The last four days have been a huge blessing to me. My
Granny and Aunt from Washington State came to visit! I have enjoyed my time
with them fully. This is only the third time since 1995 that I have got to see
them. We celebrated my son turning 13;
had a family dinner with my two sisters, their spouses and children and my
mother. Lots of celebrations with lots of food! Not to mention we just had
Fourth of July get-togethers the weekend before.
I knew going into these two weeks that I was going to focus
on maintaining my weight. This would be a victory in its own. Last Friday for my weigh in I was at 198.2…so
I had a 2 oz. gain. So this I can live with! Now this week will be a different
story! I didn’t want to obsess over what I ate and take away from spending time
with Granny and Auntie. Tried to balance as much as possible. This is still a learning process for me...
The problem was all of the leftovers from the birthday
party! I have cookie cake, birthday cake and ice cream setting around. Then we
had lunch at my sister’s house Sunday and she sent the leftover cookies and
chips home with us. Snicker doodle cookies are the devil I tell you! I ate 3 of
them! This is why I just can’t keep stuff like this in the house. Plus it’s not
healthy for my kiddos to be loaded up on sugar either. I have a headache from
the sugar. I had been keeping my sugar intake below 24 grams a day, which is
the recommended daily serving.
I’ve got to stay on track for the rest of this. I will do my
daily workouts. I will get to sleep on time. I will not eat added sugar! This is
a promise I am making to myself. I did well yesterday and today. The children and I walked to the park and played some basketball. The fireflies were out and it was so peaceful. I enjoyed time with my kiddos and nature. Bonus, I hit my daily goal of 10,000 steps!
I am going to do a detox in the next week or so. About 6 six
years ago my husband and I were in a car wreck and we had to go to physical therapy.
The therapist there gave us a detox recipe that worked wonderfully. For some
reason I am thinking it was from the Mayo Clinic…but I could be wrong. It
involves Epsom salt, grapefruit and olive oil. So stay tuned for that post! lol
