Well, I've been struggling these days with eating properly. I'm still working out, but am losing the battle to sweets and comfort foods. I'm not happy about that!
Having said that, we met with the dietician yesterday, and we were pleasantly surprised by the news we received. Kyle isn't technically a diabetic yet- he has pre-diabetes, and it's completely treatable and reversible. But, that's as long as we observe a strict diet following the Canada food guide and smaller portions more often throughout the day.
So, even though I am not diabetic/prediabetic, I have a new goal to reach. This morning, I ate a proportion accurate breakfast that incorporated three of the food groups already. And, I feel good!!
Oh, the other thing we must change is going from regular everything to "lite" everything. Should be easy, right?

Feels Good
Its another day to get this right!
Day 4-
I woke up planning on not exercising, but when Kyle suggested having egg wraps for breakfast, I changed my mind. If we were going to eat a healthy breakfast, then I was going to do everything I could to keep myself in that healthy frame of mind.
And, so far, so good! I added 10 more jumping jacks to the two reps that I'm doing- totalling 60 altogether, and as far as the posture stretches goes, I added two more to make the hip flexor (??) portion 5 each instead of 3. I could probably add a lot more to that routine- it isn't strenuous at all.
At lunch, I ate the same as the kids- a cheese sandwich and a glass of fruit smoothie (todays concoction was peach, strawberry, banana, spinach). I made another one after nap time, and that concoction is peach, banana, pineapple. (There's still some left in the fridge). Yum!!
Since J is over right now, and probably will be staying for supper, I'm whipping up a couple pizzas.
Last night was pretty low, which is why I kind of woke up in the wrong frame of mind. I seriously pigged out on peanuts before bed time, which is a huge no-no. At least, I've been struggling not to do things like that. So, I fell off the bandwagon last night, but through Kyle's gentle persistence, I got back on! Thank goodness for that!

Its a New Day
Its just after midnight, so a new day- a new beginning!
Yes, its already begun, but this is just another way that I hope staying accountable to myself, my husband, and my children--and now to you, the world wide web--will keep me on the skinny 'straight and narrow'.
I suppose the main objective of my blog is to journal my thoughts, the struggles, the successes- everything related to my goal of losing weight and getting back into shape.
I'm glad you've joined me on this journey!
