Losing It

I am so excited I finally got some work done so I was able to take the kids outside and have some fun with them.  Running outside and playing with them is hard work.

I am so glad that have been drinking my water today.  I have been pretty good about what I am eating.  I am feeling really good because I have been drinking so much water.  I hope that as long as I continue drinking water like I have been that I will start feeling more like myself.

I started playing a great game with the boys.  We were thowing a ball back in forth.  I would then run after the ball.  The boys loved it.  I got some great exercise in there too.

I will keep going.  I will do it!

I love to go walk around the zoo.  It is a great place for me to be able to walk around with the children and see the animals while getting in some exercise.

I met a friend up at the zoo today.  It was so nice to walk around and have fun talking.

We decided we wanted to see the primates, which I don’t usually go see because they are at the top of a hill that is so hard to climb, but we did it and I pushed through.  It was a great feeling to make it to the top.  I made it.  I am so proud of myself.  I made it to the top.

We walked around for a bit then walked down the hill.  I am so glad that I did.  I needed to get out of the house.  The kids had fun.  I had fun.  It was a great workout.

My day in reveiw:

1. Drink my water  again I need to focus on this.
2. Do some exercise with the boys and dog every day this week     We went to the zoo.   Walked around.  We played outside after dinner
3. Go to curves 4 days this week - No curves today
4. Stay away from sweets  I had a small piece of cake
5. Find a better way to deal with stress    Stress was my entire day , but it looks to be getting a little better by the end of the day

It has been a very long day for me. It started by taking my youngest to the dentist. I am so glad that is over. He did much better than I expected him to do. Then an afternoon full of work. I worked very hard to get as much work as I could get done during the day done.

Then we decided to go to the county fair. It was so much fun walking around and seeing all of the different animals. It was amazing to see of the nursing animals. Especially since i am a nursing mother it was a very touching site. We walked around for a couple of hours. It was a great walk. I feel great, but my feet are killing me.

I was going to try to go to Curves, but that did not happen today, and I am sure that if I did make it that my legs would have fallen off and be sitting on the floor next to me.

I plan on going to either the zoo with the kids tomorrow or taking a walk to my mothers house. Either way I want to get out and have some fun. I will go to Curves in the evening.

We have spent the last week on vacation. It has been so nice and relaxing. The problem being is that when I am on vacation the idea of watching what I eat seems to go out the window. I have been snacking on the chocolate snacks that are around. Don’t forgot the donut sticks that I just had to pick up. Oh yea and did I mention all of the pop. It is just amazing how easy it is to forget the fact that I want to loose weight.

Now the nice part is the fact that we are at the lake. I have been running around playing with the children. We go into the lake and running and chasing them in the lake is so much fun. I enjoy it. Earlier today I was chasing my son up and down the sidewalk. He would run and I would chase him, and then he would turn around and chase me. It was a lot of fun.

The biggest problem with being on vacation is the lack of sleep. We are staying up later to do things with the kids. So by the time we get to bed it is late. And then the kids don’t care that we are on vacation so they still get up early, and we have to get up early. I can’t wait to get some more sleep.

What a difference a day makes. I can’t believe it. I decided to make water be my priority. Taking the time and attention to making sure that I drank my water. It is important to me to make sure that I keep up with my water. All too often I let it go and I forget about it.

Well yesterday I concentrated on it. I am so glad that I did. I feel amazing today. Refreshed. I did not have a headache all day. I am more awake and able to focus on the world around me.

I also noticed that I did not eat as much. Instead of going back for more and more food, I stepped away and drank a glass of water. It felt good.

I also went out and played with the kids. Running around back and forth. I was tired at the end of the day but I feel amazing now. I can not believe what a difference it makes to get up and get the blood flowing and to drink my water. I feel like a new person.
