This evening while brushing their teeth my children hopped on the scale. They were thrilled to share with each other how much they weighed. "Mom, I weigh 54lbs, how much do you weigh?" My response, for this evening since I am one grouchy mama, was, " too much. I don't want to talk about poundage right now."
I am happy to confess that I am back on the exercise wagon. I worked out twice yesterday and twice again today. I am trying to not let obstacles get in my way of exercising. So I work out around my children. I push Grace in the stroller when I go running and sometimes all my kids come with me. Yesterday ended in a few melt downs due to their inability to keep up with me. Thank goodness Hannah slowed down to walk with Isabel. I don't think they will be coming with me again. Working out is important to me, so I make an effort to fit it into my day.
Now if I could just take that same attitude and apply it to my eating. I am trying harder. I did buy some veggies today. I know how important it is to have those in my diet everyday. But that is another thing. Eating healthy can be expensive. That is where being frugal takes a front seat. I only buy produce that is on sale and try to come up with a menu accordingly. It's a challenge. But one that I welcome.
