My Family: From left to right: Morgan, Jason (aka Sweetie), Myself, Megan (down below) and Nette!
Wednesday night is the night when my sis-in-law brings her two kiddos over to have dinner and to go swimming. We usually always have a fun time, and tonight was no different!
My niece Megan has gotten to the point that she is swimming like a fish, and she is just dying to perfect her ability to do tricks underwater! I think at this point if she could be a water ballerina, she most definitely would!
Now for my nephew, Morgan, he is a typical 4 year old little boy who has NO FEAR!! He is also swimming like a fish, maybe he is more likened to a little Tasmanian devil who has the ability to swim!!! He is sooo cute to watch because he has almost NO BODY FAT on his little self, so he doesn’t float very well. He really just kicks and flails to keep himself above water, and even though he splashes like there is no tomorrow he manages to get himself around the pool like a little pro!!! Soooo much fun!!!
I just LOVE my Wednesday nights!!!! π
As for what I ate today:
Today is day 6 of my 30-Day-Self-Created-Visual-Nutrition-Plan!! I can eat whatever I want, but I have to take a picture of ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I eat and post it on this blog β and have to be willing to take any criticism I might incur!!! The knowledge that I have to take pics and post everything that I have eaten has really curbed a couple of poor choices!! Although, an occasional treat can sometimes be DIVINE!!!
I think I did pretty well today but seeing that I am sitting here typing, thinking, “Hmmmm…I am hungry!” I probably should’ve eaten a little more today, but that is alright – I will keep that in mind for tomorrow.Β I did weigh myself today, and found that I have lost 2.2 pounds since I started 5 days ago (I don’t count today, because I weighed first thing this morning!) I can tell that my pants are a little looser, and I seem to have a lot more energy than I had even a week ago! That has probably been my BIGGEST SHOCK!!! I LOVE IT!!!! I think what is making the biggest difference for me is all of the cheerleading that I am receiving through this blog! I am sooooo thankful to all of you for that!!! THANK YOU, TRULY!!!
With that said, here is the pic of all I ate today:
Breakfast: Fat free, sugar free, iced mocha, with a bagel and light cream cheese (I was having a rough morning, I really NEEDED that caffeine!!!)
Snack: None
Lunch: Salad made with spinach and mixed lettuce, rotisserie chicken, diced green bell pepper, and light Dijon dressing
Snack: Yogurt
Snack 2: Grapes with string cheese
Dinner: Sandwich made with spinach, miracle whip, honey ham, and whole wheat bread, and a serving of Sun Chips. I also had 1/2 a glass of Hawaiian tea (only 1/2 of what is shown), it was good, but a little too lemony – me and lemons have never really gotten along so well! π
Snack: A pear, which by the way was SUPER sweet and juicy!!!! YUM!!
Anyway, how are all of you doing? Have you been inspired to make any eating changes in your own life? I would love to hear about it in the comments above.
Have a FABULOUS evening!
