- cottage cheese & 1/2 banana

- carrots & protein bar (yum - chocolate mint)
- fruit protein shake
- grilled chicken w/ small baked potato, green salad
How I Feel:
I feel like I need to be better prepared for Sunday. I am just adjusting to the new church schedule and need to figure out meals for the day. Sunday's are one of my hardest days of the week anyway since we're home and resting a little more than normal. So I need to be better prepared for the day when I go to bed Sunday night. Especially right after church when my whole family wants to break out the snacks. But I feel like I am turning a corner and learning so much. I am finding healthier choices coming more naturally, I notice that I want to drink water more than I have lately, and I just feel good about the choices I'm making.
Gratitudes:
The gospel - I am grateful to know the truth and I am blessed to be teaching it to my children. I love their child-like faith and innocence.
Dates with my hubby - We went out last night and had a really good time together. I enjoyed talking about our healthy goals and connecting over those things. I am grateful for times alone with him where I'm reminded of how much he loves me and how he's trying his hardest to support me in all I do. He's trying and I need to try harder. He went and did a Crossfit workout yesterday (which is like military bootcamp workouts). He came home exhausted and then woke up in the middle of the night complaining that he was more sore than he had ever been. He said, "I might just cut off my legs. Then they'd stop hurting and I'd never have to do that workout again!" :) At least I haven't cut off any bodyparts this past week Leslie - must not have pushed me hard enough.
Technology - I am so grateful for the gift of living in this day and age. I'm grateful I can hop on my computer to blog, scrapbook, listen to any music I want - I love it!
Hope you all have a great rest of your Sunday!
Joanna, That is so neat that you and Cory are thinking of ways to support eachother in getting healthy. I'm sorry I didn't push you hard enough, lol! Hopefully you will want to cut your arms off tomorrow! I also like how you are preparing your mind for the pitfalls that lie ahead. If you know it is coming (like sunday after church) you can rehearse the way you will respond before it actually comes and you will be amazed at your strength. I had to do that before every enrichment meeting, party, or restaurant meal that wasn't on a free day. I already knew what I was going to choose because I chose in my mind before I even showed up! Great job Joanna
