TGIF!! Ready for the weekend. I've been tired with this bit of a cold the past couple of days, so the rest on the weekend will be good. I do feel just a bit better right now, so I'm hoping if I stick to the cold meds it won't get any worse.
Last night I had a WOE fail a little because we had breakfast food for dinner and I ate a couple of pancakes. I'm moving forward today though and just doing my best. I think the plan I'm on is good, but I just need to find some better options for dinner or even lower calorie lunch while I'm at work. I'm supposed to eat 3 times during my work day, so even though I may have some healthy foods, the calories can add up. My family is so picky, it's just hard to find something we all like that doesn't break my calorie bank at dinner either. I'm going to try to work harder on evening snacking too because that is a hard habit to break. It's all work, but it's all worth it in the end.
So, I guess I know what I need to work on, now I need to figure out how to fix it. :)
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

When my kids were younger I did the "hide a vegetable" thing with them. I blended veggies into tomato sauce that we used for pasta and pizza; I shredded carrots that I told them needed to be sprinkled on tacos like "cheese" (and had real cheese, too); smoothies, smoothies, smoothies! They always had cucumber, zucchini, or a carrot blended in there. The bread items were my downfall. The boys would eat pasta and pizza all day, but so would I. Reducing portion sizes is about the only way to make it work. Thin crust pizza... I haven't tried the cauliflower crust yet, but I've heard it's really good. Had to quit KFC and switch to El Pollo Loco for fast food chicken nights, and even then had to switch from flour to corn tortillas.

Yep, I'm finding ways to make some changes for myself, like zucchini noodles on a pasta night, but my kids complain if they see anything extra going in their meals. They tend to want to talk to me while I'm making dinner since that's usually the first time I've seen them all day, so they know if I try to hide something. They're too old to trick, so I'm trying to find easy ways to get my own eating in check while still not going to the trouble of making a whole new meal for myself. I had them eating vegetables when they were young, but as they got older and their dad didn't eat them, they didn't want to either. At this point all I can do is be a good example for them and show them that you can eat the things you enjoy, but make them more healthy.
