my goals

[blemons]

My goal is to first and foremost be healthy! I want to set a good example for my children and my family and be a model of healthy behavior for them. This is gonna be hard because we all have some hard habits to break. I will definitely keep you posted on how we are doing and the things that I am doing along the way to make this happen!

Hard habits to break indeed. . . can you say chocolate bunnies at Easter? Yesterday was bad, but I am starting on a new path today and hope to remian a little more focused than what I have in the past.

Goal . . . to look like I did the day I got married 14 years (and four babies) ago. Strong dream, but I think it's possible. Husband is on my side too.

That's great! I do not feel like I have anyone on my side sometimes especially my husband. he wants me to look thin and pretty again but then wants to eat at Outback every opportunity that he gets. How can I express to him that for this part of my journey I cannot do that?

Big argument over the weekend about where to eat. I wanted to go somewhere with some healthier alternatives and the family just wanted crap. I almost just decided to let all of the go out to dinner by themselves but thought that was not the best way to win the battle. So I simply went where they wanted and was able to find some dishes that were healthier than I anticipated. But when do I get the support that I need to see this thing through?

Everyone is doing a little better this week that we were the last time I posted. They all see that I am serious about this and that I need their help in order to be a success. Do not know exactly what the turning point was, but hey, I will take it.
