Thursday's Journal

I earned 2 activity points doing Yourself Fitness.

Here is what I ate:

1 cup shredded wheat with 1 Tbs. sugar and 1/2 2 % milk-5.5

1/2 cup macaroni and cheese-5

4 chocolate chip cookies-8

1 slice homemade pizza-5


It sure doesn't look like much typed up here, but it was plenty. Actually I got my monthly visitor, and I lose my appetite a bit at first. Unfortunately I also HATE to excercise during this time. But, I did yesterday and I AM going to today. Because my hormones were out of whack yesterday, my emotions were up and down. I felt so sorry for the children, lol! And that is the reason I ate 4 chocolate chip cookies. I did lose another pound which makes 10 lost, and I feel a little discouraged that it is so slow, even though I know for my skin to adjust I need to go slowly. After 6 children and excess weight, the skin on my stomach needs time to adjust and I have to lose slowly or else I will be stuck with a thin stomach with a bunch of loose skin hanging down. But I wish that I could just snap my fingers and be thin.

You know, I was thinking about when I was thin, and how even though I was skinny I was NEVER in shape, and didn't exercise at all. I hated it. So now I am thinking that even being older and having children that with my faithful exercising, I can actually look better than I did then because I will be firm and not flabby. That is an exciting thought.
