And so it begins. I drank my coffee with half and half plus splenda. It was fine. I didn't feel deprived. I fixed a green pepper omelet for breakfast. I used real cheese. That's right, REAL cheese. I'm trying to focus on the positive here, peeps.
I was thinking that I would talk about my food choices on here, but I'm not going to . I already use myfitnesspal to log everyday and frankly, I obsess enough as it.
Day 1 went fine. That doesn't make me hopeful really. Day 1 always goes fine.
I did manage to get a run in while Izzy was at cross country. It was fine. The weather is perfect, much better than fine, in South Carolina and the trails are beautiful right now. I continue to be amazed at this place God created.
Maggie has a Halloween party tomorrow at school. We made ghost banana pops. They wanted us to bring fruit and so we did the best we could. They turned out
I saw an interesting video today about how the media shapes our expectation when it comes to beauty and the perfect size. You can view it here:What We Do in 37 Seconds. I have literally watched this over and over. What a mess we have made of expectations. This is absolutely not fine. I do not want my daughters to focus on unattainable physical expectations. I don't want my sons to believe that girls should look like this. Holy heck, I don't want to focus on unattainable physical expectations.
Right now, while I type, the house is pretty quiet. Allen and Matt are not back from soccer just yet. Isabell is finishing her homework and the littles are already tucked in. There is a plethora of things I should be doing. Toys are scattered here and there and the laundry is a mountain. It will wait though. It's Fine. Tomorrow is a new day.
Love,
Barb
