First and foremost, thank you to everyone who commented and supported my post from yesterday. Your kind words helped quite a bit to help boost me out of the pity party I was having.
Saturday recap: I walked a total of one hour and did 15 squats. I got in 6 large (24oz) glasses of water. And my food victory was that even though I made fries for my family for dinner, I only ate 4. Lunch was not the greatest (2 slices of frozen pizza and some sliced cucumber) but I did manage to get through the day without snacking, which has been a huge weakness lately.
I spent a lot of time thinking yesterday, and I have developed a list of truths for me...
1. When I am physically active, I am more productive in my day-to-day life. I am more likely to get through my to do list and feel good about the condition of our home, and who I am as a wife and mommy.
2. I HATE workout videos. The chirpy leader, the schmaltzy smiles of his or her back up group, the elevator music... blech. If I have to force myself to use a workout video to exercise, I just won't do it. I am better off if I come up with my own routine, and do it while I watch a favourite tv show, I'm more likely to get it done. And not be watching the clock the entire time.
3. When I eat what I should, limiting my carbs and keeping my blood sugars in my target zone, I am a happier, more even-keeled person. I don't have the mood swings and massive carb-crashes that make me feel like a slug.
4. Counting calories is not my thing. I'm much more concerned about my carb numbers, as they relate to my blood sugars. So, I don't think that I will use the food tracker here (I never really have, and I did very well without it last year), but instead I will go back to tracking my carbs on my own spreadsheet.
As for today, I have a small challenge ahead of me. It's Oscar Sunday, and as I always do, I have planned a dinner of appetizers and nibbles so that I can enjoy the show and my family can still be fed. I have a few plans in place to help me. Instead of bringing the food out to the living room and setting up a buffet of high-fat, high-carb appies, the food will definitely stay in the kitchen. I will be less likely to unconsciously eat if I have to get up to get more. I am also going to put together a large plate of veggies, and I'm going to make devilled eggs (very little mayo, lots of spice). There will still be chicken wings and pizza puffs, but I WILL limit myself.
I hear my wee-lings stirring. It's time to get going for the day.
