Doing wonderfully here!!!!
I just got my hour of exercise in and that feels great! 20 min of cardio/kickboxing,20 min a dance workout dvd on netflix,10 min zumba/dancing and 10 stretching.
Abigail made more lemon bars last night.Scott and I had one last night while we played Super Mario on the wii together lol.We had a blast and that lemon bar tasted so good knowing that it was a good choice.....Knowing that I had hardly any sugar that day.
When I put my skirt on this morning it buttoned much easier! I was tempted to step on the scales but I am not going to until Monday!Monday will be our day then!!!! I am super excited!!
I am not even tempted to eat anything I shouldn't and I thank the Lord for that!
I have more sugar calories available in my little planner than I ever have on a Thursday! The great thing about the way I am doing this sugar thing is that I never feel deprived.Right now I have 325 sugar calories available and if I get all of my water in I will have 50 more tonight.......I could earn more even if I got outside for some fresh air today for 1/2 hour etc.
It feels great to know that if Scott brought me home a Snickers bar I could eat it without guilt!I know that at any given time I can eat sweets if I want.It is fun to see how much I can save back though and it is not a good feeling at ALL to have nothing left in my "HAVE" pocket lol.If none of this makes sense to you,see my "Dessert plan" label.
~~~~~~~Thoughts~~~~~~~
A great thought I had yesterday.
It may take me months to lose the "evidence" of bad habits (lack of self control) from the past, but I can be a self controlled person TODAY!!!! I can have that satisfaction TODAY! Lord willing,I will never- ever- ever- go back to the way I used to be!
Last night,Scott and I were playing the wii and getting ready to go to bed and I was hungry.It wasn't really TRUE hunger but I was hungry.I said "Lets get to bed before I eat something." Then I realized what I said and I said "Nevermind.......I am NOT eating something."
I am not going to make bad decisions.I am not going to eat something because" I can't resist......".
I have more to say lol but I must stop for now! School needs done and the psewing room needs cleaned!

Tuesday noon......:):)
Doing FANTASTIC TODAY!!!!!
This morning I woke up to pack Scott's lunch and there were the delicious lemon bars left over from last night.
What I have always done? Eat a few of them while I pack his lunch.
What I did today? Didn't TOUCH them! It was CRAZY how bad I wanted some.That in itsself made me say "NO" just to practice self control! I had the calories to be able to eat some but I asked myself these questions.
"Is this the right choice?" NO
"Is this the way I want to start my day?" NO
"Do I really want to use my calories NOW?" NO
It would have been a bad decision so I didn't do it.
A few minutes ago I was giving a few of the children who hadn't had any yet a small piece of lemon bar.I was practically drooling.It was like my hand HAD to reach down and eat some! I could taste the flavor,feel the chewy,sugary,texture.......I decide to eat some,then I decided not to,I decided to take just one bite...I had to have just one bite......Then I decided NOT TO *just* because of how hard of a decision it was! I WILL have some self control people! lol
I divided it all up and didn't take one bite.I didn't even want to lick my fingers but I did because I didn't feel like getting up and washing my hands because I just got done working out! lol
So far today my water is great,tea is made,1 hour of workout done,excellent breakfast and I am getting ready to eat a big salad.I will update with my food journal later.
OH! I did have a small cup of cappuccino this morning.Vashti woke up with me at 5:00 all on her own and wanted to have a cup with me.I didn't even want one but we almost never have capp mix and I didn't want to turn down that time with her.
Was it a good decision? YES!
Do I regret it? Not at all!
I didn't drink it because I "just couldn't help myself" but I drank it because I thought it was a good decision...
Oh and Stacy M I am weighing every day.I may not update HERE every day but I am weighing every day.

My "sugar" plan
So there you see it! :) My fancy little planner lol.Every Sunday morning I get 600 "free" sugar calories to put into the "have" pocket on the left for the whole week.The pocket on the right is to hold the calories that are used up.The ONLY calories that are counted are dessert calories and it does not inclued say,brown sugar on my oats.I am not counting those sugar calories because that is not my problem area.Also,when figuring up the calories in a dessert I do not count the wholesome ingredients.Only the junk ingredients.For example,if I eat a store bought doughnut ALL of the calories are counted but if I eat a homemade oatmeal cookie I would only count the calories from the white flour/sugar and chocolate chips etc.I would not count calories from the oats/butter.
Next :).........I can EARN calories several different ways.The following things will all earn me 50 calories.
1/2 hour exercise
Drinking all of my water and tea for the day.
Getting outside to breath fresh air for 1/2 hour a day.
I can only earn the water and fresh air calories ONCE per day but I can earn as many as I want from exercising each day.I also get another 50 on FRI evening if I have 6 hours of exercise in AND I get 25 at the end of every day that I don't eat any white flour.
It is working great for me!!!!! It REALLY motivates me to get all of my water/tea in AND get fresh air.My FULL plan is to make sure to provide my body with ALL of the things it needs to be healthy.Not just eating but everything.A body needs to be fed nutritious fuel,plenty of water,it needs exercise,fresh air and sleep.I am concentrating on HEALTH and I know that in turn, I WILL lose weight.Getting those extra sweet calories is very motivating to me to get in my water/exercise etc.The sweet calories that I am consuming in this plan are NOTHING compared to what I usually eat.NOTHING.Oh and I forgot to add that I am completely free on SATURDAYS.I can eat what I want.BUT I still get to bank up free calories for the next week.That helps me stay motivated to still get in my water and exercise on Saturdays which in turn helps me to NOT be discouraged at all about my free day!

My choice
I was talking on the phone to Brandylynn yesterday and I said to her "I so so so SO hope I have an excellent week!"
It hit me after I said those words that what I am SAYING is this "I SO SO SO hope that I have an excellent week but I might not because I can't handle the temptation of sweets/junk food!"
How pathetic is THAT?
I WANT to have an excellent week! Why don't I just say then that I AM going to have one! I AM going to stick with my plan? Should food REALLY have that much control over me?????? Absolutely not.I completely disrespect myself for having such LITTLE will power and that is going to CHANGE!
I WILL follow my plan 100% for the rest of this week unless something MAJOR happens.
