Quote From: cussmotor2The grandchildren have been keeping me busy, but that's OK as my time with them is so short.
Sharon, I agree with you--for me every day is a challenge and although I am not stressing so much about not losing, I can't become less vigilant about attending to myself. When I do that, I lose focus of what I want and where I am going. I did not like the photos that were taken of me this summer--those extra 30 pounds that I've put back on did not make me look great! I wanted them gone for Christmas, but I am not giving up! I'm still taking one hour/one day at a time.
So far this holiday, I've been very good about what I've chosen to eat. My dear DIL makes it easier as she plans for healthy meals....not always what I would choose, but healthy. It is so much easier for me when I'm visiting someone because I am more careful about my portion sizes when I see other people eating modest portions.
I've even baked some cookies with the little ones--grandma has to bake cookies, my dear GD says. But, I've stayed out of them and am really proud of myself. :) In fact, I'm looking forward to getting back home and weighing in on my scales.
Well, I've been hiding down here on the computer for quite awhile, so I'd better surface before both kids come looking for me.
Have a great healthy day.
Hugs,
Anita
I'm so happy to hear that you are having a wonderful visit with your family. And it sounds like you're doing a great job of being mindful about the foods you are eating.
Yes, Grandmas must bake cookies - that is one of their jobs - LOL! Doing that with your GD is not only making cookies, but also making wonderful memories that will last with her for a lifetime.
Enjoy your day!
Hugs,
Sharon
