Today's Good Things:
Time spent in the Word, great family bible time
Oatmeal & grapefruit for breakfast! (yay fiber!)
Got in my morning 15 (Ttapp with my girls)
Made a double batch of turkey noodle soup, a pasta bake and applesauce (from dd) for sick friends
Made a double batch of tortellini soup for the fam. (only 225 per serving!)
Wii Fit workout with my oldest. (fun!)
Still sore with the duct, but it's getting better.
We DIDN'T go for the Kid's Night special at a favorite restaurant for dinner.

Today's Not-So-Good Things:
Woke up 45 minutes late
Pizza for lunch. (2 pieces, no salad, ate late so was too hungry...blech.)
Missed my afternoon 15
Ate ANOTHER slice of pizza after my dinner...just because I was feeling grumpy. :<
I REALLY wanted to go to that restaurant for dinner. (blush)

So, today was kind of hard. I'm seeing a pattern that when my husband is home, which I love, I'm not as careful about my eating, exercising, educating, training, and choring as I should be, which I don't love. Hmmmm...looks like I'm needing to find some ways to make some changes there. I sure do love having him home, so I'm going to have to get myself some tools to make better choices.

My oldest daughter had a great time working out on the wii tonite. She sometimes struggles with some of the activities we do together to build in exercise. It was so nice to see her excited about moving, working and burning some calories. I've never focused on her weight, but we've always strived to give her a vision for caring for her body and making herself strong for the Lord's work. I pray that as I learn to enjoy exercise and living more actively, she also will embrace these changes for her lifetime.

I've been feeling moody, tired and short-tempered all day. It could be the lack of sleep. It could be the heavy carbs for lunch. It could be that I was trying to get all that soup made today while I should've been a little more attentive to my girlies. (the more supervision the better with them, ya' know. ;))  Whatever the reason, I'm praying for a good night's sleep so I can wake feeling refreshed. I haven't had that feeling in longer than I can remember. 8)
