So today is Valentine’s Day.. and doing this is my expression of love for myself.

I think I have to keep reminding myself this, that by exercising and eating well I am loving myself.. this is the treat.. not the cookies

Yesterday my husband I celebrated Valentine’s Day by leaving the kids at my parents and having a day out on the town to ourselves.  We went to Art Galleries, went out to eat and walked around downtown.  It was such an amazing day.  We used to do this all the time when we were living downtown.  I realized how much not having a car and walking every where really helped us stay healthier.  We were so tired by the time we picked up the kids.

Food wise, I totally cheated, but I didn’t do the crazy cheats that I would of done five days ago.  I picked the best of all the evils.. I’m in Phase I of Fat Smashers, so right now there is no meat allowed.. but I did have a little salmon and chicken.. but I did eat A LOT of vegetables.. we walked a lot and didn’t go crazy on the dessert.

Today, it was back to the grind.  I walked for 30 mins and ate well.

B - Yogurt and Oatmeal

L - Chinese Fried Rice (Brown Rice, Egg Whites and Vegetables)

S - Salad

D - Grilled Vegetables and Lentil Soup

S - Grapefruit

Thanks for all the suggestions about the water.  This water thing is just killing me.  I had 4 glasses on Thursday, 5-6 yesterday, but only 3 today.  I am a juice addict.. I am talking 4-5 glasses a day easy.. which amounts to a hell of a lot of calories.  I’m pretty sure this is how I gained most of my weight in the last year.  Because I was nursing, I needed extra liquids, and I didn’t stop myself from drinking juice, thinking that it is in the best interest of my daughter to be hydrated.  But now I am paying for it.  I am going to go and get some of those crystal light packets.  I think even if I use a little bit in each glass it will help.
