Thanks to one of my bestest buddies in the whole wide world, who I am lucky to work with every day - well her and my Mom gently reminding me that every extra pound that I put on, I have to take off after the baby is born - I have started to LOG again and be serious about eating well. I got really caught up in that whole, I'm preggo - so I better live it up!- attitude. When deep down, I know I feel SO much better when I eat right and drink my water and get my exercise.

Even after day one - and going over 14 calories, lol - I feel so much more in control. I'm not really overly concerned with the calorie number that I see, but I want to kick the sugar habit and the fast food trap. It's funny, but when I am in total 'good world' and I am hungry I drive by a fast food place and think, there is absolutely nothing there that I should consider an option. I know, I know, in an emergency I could muster up something but just because I am hungry? Nah. When I am justifying every bad decision, I pull up with the intention of ordering something remotely healthy and then do otherwise...

I really have an opportunity here to raise my little ones with better eating habits. Matty already loves good food so I should stay on it and keep him supplied. It's my laziness that will allow him to fall into the convenience trap. I fell out of the habit of packing he and I a healthy snack for the car ride home after I pick him up so today I started again - packing us a good snack to hold us off till dinner.

I better go - work awaits.

I can see a glimpse of Monica's (used to be MNOWAC) blog but when I try to go to it, it won't let me. The first few lines talk about her father passing Is there another way I can get to her blog?
