So I did pledge not to eat out this month, and I don't think I have. I definitely haven't paid for anything, but I get a free sample of a breakfast Hot Pocket yesterday at Sam's yesterday. If that does count, I screwed up by eating two bites of disappointment! They look so good on the box - maybe it would be better if I ate the whole thing. The other issue is that Fridays are Frosty days for the girls. There's a Wendy's by Ava's daycare and on Friday, we always get a Frosty because they made it through another week. I make it a big deal, but really I have a bunch of free coupons I bought back at Halloween. So, technically, I didn't pay for it when they ate it. And I didn't have one, so I should be ok....maybe?
I feel good about this week other than the above questionable moments. I only exercised one day, but that was good. Hannah and I went to the park across the street from school and walked the trail that's 1.1 miles. We walked at a normal pace and made it around in 20 minutes. Hannah really enjoyed this 1-on-1 time with me, so I think she may hold me accountable in this area. I just need to leave school at a decent time!
Ava has been a terror this week. Ok, that's probably exaggerating, but she has gotten in a lot of trouble at school, which of course embarrasses me since I'm a teacher, but also makes me very frustrated and confused because I don't know what to do to fix it. When Hannah was 4, she went through the same thing, but Hannah actually feels guilt when she makes me mad, so she fixed it pretty quickly. Ava is, well, definitely not as quick to care how she is affecting those around her. Not sure what to do next with her....not that this has anything to do with losing weight, except that I may be putting a 40 pound child up for adoption soon!
