Happy Mother's Day!

Well, I can say that I truly feel blessed to have a beautiful baby girl and a wonderful husband who is a great dad! It's so great to be a mom and to be entrusted with a little life. Somedays are tougher than others, but it's so worth it! Happy Mother's Day to those of you it applies to, and to those of you it doesn't, I hope you made the mother in your life feel special today.

If you read my weekly report that I posted this morning, you know that I'm already seeing results from eating well and exercising! It's very encouraging. Jon has also been serious about doing this with me, and that has helped tremendously. He's been completely on board with everything I want to try for food. Hopefully I can recover from the less than healthy eating I did this weekend, and get back on track.

Today was really nice, but the food wasn't as healthy as it should've been. It is still the weekend, and I'm giving myself some wiggle room because of that, but today was a little crazy for food. We were running a little late this morning as usual, so I didn't have time for a proper breakfast. After church, my family met at my grandpa's for Lee's chicken. It was a nice time, and I tried to be a little careful, but the fat and calories still added up.

Food:

Breakfast: Fiber 1 bar

Lunch: 1 Lee's Famous Recipe chicken breast, and mashed potatoes and gravy. Grandpa brought out ice cream for dessert, but I had a very small bowl and it was slow churned ice cream so it was lower in fat and calories.

Snack: Handful of walnuts

Dinner: 2 slices of homemade healthy pizza with whole wheat crust, olives (black and green), onions, green peppers, mushrooms, homemade ground turkey sausage, sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Also, healthy broccoli salad.

Surprisingly, I still came in at a healthy amount of calories for the day, but I'm sure the fat content wasn't good.

Exercise: Rest Day

I'm excited to continue on my journey, and to see the results next week! Thanks for your support in reading this! More tomorrow.
