mars2kids's Journal, 20 March 2015

For right now I'm feeling better. I'm going to try to keep on top of my meds so that I keep the headache at bay and if I can do that I'm hoping I'll feel like a workout this evening. I go after work to pick up my fruits and veggies, so I'll be late getting home and my hubby has to work, so it will be dinner before a workout. It's supposed to be nice though, so I may be able to at least walk after dinner. if I don't have a headache I'll do the couch to 5K since it's a mix of walking and running right now.

Yesterday I wanted to avoid the drive thru, but I failed. I ended up taking the kids out because my hubby wasn't home and my head felt like it might explode and they wanted burgers. So Burger King it was. I kept it to a small onion rings and a whopper jr with no mayo, so I could have done worse, but I definitely could have done better. I wanted a regular whopper with cheese and I know I could have eaten the whole thing, so I guess I should just be glad that I didn't give into that. I am excited to see what fruits and veggies I get tonight and see if there is anything I haven't tried. It will definitely encourage me to use them up.

Tomorrow my dad is coming home for a visit, so we'll go see him a little before lunch time and be at their house for most of the day, then in the evening I'm going to see some friends I haven't seen in a long time. It's going to be a busy day. Sunday will be shopping and laundry. I need to get my kids some new spring/summer clothes, especially my daughter she's grown out of a lot of her clothes from last year. She's actually started running a mile with her brother every so often, so I think she's more self conscious about her weight. I won't say anything about her weight because she's not unhealthy, but we will limit sweets and junk and I will always encourage exercise. I don't want her to have a negative body image, but sometimes with girls I think it's just unavoidable. I will just be as encouraging as I can of the healthy habits, and I need to practice what I preach. :)

Have a great weekend!

I think you can make sure your daughter knows that she is beautiful - I think we parents sometimes don't say anything cuz we are so busy taking care of everyone physically that the psychological support gets forgotten. When you go shopping make sure your kids hear that you think they look good in their new clothes and that you are proud of how they take care of themselves!

You're right, Abba...a lot of scolding takes place at home (even in loving families). There's just always so much to do or say that even tone is more gruff that you'd think. The best of us is wasted (for lack of a better term) on strangers. I'll be working to find the balance between correction with my kids and the praise they need for just being who they are to shape their becoming.

You're right abbadabba. I tell my daughter that she looks nice in outfits that she chooses, but I need to remember to tell her more often. Sometimes I think when a parent says something positive they just blow it off, but if we would say something negative it would stick, so I've always tried to keep any body related comments positive. I even try to watch myself and not say that I want to lose weight or that I feel fat, I try to just say I want to be healthy because I don't want my daughter to look at me and think that if I feel like I'm fat that maybe she's fat. This teenage stuff is hard! :)

Exactly. Whenever I think about turning back the hands of time, it NEVER falls to my teenage angst years (lol)! The only thing I'd want would be maybe to be a little more confident and self-assured which is something that really can't happen without time. Nope...wouldn't want to go back there. :)

Perhaps you could ask to go running with your children or at least ask them to go walking with you. Make sure you keep it up beat. No complaining, nothing negative. Just a pleasant smell the roses walk!
