Today was the first day of my nutrition class at the YMCA. I signed up for this 8 week course hoping that I would learn how to be more healthy and get ideas of what to feed my family. I had no idea I was going to weigh in, check my body fat and get on a 1250 calorie a day diet!!!! So today I have tried soooo hard to stick to it, checking the book for what goes in what category, measuring my servings, making the exchanges. I've had V8 juice, carrotts, green beans, an apple, canned peaches, dried apricots, salmon, sweet potato, pasta and sauce and a cupcake with NO FROSTING! I'm so tired of eating healthy and it's only been one day! So I still have one more starch and one more fat I can have tonight...although I just ate 2 bites of cookie dough Thad is making right now (Matt's cookies, he's so naughty!!!) so that probably took up my starch and fat! I can't believe how TINY the servings are we are actually supposed to eat! Normally I don't pay any attention to a serving and then eat however much I want, even trying to eat healthy we're way over eating! So this will be "fun" to see how I do on it! I'll admit I've been SUPER GRUMPY!! I want a TREAT sooooo bad!!! A frosting-less cupcake and bites of cookie dough just didn't cut it for me today. I would love to eat the 10 sugar cookies I ate yesterday, or the ice cream that 's in the freezer or my FAVORITE spicy Doritos that are hiding from the kids way up in the cupboard! I guess I'll go ahead and hand them over to the kids. I will earn the mother of the day award, and won't be tempted to eat them! If I did eat them, I would only get 7 or whatever anyways! Hardly worth it! Well, maybe it would be...
Wish me luck...I'm going to need it! :)
