Oh happy day...

Today was a great day. I went to church with my little family and something great happened. I was sitting in the last hour of class, and during the entire hour there was a bowl of candies on the front table. Of course when they do that they're going to give everyone some at the end of class, right? RIGHT!

So I had an hour to think about what I was going to do (and no I didn't think about it the entire hour! I'm not that desperate for sugar!). I was amazed that when the class got over I had no desire to walk up to the front with the rest of the class to get a treat. I simply gathered my babies things and we left the class. So simple! On the drive home I bragged to my husband about how good I was, and that felt GREAT!

If you know my husband, you know he loves Macaroni and Cheese... it is his weakness. I should consider myself lucky that all it takes to please my man is mixing noodles, butter, milk, and cheese mix together. But did you know that 1 cup of Kraft Mac N Cheese has as many Weight Watchers points as 1 small chicken breast, 1 cup of rice, 1/8 can of cream of mushroom, and 1/2 cup of peas? Holy Cow was I shocked. So he had mac and cheese and I had chicken, rice and peas. And I can tell you I was stuffed and I know I wouldn't have been full from eating 1 cup of mac n cheese.

So into yesterdays goals 1 day, I feel proud of myself for making a healthier choice. Today I also focused on drinking a lot of water and I did pretty well with that. Now tomorrow I need to get on the treadmill and take my baby for a walk in the stroller. I'm going to schedule time out in my day to get on the treadmill, otherwise I will put it off until the day is gone. So tomorrow I'm working out at 9:30 am.

7 weeks until we leave for our cruise! 15 pounds to go (at least)!
