I took the weekend to rejuvinate myself. I removed the pressure to lose weight for a couple of days. I am not saying I went crazy and ate and drank whatever I wanted, but I didn't weigh myself and I didn't worry every time I put anything in my mouth that I would gain a bunch of weight. It was nice. It felt good to just live and enjoy myself and not worry all the time about how it would affect how I look or how much weight I would gain....or how much weight I would NOT be losing. It is so silly that I put so much pressure on myself to lose weight. Yet, I continue to do just that. Honestly, I know I will not quit putting that pressure on myself until I am at a weight and a look that I am comfortable with. But, I will ease up on myself a bit. I do know that worrying and stressing about how I look will not make things better. And, the more I worry and stress, the more junk I want to eat and the less I feel like working out. So, I am going to try and new approach and not be so hard on myself. Maybe that will motivate me to work harder at achieving my weight loss goals. Maybe with my own support, I will be able to do better....what an interesting concept, huh? We will see how it goes. :o)
This weekend was a great weekend. We only had one soccer game yesterday and church. After church we went to the grocery store and all of the kids were excellent. Grocery shopping is not usually fun, but it is so much more enjoyable when the kids are behaving. After grocery shopping, we came home and had dinner. Once we all had dinner and were all cleaned up and in our jammies we had a family movie night. I love the nights when we all watch a movie together or when we just get to enjoy time together as a family. It makes me realize how lucky we are to have the family we have.
Today was a lazy day as well. We got up and made our usual Sunday morning breakfast consisting of pancakes, bacon, eggs and sausage (no guilt from myself for eating all of that) and, as usual, it was delicious. Then the kids went and played and John and I just relaxed. This afternoon, Lane had to prepare for his first speech in school. Third grade seems pretty early to start speeches but he doesn't seem to be nervous at all. This speech is a pretty easy going one and I think it is great getting the kids used to speaking in front of the class. He has to demonstrate how to make cookie salad. Tonight he made a few batches and put them in dixie cups for the class to enjoy after his speech. Sounds like a pretty yummy assignment to me!
Tomorrow I am going to get back to my healthy eating and working out. I am going to concentrate on filling up on fruits and vegetables and working out as much as possible. I am going to have a positive attitude and realize that I am not going to be perfect but I am giong to do as well as I possibly can.
Day 121....Looking forward to the new me.
