Thursday May 5th, 2011 Rebounding.....I hope!

Today's Good Things:
Earlier start
Bible study day
Testing is DONE!
Sweet evening with the fam
Ended the day well calorie-wise
Resisted a lot of things I haven't been resisting

Today's Not So Good Things:
Too busy for exercise - again. Sigh.
Still high on the carbs
Guzzling my water late at night..not smart

Today was the best day I've had in a while, but it still wasn't great. I did, however, win some victories with my eating choices. I caved one time to an unnecessary snack, but otherwise I did well. It helped that I was rushing like a fool all day and didn't have time to slow down for lunch or snacks. I did NOT eat those amazing looking brownies at bible study...THAT is worth celebrating right there. ;-)

Tonite I am beat. But, I talked dh into joining me on the wii and we challenged each other to archery and bowling. That doesn't really count for exercise, but it was an active way to enjoy each other's company. And, it kept me awake. ;-) After that, I worked with my 5yo on her school books and then read from The Long Winter to those who wanted to listen. One of those sweet moments where they are all gathered around your feet. Love that. :-)

I'm working on a sugar cleanse, as we've had way too much these days. Birthdays combined with low-budget foods are making for some awfully high carb/sugar meals these days. Some things I can change about that, but others I can't. White rice for dinner sort of makes me want to cringe. Yet, I'm so grateful for the Lord's provision, and I know He wouldn't give us what will harm us. We just need to be wise on its use.

Tomorrow begins a marathon of sorts for activity once again. It's fun to be busy, but that makes it hard to always plan ahead and make the best choices. 

So far I'm under on my 1500 calorie goal for the day. I have a bowl of frozen strawberries topped with plain, fat free greek yogurt waiting for me as a snack. I think I'll split it with dh so I can stay close to my goal but still reward myself for my good choices today. :-)
