Today

Woke up today. I ate breakfast with my kids. I ate a bowl of oatmeal with just a small sprinkle of sugar and some cinnamon on top. I need to buy substitute sugar. I also had a cup of green tea instant coffee with one sugar pill. =) Then later for lunch I had a breakfast burrito that was leftover from yesterday. I made scrambled eggs with onion and tomatoes and chives. Wrapped it in a whole wheat tortilla. Then I made a quesadilla with a slice of turkey after that. I used low fat cheese of course. Gosh that stuff is so expensive compared to regular cheese! Sheesh! Who ever said eating healthy is cheap? It's not really. It's silly expensive unfortunately!!! Especially here in Norway. Oh and I also had two glasses of water with lunch and a banana after. I've had a couple glasses of water after that. One before my work out and one after. I did Jillian Michael's 30day shred work out with heavier weights that I bought last week. I really broke out into a sweat this time! :) I feel great! My son was exercising with me too. He tries to do jumping jacks and he looks so silly and adorable when he does them with me! He also tried doing a few of the other exercises with me. Such a silly boy. :) He had me laughing half the time I was exercising.

Well, today I'm trying not to get discouraged. I say that I've lost 10-12 pounds already but I just don't feel it! Not really anyway. I keep thinking that there is no way I'll lose more weight. I'm permanently the way that I am now. I'm destined to be this way for the rest of my life. I hate this negative feeling. I know the exercises are doing something. But I don't know. I don't think I'll believe it until I see it. I've seen some results so far just by not drinking soda. But is that it? That's the only results I'm going to see? I guess it didn't help much when I stepped onto the scale and it's not even Wednesday yet! Ugh! And it's not good that it's almost that time of month. I hate it! But I'd rather get it over with now since in just a couple weeks I'll be in Paris!!! =) My friend Holly is arriving...well gosh darn. Next Week!! Ahhh! Exciting! I'm going to not really exercise during her time here. We'll be walking around plenty in those days so I'll just watch what I eat. I'll try to anyway! We'll see how it goes! I do plan on drinking wine in Paris though! :) No stopping me there! It's going to be way difficult saying no to the macarons though! Mmm I might eat one or two if we walk by a bakery :-P Well that's it for today.

Fajitas for dinner. I'm going to grill them and then slice them and put them in whole weight tortillas with some light sour cream and salsa. I think I'll cut out the cheese this time to save calories though. I'll buy some greens and make myself a salad instead I think. My whole family is having the same. I'll shred some cheese for them though. And for my son, since he's so darn picky, I'll cut some chicken in cubes for him and serve him some veggies or some sort. :) Same for my daughter but she's good at eating what the rest of us eat. Oh ... I might make some Mexican rice with brown rice. At least a little bit of it! Maybe Mikael will love that!
