......... in my defense, it was a small piece.
It's not easy living in a high calorie house when you need to make a "life-style" change... (meaning, I have 2 underweight kids who need the calories, one is labeled "Failure to Thrive" because of his weight, he wants to eat or drink it, he gets it.)
I WILL DO IT ....... I WILL DO IT ....... I WILL DO IT......
Dennis (who also wants to lose some weight) said that if I'm willing to give up the soda, he will too. We'll just not buy anymore. Period. We'll buy some 2-liters of 7-up, 2-liters of Root Beer (helps when I get so very nauseated) ... and some treat soda for the kids (for pizza nights/movie nights - we don't allow them to have a lot, but Cal has been getting really bad about it.) More water, milk and juice, and less soda. We'll make the kids kool-aid too for treats, but I won't drink that.
So after the soda is gone from the house (in a couple days at the rate Dennis drinks it) ... we'll not buy anymore. Sure, we'll still have our "treats" once in awhile, but not as the main drink in the house. I've been doing good, and I've made the change before, going up to a month or so with the change before I fall back into "old ways" ... some days are just better then others.
So .. today, I had 2 slices of toast with butter & peanut butter & water. Lunch I had salad & 2 slices of garlic toast. Dinner, we had ribs, broccoli & cheese, and potatoes. I've had water all day, one glass of milk, and I was going to allow myself one 12 oz can of Happy Happy Joy Joy (aka Dr. Pepper) ... however, I haven't even opened it, so I probably won't ... oh yeah, and the piece of cake... er... oops.
I watched this season's BIGGEST LOSER tonight too... WOW... biggest season ever is right. I'm really sad one of the twins went home, I think they both really needed to be there. I don't get to watch it on the *normal* night, btw... I have to watch it on FLN when it runs later in the week.
We still have to work on our membership to the YMCA and I need to start working out here at home. The only place I can right now, is our living room, and when you have an Autistic (probably) child who likes things just so, it's hard to get past that ... *hopefully* I'll jump on that bullet tomorrow.
It's slow, but I am making changes. And I will continue. I did take my *Before* pictures today, too. However, I'm not going to share those........ yet. I wish I could go live at a gym for a week and lose 20 lbs! That would be SWEET! But I have 4 lil ones that count on me way to much.
** Oh yeah, I forgot, my blood sugar was a lot better this morning then i has been most other mornings! YAY! It was 157 .. usually I've been lucky to see high 160's ... usually it's in the 200's .. so YAY!!!
