. My 5 year old gets off the bus at noon so we’re going to start eating lunch together. We usually eat lunch together, in the same room, but not actually together.

During our ride on our day trip yesterday, I took my cooking light cookbook with me. While enjoying the ride and thumbing through the cookbook, I had a revelation. It’s something I’ve always known but never really put much stock into it. I realized that I have to take care of myself.

Our trip was very successful in more ways than one. My husband is so supportive. I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful family. So now it’s time for me to get myself in gear so I can make myself and my family proud.
