Confession from a pregnant woman

So my confession…I’ve been eating horribly.  I’ve eaten out more in the last month than I have in many, many moons.  While I understand that, “Oh you have a reason to eat what ever you want right now,” I also know the following:
  • I am really not the exercising type.  Yes I play Wii fit (did you catch that I said play) and will be walking with some friends in the morning (goodbye sweet sweet sleep, I shall miss you)
  • I wasn't uber skinny before any of my kids
  • I am not giving birth to a 30lb baby (Savory don't be wishing 80lbs on me again!)
This being said I am not trying to diet.  I just am convicted of what I've been putting in my body and how I have neglected my family and myself by avoiding cooking.  A few indulgences are good, I'm not going to swear off anything but I am going to tip the scales (speaking of food scales here) in the other direction.

I’m going to do my very best to eat at home and eat better.  So when I'm talking to you and mention we should go out...hold me accountable ;)

P.S. I wish there were cooler fonts on blogger.

Bad day

Have you had one of those days?  You know those days that someone points out several mistakes you made and then you yell at your loved ones and your bank account isn't overflowing with joy at the sight of you...yesterday was that day for me. 

Today is better but, man, I sure didn't feel like I had been worthwhile at all when I went to bed (even though I homemade chicken tikka masala and naan).  I wonder why we are our hardest critics?  I mean I know what makes me think ill of a person or "judge" them as it were (alot ~ but that is a conversation for a personal encounter, over coffee perhaps), so why do I think that everyone else is meaner/harsher/stricter?  Some may have just said, "Because they are".  Nah really they're not.  The majority of humans are just as insecure and expert self second guessers as you and I.

When I have a day like yesterday I, almost instinctively it seems, begin to think how much I screw things up and now I'm probably going to be in trouble and I'm just no good.  Really?  I know that most of that is just rubbish.  I do mess up, yes, but my "in trouble" was just having the mistake pointed out so I could fix it and I'm not really bad either. 

Another question...why is it sooooo easy to remember that one little bad thing and forget the tons of good things?  This past weekend was AWESOME!!  My family had a great time with two other families this weekend and got some tasks done.  Then y e s t e r d a y...did I think about my weekend at all...nope.

Ok well today I'm craving sweets so soon I shall find something to alleviate that need ;)
