Gentle, about eating clean. I set myself up for failure when I have that as my goal because "clean" is perfect and I always fall short. Doing the best I can, which is different each day, is what's important.

Today I've had a lot of fruits and veggies. I'm going to make a nice salad and pasta for supper tonight.

I mowed the grass so that was my exercise for the day.

Great work everyone.

Gentle, I don't even keep peanut m&m's around because otherwise they all end up in me. I tell myself I'm keeping them up to "protect" the children, but that's a big farce. Unfortunately, there isn't a cupboard that I can't reach.

Hello everyone :).

Sunday roast downstairs, but I got a lean cut and cooked it in the crockpot and my kids actually prefer brown rice to white so that much is good.

Here's as good news as I can muster up. A couple of weeks ago when I asked my 2 yo if he wanted to run errands with me, he ran straight to the stroller and climbed in. I've been trying to walk more than drive, and I guess it's working ;).

Thanks for the support tweety. It's good to hear from you over here. i haven't been journaling as of late sooo, i haven't been checking on you in your blog. i'll try to keep in touch a bit better; but, i can't promise. the boys and dh are keeping me hopping, which i love . oh yeah, i still love the zoloft too.

:lol2: I try to only eat M&Ms at work for the same reason.

Congratulations on your ability to improve your exercise lifestyle. Obviously, it's working.

Hi Hiker,

I like the feeling yes. but, I really like the accomplishing the goal much more than the sore feeling. I was sore because, I didn't have enough time to finish yoga. Today, I didn't have time to exercise but I didn't eat like a pig.

hopefully tomorrow morning, early tomorrow morning, I will be able to get in the 4miles then yoga.

The boys definitely had their needs met today though. They went to sleep not long after their heads hit the pillows. ds1 and I were at the pool for 3 hours today. ds2 played with his friend in the dirt. Later the boys and i had over "little friends". Mud, Mud, and more Mud. it was nice. they had fun and the other mother and I visited over a cup of water.

sometimes, it's hard for me to remember which goals are the most important. Only while typing this did I realize how much better the mud was than my walk would have been.
