Wow, I've got to be better about posting daily. Now that the new week has started I will be better. It gets hard on the weekend to find a spare minute what w/ all the napping that happens around here. ;)
I realized I forgot to mention what kicked my butt into gear to start exercising last week. I recently joined a mom's group on meetup.com. The first meetup was last week at a park in Wichita. I had never been to the park, didn't know what to expect from the group meeting, and was nervous as hell. I always get nervous when going into a new situation/meeting new people. Luckily my kids have a way of relieving my stress in public b/c I figure I'm too busy running after them to worry if anyone is watching me. (Yeah I can be that paranoid.) Anyway, I didn't know how many other moms would be at this meetup, and there were A LOT of moms and kids there. I had planned to just wander over to a group and ask if they were there w/ the meetup group. I'm trying to direct my son over to a different part of the park when this line of women pushing strollers comes jogging down the sidewalk in front of the park. There are easily 7 women all pushing double strollers, one of them is at least 6 months pregnant. They come into the park (it's a gated playground area) and unbuckle their kids and send them on their way to play while the women unroll their yoga mats and resistance bands. One woman, who is clearly the "leader," immediately lays down and yells out, "We're going to start w/ the V move!" Which is you sitting on your butt w/ your legs slightly lifted and your arms doing a kind of chest fly w/ the resistance band while doing a small crunch. Wow. I watched these women w/ both admiration and disgust. God I hoped this wasn't the group I'd gotten myself into! For a split second I panicked, but the panic quickly subsided when I got a message from the meetup group that a mom had just arrived (you check in online) so I knew this jogging mom group was not my group. A huge weight was lifted. I did however find 2 other moms that belonged to my same group and hit it off w/ one of them. After I got home and was telling my husband about the jogging mom group, I realized while I couldn't necessarily become a jogging mom, I could become a fit a workout into 30 min. of a day mom which is what I've been striving to do. Some days it doesn't work out and I'm not beating myself up on those days, I'll try and keep up when I can.

I didn't do so well on the self control on Saturday as I would have liked. When my husband cooks he tends to make wonderfully fatty, fried foods.
