Wow, I can't even believe that it's the last day of 2009! Where has the last decade gone?! I am happy to say that my New Year's resolution won't be to join a gym...already done that! I think my resolution is that I want to take better care of myself. I am a mother of 4 children and I am always taking care of them. Making sure they eat healthy, don't watch too much t.v., get outside to play, take a regular bath...now I want to do that for myself. I think most mom's don't do it because it's like having another child to take care of...it's one more thing we have to do. Don't get me wrong, I haven't been walking around like a slob or anything, but I have grown a little lax.
I am feeling happier and stronger everyday. I am so sore today and I love that feeling. It means all of my hard work is paying off. Tonight we are having a party and I am cooking the biggest Turkey I have ever seen! Yummy Protein! I have been doing so good on my eating, even my husband has been surprised! I am excited for a new year...the only thing I hate is that my children are going to be a year older! I love them at these ages and wish I could hold on to these years forever. I love my children very much and would do anything for them. I hope they can grow into strong women who can love themselves for who they are. I need to be a better example to them. That is my main motivation for losing weight, is so I can be a better mother and show my girl's that anything is possible!
Goal for today: -Don't go crazy with all of the "to do's" on my list. Enjoy the day with all of my family at home!

You sound like you're doing great! I'm glad to hear it. I know your weigh-in will be a success next time it happens.
ReplyDeleteWe have been eating tons of fruits and veggies since we moved here. It's so easy to buy them with all the fresh stuff so easily available. Even with all the holiday cookies around I've been losing weight through the holiday season. I think that instead of eating bread and rice and potatoes, I fill up on whatever fruit or veggie we have on the table for whatever meal. It's been great and really easy.
The cat is also on a diet so she's suffering with the rest of us. I changed her food and she hated it. When I brought back the "good stuff" she rolled around on the bag and sniffed at it and cuddled up with it. But she can't control herself. She eats as much as I put in her dish. The other day she barfed up a whole day's ration on the carpet. Sooooo Groooosssss! Now she get's 1/8 of a cup 4 times a day and thinks I'm abusing her. We're hoping she learns to control herself soon. It's such a pain in the neck! But a lesson to everyone . . .
Ben said we ought to write a book on weight loss. It will be entitled EAT FEWER CALORIES THAN YOU BURN and it will be 2 pages long!

Amen to your resolution sister!
ReplyDeleteI love the book idea...only it could be a childrens version of how to keep your body healthy and teaching them the actualy purpose of food isn't just for pleasure, but that it's fuel for our body's...hey, this actually sounds like a good book! If you use this idea, I want a cut in the royalties!!!
