Christmas has past...

Christmas has past but not all the rich foods. I am still struggling to get up and moving more. I think because it is a break from school (no predawn 200 yard dashes for the school bus with my 3-4 preschooler and kindergartners), I don't want to get up early. The kids do. This causes the days to start out crazy and I spend half the morning or more trying to get things under control again. I need to work on going to bed at a decent time and making sure that I am drinking enough water. (I haven't been drinking water much during the day so I load up at night when things slow down and I realize how thirsty I am. Then I get up at night to go to the bathroom which wakes Liliana who is a light sleeper who then sometimes wakes her brothers....)

going the wrong way

So last week was a tough one for me. I didn't bake cookies (yet) but I did bake a pumpkin pie (that's healthier right?) then I made brownies, then had other desserts and unhealthy snacks like Reese's peanut butter cups......
This week on Wed, I made another pumpkin pie and a no bake cheese cake and a birthday cake for my mom (served with ice cream). I don' think the scale will be nice next week either.....

Emotional rollercoaster

Life feels like an emotional roller coaster right now. I am trying to make sure that I don't over eat especially some sweets just because I am feeling extra emotional. Still I want to bake cookies..... I feel like saying that trying to eat right is not that important to me right now but I also know that poor choices now affect my future. Still very hard.

So here are the holidays...

We have been busy with various things that make life busy. We had a good Thanksgiving and enjoyed time with friends and family. I think that I did fairly well not over eating too much. (Getting sick helped with that.) I still ate lots of dessert.....
