Pat on the back: I was tired from shopping all morning and I thought "I'll just run through fast food." Then I reminded myself that I don't really want that and came home and made myself a low cal/healthy lunch. YAY ME!

{this is how I used to eat}

I wasn't always heavy.

In fact I used to be really slim....

I never dieted and I hardly ever exercised...

I was really skinny...and I loved it...

This article really sums up how I used to approach food. I ALWAYS listened to my stomach and I ALWAYS left food on my plate. I never really thought about it until I was trying to figure out how it happened that I woke up one day and realized I had a 100 lbs to lose. Part of living more mindfully is listening to my body again and giving it what it wants. The need for exercise is also important and I don't want to go back to having no muscle tone but the bigger issue for me right now is calories consumed.

{can't think of a catchy post title}

Goals (not really in order):

1. Taxes (learning that you need a certain tax liability to qualify for the full child tax credit...we don't have it. I'm really bummed we aren't going to get that $3,000.)

3. Exercise (just need to start with something)

- up & down my stairs x 20

- circuit (5x)

- 10 pushups (girly ones because I can't do the real ones)

- 10 sit-ups

- 10 squats

- 10 lunges (each leg)

- 10 calf raises

- 10 dips (goodness I hate those)

4. Bathe children (embarrassed that I have to list that - lol)

5. Dinner - Mini pizzas (Buffalo chicken for Ben and I and roasted chicken and cheese for kids), salad, broccoli.

6. Get dressed, hair, makeup
