so i started counting calories and writing down what i eat. today i failed but thats okay. i spoke with a friend of mine who has recently been successful as "taking off the weight." she told me a few things that really made sense to me and i think i am going to try and adopt the things she suggested to me, in my own life. so i'm going to track what i eat, try to stay below my suggested caloric intake, drink LOTS of water and exercise. but on top of that, i'm going to be praying my way through this. i'm not in control of the food i put in my tummy and i'm letting food control me. i am not letting God take control of this area of my life and its showing. i don't think i've gained any of the weight i recently shed - i recently took off 20+ pounds and thats a great accomplishment. what i need to do from this point on is not get down on myself for having an off day on my calorie intake and lack of exercise. for instance, today i ate a high amount of calories. they are still within my limit, but its at the higher end. but thankfully, my husband was wonderful and suggested we take a walk. even though i didn't want to, it felt good to get out and do some exercise so that will help against the extra calories. so hooray for a walk at sunset! (side note: on our walk we came across some neighbors with a newfoundland... i want one like WHOA! but i don't think it'd do well in hong kong when we finally move there... hmm...)
today work was good. leila was again, stubborn and not wanting to take an afternoon nap. any ideas or suggestions on how to get an 11month old girl to take an afternoon nap. i'd say she can just stay up but she is SO cranky in the afternoon/evening when she doesn't. she's just not ready to go to 1 nap a day, unless i give her and ailia different schedules. its a possibility. leila has always been better with less sleep, but i dunno. i have to do some research i think and get some advice from some mommies and daddies. halp!~ other than that, she was great. but i'm realizing i'm a little high strung the past few days... the slightest thing frustrates me and thats not good. this is where my eating comes in. i eat to calm down (bad) but overeating makes people cranky. i need to drink more water, get more sleep, more exercise, eat less, and most importantly - i need to pray and be in the word more. i love my new bible because it gives me SO Much information on almost any given topic in the bible. i need to read it more!
i think i've ALMOST mastered "halo" by beyoncé.
i think i may have bud record me as he's getting much better at recording and editing and such. not sure what i'll record... maybe a few church songs and a few secular songs. like i did on my previous cd. which i realize i haven't sent to like ANYONE and i'm really sorry for that. please forgive me. i will try to do that this weekend. but anyway - i need to keep singing. now that i'm not singing every weekend at church, i need to keep my instrument tuned and properly cared for.
i guess thats all for now. my parents are coming over tomorrow which is exciting! they leave for a vacation to our old summer vacation spot - melbourne, florida. i wish i was going. i'd love to visit the old stomping grounds. go on an east coast beach! we'll see i guess. maybe bud and i can go there when we visit florida to go to the wizarding world of harry potter! i'm SO excited to go. anyway - that is all. i'm going to bed. for real this time, i'm getting in bed before 11. (i've been doing that lately and its been horrible every morning waking up). so till next time, goodnight. ciao.
