How was your week?
I’ve been eating well and writing down everything I eat. It helps curb mindless snacking because my snacking tends to be a bite of this, and a bite of that, which would result in a lot of writing and a very long list. And this week, I asked Nate to start reviewing my eating log which further curbs the mindless snacking.
On Thursday, I did physical therapy and weights. I wanted to walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes yesterday, but that didn’t happen. Today, I’ve done weights, and hope to sneak in the physical therapy again. There’s so much going on, and Clark is fussy, so there isn’t much time.
Clark will be blessed in church tomorrow, and afterwards, we’re having a get-together and luncheon for family. I have a lot of cleaning to do, and Nate is on a publication deadline, so I’m on my own with the housework AND the kids.

It sounds like you are doing well, especially so soon after giving birth. I applaud you!
My weight held steady last week and exercise is becoming more of a habit. I am a bit disgusted with myself for not losing weight; every time I eat for a reason other that true hunger I know that I am sabotaging myself, but I don’t stop.
This week, I am going to try “8 Minutes in the Morning”. I’ve been walking on my treadmill, but I’m worried about toning my muscles. I think the exercises in this book will help, but I don’t know if I will be able to stick to the Cruise Down plate. Basically, you fill 1/2 your plate with vegetables, 1/4 with protein, and 1/4 with carbs. The vegetables with be the problem, but I’ve got to try.

Wow, sounds like your house is a busy place! I’ve been meaning to wait for your next health group to recommend this, but maybe this isn’t quite the week… I bought a copy of the Flavor Point Diet, and Kevin and I have been following it (enthusiastically) for two weeks so far. It strikes me as the sort of thing that would match well with your objectives, but it also takes a fair amount of organization and time for grocery shopping and food prep so again, this might not be the week. Once things settle down a bit though? 🙂 So far I can’t recommend it enough as long as you have the time to commit to it.
