Update

I have had a rough couple days, we have a lot of stressful situations going on and I just can't pull myself together. I've made a lot of changes in my diet though, eating TONS of fruits and veggies. Last night when we went out to eat instead of ordering fries with my sandwich I got a salad with dressing on the side so I would just get a small dip per bite.
Today's MC was to name 3 healthy foods with a low glycemic index, measure recovering heart rate, and listing what we were doing today.

Extra Val Challenge:

i did leg lifts with Austin, it was fun! I plan to do them more often...

Also I did 2 reps of ten of lifting him up and down... that hurt good ;-)

Day 4 of challenge

Today has been so far so good. I have 28 points for WW each day. So far I have had a bowl of mini wheats and 1% milk - 5 pts and a cup of coffee with no sugar creamer - 1 pt. Also a cup of watermelon - 1 pt. For lunch I need to eat a raw veggie. So I will be eating carrots (which are ZERO points!) Val said tuna.. and that sounded really yummy. So tuna sandwich with carotts? We will see, still have 2 hours til lunch. LoL.
DH and I are going for a walk tonight, and hopefully every night since its suppose to cool off the next few nights. Its going to be 80s this weekend (ahhh a break from high 90s!) So I really want to go do a sport... what should we do?

Challenge from Val:

So a challenge was just posted to do an exercise with our Octobabies. What should I do?

Hurry they don't last long!

Day 1 of 30 day challenge.

I did HORRIBLE today! I had a horrible day, a lot of drama and stress. Although I did eat some carrots, grapes and broccoli.
Today's MC was to drink 64 ounces and a yoga stretch. I did neither. I am so dissapointed in myself!
Tomorrow WILL be a better day... tomorrow's MC is to eat raw or steamed veggie with lunch... so more carrots =) also a muscle relaxation technique. I will check back tomorrow to let you know how it goes =)
