mars2kids's Journal, 02 October 2015

I'm down almost a pound this week, so I've done something right. I know it's my eating that has been changed the most in the last couple of weeks. I've been eating a lot more fruits and veggies during the day and if I have an evening snack it's been fruit. Next week I'm going to try to get even more veggies in with dinner. I've also been getting my workouts and/or walks in, so that helps too. Now today someone is leaving my office and he's buying pizza for everyone and someone brought cake. I don't know if I will partake because I brought my lunch, but if I do I'll keep it minimal and not go too crazy.

The fall weather is hitting us right now and I'm enjoying it. I went for a walk late last night and it was chilly, but nice. Tomorrow we're supposed to go to the pumpkin patch with my mom and my brother and his family, but it's supposed to be rainy and cold, so we'll see if we end up going. My niece has been sick, so I don't think they'll want to take her out if it's raining. I want to go look at the mums though and pick up a couple if they aren't too expensive. I need some outdoor fall décor.

Here's my mom mini-rant for the day: Last night I was stressing a bit because the dishes needed to be done and I wanted to go for a walk. Well, doing the dishes is one of my kids' chores and they were home all day and didn't do them, so I was a "mean" mom and made them do their chore and I went for my walk. I don't know why but I sometimes feel guilty making them do their chores, and I know shouldn't. It's not like they have a lot to do, just keeping their stuff picked up, taking out the trash and recycle, dishes, and taking care of their dogs. I need to remember that I don't need to stress myself by doing their chores, that isn't teaching them any responsibility. So this weekend they are doing their chores and I'm going to do some things that I have put off because I get busy doing everybody else's stuff. Time spent on their Ipads or watching TV isn't that important.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

I keep reading on FS where it's 80/20 food vs. exercise (and I believe it), but you've got BOTH working for you in spite of your busy schedule -- well done! ABSOLUTELY NO GUILT for enforcing chores -- that's a reasonable load/expectation for the kids, and it's never too early to learn 'accountability/responsibility'. Nice drop, Sassy! Enjoy your weekend and good luck with the test!

Nice drop and don't feel guilty. Kids need to do chores, you don't want them to get spoiled.
