Slacking a little...

I have been kinda busy to get on here and just blog... So I thought this morning before my run (while my I let my breakfast settle) I will blog and tell you a little about the last week.

Last Friday, my husband and I had family coming in to town for our daughters baptism. I had been preparing all week for the house to be clean, laundry to be done, food to be taken care of. Friday came around and it was all ready, ready for our families to come over tomorrow for lunch. Saturday flew by, and I was sooo good... I made these peanut butter fingers that I always make and are so delicious, but did I have one?? NO!! Yay for me! I had self control. (they were gone so fast, I could have grabbed one but decided not to) but I decided not to have one. I did though have some Country Time Strawberry Lemonade, I know I am trying to cut out as much sugar as possible... BUT I have changed my mind a little on that... I will be getting to that soon enough.

Sunday came around and at church I teach some 7 and  8 year olds, and for weeks I have been telling them if they are good, listen to the lesson, and participate then I will bring them treats. This week I did.. and I only had 4 kids in my class and I had 24 little candy bars... (uh-oh) so, I let them all take two and took the rest home, gave my kids some and my husband some.. and I had 2..! I know I was dying for chocolate!! and I really did savor those 2 little candy bars... since Sunday, I feel like I have been craving something sweet and I have to tell you that I have been strong enough to control it.. with a little help from my husband..! Wednesday was a little struggle for me, but I opted for some Pringles instead of chocolate candy.. I know not much difference right??? but I was struggling, so I got them. (not sugar..) anyway.. It's my 2 year olds 3rd birthday Monday and my hubby is going out of town so we are celebrating it tomorrow (Saturday).. and yes, we are having cake and ice cream... I am making a batman cake... really excited!!

So here is my thinking... I am going to change my goal to no sweets till the end of summer to, VERY controlled sweets! I want to be able to enjoy my sons birthday and not feel so guilty about having a small slice of cake and a small scoop of ice cream if I choose...I really feel like I can control it now, and that I won't let it get out of crazy control like before... I still have not had a sip of carbonation!!! Yes! broke that habit, although on my bad days what I wouldn't give to have  DDP.  And its so tempting cause my husband has Diet MD in the house constantly...but I have been strong and not had any drinks of it.. just water and milk... So, I think i am making some progress... please help me stay on track....

As for my weigh in, I totally forgot to weigh myself before breakfast... I didn't have a huge breakfast, just yogurt and 2 slices of toast.. but I did weigh myself a little bit after breakfast.. I ate about an hour ago... and my weight was at 193... So I guess I am maintaining... give or take right?? I was going to say I will weigh myself tomorrow, but I am really trying not to weigh myself too much... so I will wait until next Friday... oh, and wish me luck my husband is going to be out of town for a whole week.... I am wanting to splurge a little and have a little fun... but then I think, would it be fun afterwards... so I think I might try and get some different ideas of healthy fun foods to eat...  keep coming back please, leave me a comment!!

Now, I need to get up and go for my run... supposed to go play at my friends house... I know I need that!!! :)
