Mom's Spending $1,000,000.00

In my last post I asked Mom's to spend $1,000,000.00 on themselves.  They were not to spend money on their children.  I think all moms, myself included, could not do it.  Why?

Mom's almost always put their families first.  

Sometimes, though, when you put your families first you are not doing what is best for your family.  When it comes to taking care of themselves, moms tend to put that aside to do everything for their family.   Mom's need to be selfish when it comes to their health.  

We keep foods that we think other family members want in our kitchen cupboards.  We know those foods are going to sabotage our diets.  We don't take time to exercise because someone in our family needs something.  

As moms, it is time to start giving our health priority.  We need to be in good health for our families and ourselves.  Please take the time to take care of yourself, so you will have energy to do things with your husband and your children.  Your long term health will benefit, too!!

Warning scale is 3 pounds light!  

After 4 weeks on THE 100 plan.  I have lost 7.5 pounds.  As you many have noticed, I went up 1/2 pound this week.  I finished week four on Sunday.  The first four weeks were very strict. Now I am eating a little more.  I have added in some fruit.  I still am supposed to stay under 100 sugar calories per day (that's any carb grams multiplied X 4).  It still doesn't allow for many carbs.   I will be staying with mostly proteins and vegetables, with a small amount of fruit.

I am not too concerned with the 1/2 pound gain this week.  It is probably due to salt.  I had a pickle craving for a few days.  If I wanted ice cream with them I might be worried!  My weight tends to go up if I eat salt.  It usually drops back in a couple of days.  

The good thing is my clothes just keep getting loser.  I feel better and look better so that actual number is not even concerning me.  I actually stayed off the scales for a few days.  I know I am getting smaller so why let the scales affect my mood. Here is a picture of me in size 8 shorts.  They aren't even snug.  This diet is working!!!
