View NIKKI8's food & exercise for this day

Food Report
Great day today with food. I kept my focus and did not binge at all. I am focusing on eating only when I'm hungry and was surprised that I did not need a morning snack. Of course I had a late breakfast. But I did not eat again until lunch. At lunch I recognized when I was full and threw away the rest of my baked potato. :clap:

Exercise Report
BFL Lower Body Workout and I did a run with my friend. We are still newbies to running so we ran 1/2 mile, walked 1/4, then ran a full mile (that was a first for us), walked a 1/4 and ran another 1/2 mile. Total run was 2 miles. We are gradually increasing our distance.

Joy Report
I talked on the phone for an hour and a half today to a friend that I really needed to catch up with. Too long to be on the phone, but the boys were sleeping. I had gotten the housework done, and my workout was finished, so I sat on the couch and relaxed while we talked. How nice!

Grattitude Report
I stayed home today and stayed focused. I made sure I didn't talk on the phone while the kids were awake and I really tried to focus on them and enjoy them. I played some games with my older son and we had a dance break where we turned up the music and danced really silly. So I'm so thankful for this time with my kids.

Other thoughts
I am trying to figure out what I can do to make some money for our family. We just did some juggling with our money and assets, and there is still not enough money to cover expenses. So I decided I must do something to contribute or we will be in the credit card hole again.
I am looking into babysitting so I can still be at home with my boys. (But this isn't my first choice.)
What i would really like to do is teach fitness classes. I know of 2 gyms here in town where my kids would be in the child care while I taught a class. But for one place, I would need certification, the other provides training, but I think it may be hard to get on there. Don't know.
I'm praying about it.

just had to pop in and say that you are SO happy not to be able to try this chocolate chex mix. I had to add it to my growing list of "unsafe" foods that must contain crack or something because they are so addictive that I can't stop even after multiple servings!! :kiss:
