Wow, into week 5 already. I have so much to say on my blog today and it's only 8:15 am!
First, I wrote an entry yesterday and must have hit preview instead of save. Because it's not there. GRRR!!!

I was having a great Sunday food-wise and then my husband took us out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. I enjoyed it so much as my boys, age 3 and 1, were so well behaved. We NEVER go out to eat. Especially in a restaurant because my husband is too nervous about the kids acting up. But they did wonderful and we really enjoyed ourselves. So I felt bad about eating off my plan, but the gals on the goal thread encouraged me that weekends are for family and to move on to a healthy Monday. So that's what I will do. When this challenge is over, I will just not worry about healthy eating on the weekends and focus on healthy eating during the week. But for the challenge I want to focus on 6/7 days healthy eating.

Another thing I wanted to write about was my husband. We discussed (at my urging, of course) how we can spend more time together. He said there is no way we can spend time after the kids go to bed. He is just too tired. He suggested I get up with him at 5:30 in the morning and spend time with him while he gets ready for work. Doesn't really sound like quality time to me, but I thought I'd give it a try. So this morning I sat with him while he ate breakfast and listened to him talk about his job. He ranted and raved about his work and what really bugged me was how much he was swearing. That is a big issue between us. He is better now about not swearing in front of the kids (although he does say crap) but I don't want to hear it either. I hate it. And when he tells a story, especially about his work, he punctuates every sentence with a swear word. I didn't want to say anything because I knew he would just shut down. But I was thinking, I got up early to hear you complain about your job and swear? I understand the need to vent, but I think there's a difference between venting and complaining. And sometimes I just need to stand up for myself and set limits on him more. But I wasn't sure if this was the appropriate time/situation. So I thought I'd just vent a little myself in my blog.

And then the other thing I wanted to write about was with my struggle to eat healthy when I see so many other people eating crap. It is so hard for me and I wonder if I should worry about this so much. Well, I hope this does not sound condescending. But this morning I was reading my Bible and came across a verse that really spoke to me about this. It was Psalm 37:1 "Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither and like green plants they will soon die away."
I know this is out of context, but it helped encourage me that I don't need to be envious of other people who are not being healthy. Hope no one is offended by that. But then again, this is my blog and I can say what I want here.

Okay, so on to a healthy Monday, focused on my goals. I am hoping to start my new blog format soon. Maybe tonight.
