Okay, not since monday but since the last time I weighed t 2-1/2 weeks ago. I will take it b/c a) I lossed it and b) I am now 6 lbs closer to my goal weight.
Making good choices today. For lunch I had a veggie & feta sandwhich on high fiber/low fat bread with grapes. Don't know why I don't eat that sandwich more often b/c it is healthy and I like it. Oh speaking of like, I had the tortilla soup from Bread Co yesterday. YUMMY. The veggies on my sand were from the salad half of my pick two.
So the lite sandwich is to make room for a few extra calories b/c tonight I am taking Anna to see Toy Story 3 in 3D. She is very excited so I am excited. Trying to decide if I am going later to make sure I eat a good meal or just go to the show and skip dinner. Anna always loves HotDogs so I could feed her there. Not sure what I will do. But I will count the points.

Went swimming. Good and bad
Okay time for honesty. I felt like a beached whale in that swim suit. I HATE being fat. I would have felt worse if I wasn't working on changing it. I am where I am, but I don't have to stay there. So I went for LOVE of Anna.
She had the BEST time. Full steam ahead my girl. She had about 15 to 25 trips on the child's water slide. A couple trips around the lazy river. I swear she took on a half gallon of water in the 90 minutes we were there. Smiling the whole time.
How I love that girl!

203 New Things:
There are 203 days between yesterday and december 27,2010 the last monday in 2010. So each day I am trying something new to improve my life. It will be a skill, new food, new drink, new exercise, new activity with Anna. Something that moves me one step closer to where I need to be.
Yesterday: Green tea. Tried it, liked it, don't love it, but going with it. 4 glasses so far today.
Today: Starting the choice option technique with Anna today from Love and Logic. If I get my living room clean enough, I am starting on a new 12 week treadmill workout. If not that will be tomorrow.

Desperate times call for: LOVE & LOGIC
I am reading "Love & Logic" in hopes that I can become a better parent to Anna. She needs more structure, less yelling, more consistancy and more freedom. Anna is not a dog, I know this, so don't get up in arms about the anaolgy to follow. I took my dog Bear for training b/c he would not walk on a leash, would growl at anything around. It turned out I needed more training than he did. So I think this holds true for Anna too. I need to be more patient with her, more consistant, more interactive with her. Basically, I need to give her more of my time. Well not really time b/c I spend a ton of time with her. My attention. I need to be more focused on her.
So last night we went to Borders to pick up my Love and Logic book and I bought her some fun sticker workbooks. So I found the workbooks on SALE and I had a 25% off coupon on my entire order. 6 work books 18.00. Sweet! So we go upstairs to look at the Melissa and Doug stuff b/c I love the stuff and was hoping they had different stuff than my normal Borders. Anna grabs a toy, I tell her put it back. She does, only to grab another toy. I count to 3, I pry it from her hands. She latches onto another toy and in the process rips the plastic. So I calmly pick her up and cary her screaming away. 5 feet or so, she gets down holds my hand, I get her to say sorry and we walk calmly down stairs. All the while an older Gentleman is trying desperately not to laugh, but is smiling from ear to ear. In line she wants to touch EVERYTHING...So I let her hold one of her books. It WORKS. Yes!!!!! Now this is patient good parenting....For almost 30 seconds it works. Well crap! If is finally our turn and she has space so she twirls.... twirls... I let her twirl until someone needs to walk by and then I let her twirl again. Some may say, she is misbehaving. NOPE. I did not tell her not to twirl. She is not yelling or throwing a tantrum...just twirling. I am honestly wondering what others are thinking, but still I let her twirl. We pay, we gather our stuff and out the door we go. A lady behind us walks out and says.. "She is adorable!" Anna says, "YEP". I say, "annA..." She screams, "Thank you!"
