Today is Sunday. I don’t work out on Sunday. I think you need at least one day of rest from fitness.  I do plan on staying on my diet, though.  I know there are some people that ‘take the weekend off.’  I don’t think the weekend should be a free-for-all.  Why would you want all your hard work the rest of the week to be lost on two days?  Anyway, I try to maintain that Sunday is family day in our house.  We try to spend the day together and fit in at least one family activity in the middle of all the household chores we have to catch up with.  Today our family activity was going to the mall to get the kids some Fall clothes, and then out to dinner.  I am motivated.  I have no desire to cheat tonight.

 Down another pound this morning! (141.5)  Tuesdays and Thursdays will be my busiest days of the week.  I say, “will be” because today is the start of our school semester.  My son starts pre-school, Sports Essentials, and home schooling one day a week. My daughter and I have mommy and me gymnastics at The Little Gym and she goes to a Mom’s day out program once a week.  Since I know I’ll be out all morning, I’ll take a banana with me as my snack before errands. I’ll come home to make my chicken salad for lunch, then I’ll have to go pick him up. Here’s a tip: I’ve noticed that if I take the steps to prepare a meal well before the meal-time arrives, I’m more likely to eat what I have planned. Too often, I have told myself, “I’m hungry. I was planning on this certain healthy meal, but nachos would be so easy to make” BOO! Well, my tongue says “yum,”  my mind says, “you go, you rebel”, but my stomach says, “keep this up and I’m not going to let you button your favorite jeans!”
