Eating healthier

Okay, I don't know if working on patience this week inspired the boys to be extra rotten, or what, but I really struggled with being patient. It's something I need to be better at, so I'm going to keep at it.

In addition to that, this week I want to eat healthier. I've been contemplating giving up sweets cold turkey for a week, but that would probably just make me sad and grumpy and I would have an even harder time working on that patience thing.

Sometimes I have really good self control and I watch my portion sizes and I drink more water and I don't snack as much. Recently I have been bad about all of those things, so this week I will be better.

So to be specific eating healthy this week means:

• When I make cookies or treats I only get to eat one per day. Not half a dozen. Andy has been complaining that all the yummy things in our house disappear so fast...oops.
  

• I want to drink 8 glasses of water a day. I used to be so good at that one! Not so much right now.

• I want to eat an extra fruit and vegetable every day. We usually eat some, just not how much I know we should be eating.
  

• I want to show self control with meals, snacks and treats. I know how to do this, I've just been lazy recently.

I really want to get back into these healthy habits and get my boys to do the same. I've been eating lots of junk and I feel sluggish and lazy. I'm tired of feeling so gross, and I know my diet is the culprit. I'm excited about this goal, because I know I can do it, and I am going to feel better right away.
