So yesterday was Jonathan's BIG 10yr. old birthday... And we cant not celebrate it because I am on a weight loss challenge ( which by the way I felt exactly like Katie and Jess but was to afraid to say anything...Not that I stopped but I was not giving it my best). So I went and bought a small ice cream cake(Very small...Very expensive)...Then me and my husband were out getting him a card and things and I started thinking...what if the next door neighbors come over..We don't have enough so my husband told me to buy a small cake from the bakery just in case and instead if ice cream and cake we can have ice cream cake and regular cake...Which I know is very bad but, (and this is no excuse because I am not mad I did it)but your child only turns double digits once....So that being said only Meme' came over which is absolutely fine because it is hard to fight temptation for everyone and he is having his party this weekend. I have left over Big Y cake on my counter and my Aunt told me this saying on Monday and I loved " Once on the Lips..Twice on the hips" ... So am I going to over come the eating of cake all day I asked myself this morning while it stared me in the face.. I am going to cover it with my South Beach Diet bars and fruit..Because honestly I am to lazy to move everything to get a piece... I hope everyone has a really good Healthy week not just to lose weight to get our bodies in shape and so we can breath and walk easy with the nice weather coming in a couple of months...

Very good saying! We certainly pay for everything we put in our mouths. Excellent plan - putting your bars and apples on the cake. That will take a lot of will power to not have any today. I almost bought my favorite cupcakes at the grocery store yesterday - Entenman's holiday cupcakes with a layer of fudge on the top then frosting on the fudge and then candy on top of the frosting (geez, you think I like processed sugar or something?!). I picked them up and put them down 3 times each time looking at the calorie count - 290 for one - and trying to justify it to myself.
But anyways, we are all strong individuals. We have overcome so many other obstacles that I know we can overcome something small like food.
I agree.....it is great to have cake and icecream...Thank You Jonathan for turning 10. But the left overs are always hard . The kids will take care of them soon enough....hang in there girl...help is on the way....( I can come over and get rid of the cake for you .. wink wiink...put the tea water on and Presto ...cake is gone..hehehehee...if it were only that easy.
Love you Angie ... you are a good MOM !!!!
I once had a sign on my refrigerator that maybe I should put back up. "I am responsible for what goes in my mouth!!!" It's so true. No one force feeds us. We make the choices. So why is it so hard to resist the temptations. We know in our minds the right thing to do, we just need to do it! I'm planning to have a good week. Planning - bringing fruit to work, drinking water all day, scheduling time to the gym. No excuses.
