I call yesterday a success. Eating wise my nutition was great. Sugar, sodium and carbs were in the middle range intead at the high end! Fat was a tiny high but it was mostly the good fats. I was over calories about 250 BUT last night I was so hungry so I had some turkey breast and a little cheese. This morning the scale was very nice to me 226.5. The shorts that I am wearing today did give me a good size muffin top that I had to wear a baggier shirt to cover. This morning just a little muffin top (and they are freshly washed). So my good work last week and at the begining of this week is paying off.

Yesterday I worked a half day and then took the girls to their yearly physicals. The doctor was happy that they both kept their weight within a certain range. They both could stand to lose a little weight but the doctor just focused on the fact that she did not want them to gain weight. I was so happy how she handled it. She told them the weight was important to plot but also that both of them are growing and their bodies are changing so much now that they need to focus on staying active and eating all the food groups. She made them both feel very good about where they are at now and what they need to do going forward. They both left happy and smiling...... Whew. When I was their age it was all weight loss focused and obviously that did not work for me.

After that we went to six flags. It was a perfect afternoon. It had rained earlier in the day so it scared everyone away. They were able to go to the water park do all the stuff they wanted to do there in about an hour and then they changed and went to the main park to ride roller coasters. It did break my heart. We were waiting to get on a ride and there was a larger teen who was in front of us, I was worried in line that he might not fit into this coaster as it is a very snug fits (as it should be!). He tried to get into the seat and there were 2 park staff trying to get the safety bar and beat fastened but it did not work and he could not ride. I felt so bad for him.....I know exactly how he feels because that happened to me one time as well......

Here is to another good day!
