what to say?!

What to say?! Usually I have no problem finding something to blog about...not much is going on. I've taken a more relaxed approach to everything. I quit WLW...I was too obsessed over it. I would check it constantly and honestly it was just a place for me to make excuses. To feel okay cause the other people on there would understand. Yes it was a source of inspiration...at first. After a while it was just a place for me to feel sorry for myself...and that's not what I want to do. I don't want to dwell on things. I just want to make them happen. So from now on I will only report what I deem worthy of blogging about. That means not being on here every day and just enjoying life with the family.

My friend Sara told me about her weight issues and how alot of it stemmed from watching her mom try to lose weight (half assed) her entire life. I don't want that for Becca. So I made a promise to myself (that's huge for me not to be taken lightly at all)...I promised myself that I wouldn't say I can't have that it's not on program in front of Becca. I want her to have a healthy relationship with food. So no more "programs" just us as a family making healthy decisions. If Becca wants a snack I will give her options healthy and not so healthy and she can choose what she thinks is the best thing to have...and you know what if she chooses a "bad" snack who cares I know she will choose the healthy ones as well...it's all about the balance. If I tell her she can't have something she'll just do what I do...want it more. So we will do the following:
1 Provide nutritious foods through out each day
2 Have veggies with lunch and dinner (most days)
3. Always have fruits and nuts available for snacks
4. Do something active each day
5. Wii fit Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat-Sun
6. Have fun and live life.

Life is not about a diet or food or any of this...it's about living and enjoying what you have while you have it.

We went out for dinner last night just Kevin and I...I had pasta...it was so yummy...and I didn't finish the whole plate...I ate about half of it and the chicken...and it felt nice. I didn't need anything more. It felt great and this morning I was down...go figure.

I realized that now that the pressure is gone it will just happen as it happens. I'm not going haywire and gorging...what I'm doing is having what I want and being conscious of what I'm putting in my mouth. Don't go overboard and don't go the extreme the other way either.

Next step is to get the supplements we need to ensure we are getting the proper nutrients and then that's it. Just LIVE! I think Becca will notice the difference too. I wasn't passing on the things mom's should pass on...like how to bake or just cooking in general...our palates became so boring. I'm really looking forward to just having a family meal of want we want rather than thinking about how to make it compliant to a program :) real foods cooked how we like it...and honestly other than our poor choices snacking we usually had healthy meals. When Kevin cooks it's always good. It's when we have take out that we fail :)

Time to live!
