New MrsRando's Journal, 24 October 2011

Last night dinner with mom -including cake and ice cream- was well over my RDI yesterday. I'm not going to stress over it though for a couple of reasons. First, I cannot uneat the food. Second, my mom and dad went to a lot of trouble to make me feel special for my birthday. Third, the food was soooo good. My dad made beef and noodles, green bean casserole, carrots cooked in coke-a-cola, pea, and grands biscuits w/ honey. My mom made homemade mashed potatos, yummy. Then we had mint chocolate chip ice cream (my abso fav) and cake from Publix.

My mom got me a dozen roses (she does that every year) and an arm band for my iPod when I'm exercising (score!). My daughters bought me a piggy knick-knack and my youngest made me a picture frame with her picture in it (so cute). My birthday isn't until tomorrow but it was nice to be surrounded by my family, it feels like it doesn't happen often enough.

Tonight I have a paper to finish for school; today is my last day of this class. Two more classes and I am finished with my Bachelor's. I'm so excited to be finished. I didn't finish with the GPA I would have liked, but it is not a bad GPA so I'm not going to be too upset with myself. I think I did pretty good for juggling school, a job change, purchasing a home, and planning a wedding. I will breath and enjoy my accomplishment, Lord knows I never thought the day would come when I had a Bachelor's degree.

As for my diet and exercise. I have to get better about my exercise. My husband's schedule changed so instead of him having 4 nights off he will only have 2. This kind of cuts down my gym time. I am going to have to see how the next couple of weeks go to see when I can schedule my gym time. In the meantime, I will go to the gym both days he is off and I will walk on the other days. Depending on my schedule it could be an hour walk or a half an hour walk.

I also have to be better about my calories. My MIL insists on buying and making cakes, cookies, and brownies. I have to be better about not eating a lot of that stuff. It's my waistline that is suffering.

Well I think celebrating your birthday is fantastic and it sounds like your parents are super supportive with buying equipment that helps you exercise. It shows caring and understanding. If your MIL insist on having all the sweets around, perhaps having meals and snacks that include a lot of garlic or salsa (stuff that does NOT pair well with sweets) so that your taste buds don’t crave the treats. CONGRATULATIONS on all your accomplishments! When is your graduation? Looks like you have a lot to celebrate in life and I am soooo excited for all your accomplishments.

That is a great idea! I should have thought about that before! I will have to think on that and see what kind of snacks I can come up with. Thank you so much for the congrats. It has been a very successful year for me.
