♥ Missed A Day.
Hello Everybody!
So, I missed a day to blog. I know what your thinking. That I cheated all day long and felt to guilty to blog about it. Nope, you're wrong. Ye hath such little faith in me. *wink*The real reason was because I simply didn't have time to really blog. My oldest son is sick. He had horrible diarrhea and was vomiting. Plus, I had to prepare my day for work(which was today)Get laundry caught up, etc.
So today's discussion is about drinking more in points then what you would when you eat. I am so bad about this. I count them in, but it still takes away my food points to where I could eat and be full and not worry about cheating. I'm drinking water.However things like coffee,juice, and sometimes even tea you end up drinking way more in points then you intended. I have been very thirsty lately. So, I'll drink some water to help satisfy it but it doesn't work as good as juice or coffee. Especially in the morning with your breakfast or just your morning coffee. I am limiting myself to at least 2 cups of coffee. I do not like black coffee, and I can't stand to put skim milk in my coffee. By the time I put skim milk in it I would have more points then what creamer would be worth anyway.So I use maybe 2-4 packages of creamer. I know it is bad.
I also want to talk about the importance of stopping to take a bite. Literally, Stop and eat. Today the only thing I ate was one piece of bacon. I didn't get a chance to really sit down and eat. I usually sat down to drink, and rest then back at work I was again. When I came home I was still oddly enough not as hungry as I figured I would be. Until I swiped a nugget from one of my kids. I only had ONE. I stopped myself and was like you need to go eat something now! Still didn't really have time to slow down and eat. So, as I am writing this I am snacking on a granola bar. It is worth 4 points. If I had actually something cooked or was around something easy on hand. I probably would have cheated by now. That is why it is very important to actually stop and eat. A banana, An apple. Something quick and easy. I have baby carrots in my refrigerator so that when I am that hungry, I can just grab a carrot. Of course when I look in my refrigerator I see leftover mashed potatoes, and hamburger helper, and spaghetti (all things I have cooked for the kids, but I can't have!)
I have figured out a way though to slowly but surely trick my husband, and kids into eating healthy. I'm going to add stuff little by little. Like, replacing our regular bread with 35 bread. Maybe seeing if there is a healthier alternative to chicken nuggets. I can get my little one to eat just about anything.My oldest refuses to eat any kind of vegetable except green beans. As well as fruit. I need to look into getting a juicer.
So, what I plan on doing is: I am allowed to have around 34ish points. I need to set aside at least 10 of those points in liquids. If I continue to drink what I drink. Maybe further down the line I can substitute.
Anyway, that about sums about my thoughts and such. Until next time.
