Pitfalls

I am pleasantly surprised by how well I've done this week. My weakness is sweets (shocker?) and also just being AWARE of how much I am eating. I started using a website to count my calories and to keep track of my activity. That was really helpful! After using it a couple days I realized that I was within my calories with my 3 meals a day with a small snack of fruit or veggies in between, but if this was last week I would have put the kidlets to bed and eaten a bowl of ice cream while reading a book. THAT is what puts my calories over. Also when I put in my exercise I saw that my calorie burn went WAY up! How exciting!!

So the pitfalls? Life. Wednesday Isaac got sick. His sickness wasn't too bad but he was up a lot in the middle of the walking around and restless. The next day Mason got it and Oh boy! Did he get sick! Poor little guy was just miserable and made my life a little hard. He's just now breaking his fever and feeling better, Thanks goodness!

So with all that I still got in three solid workouts and didn't eat ONE sweet thing at all Monday - Thursday. Friday I had to make cookies for Super Saturday. I didn't eat one while cooking them! Proud me moment! But at Super Saturday? I ate two. It was a moment of weakness :)
I won't tell you how many I ate on Sunday :I

Love,
